The court is starting to grow on me. It's so much different from other courts.

Super distracting. I always feel like there's some black and white filter on it

I think Virgil Abloh designed it. Pretty sure he did their uniforms.

I'm happy we don't have to see DFS again. He always caused problems

I am also hoping we keep Jock, Sabian Lee, and Ish around for the foreseeable future. :D

I hate that Wainright made that 85 footer that didn't count. Now he will never make another full court shot in his career. At least he tries.

We need to win against this underhanded Nets squad.

Starters are all back. No more excuses. Let’s go Suns

Book looks like he didn’t miss a beat. D has been solid but way too many turnovers.

Going to try and find a positive in that Isaiah Thomas news…. He does know personality-wise what teams need to win (the secret of basketball). If he’s strictly advising and not driving any trades then maybe it could be a positive? I just hope I’m not reading a “Suns promote Isaiah Thomas to GM” article in the summer…

Finally Ish has taken the correct steps forward, when you get the ball just shoot. We can't have you think too long. We have to punish the defense for sagging. If you miss, you miss.

I'm sitting in a bar in Allentown PA, drinking a Scotch while having a cheese steak... seeing the Suns game on the main grouping of televisions. Nice.

Not a bad night if I must say. Hopefully the pull off a win and keep their drive alive. Good to see Booker back, too.

Does anyone have a good link? I can't get anything to work.

It's a nationally televised game on TNT. You don't have that?

No, I have a link that goes off. I don't have cable. Just streaming apps and NBA League Pass which doesn't air nationally televised games.

Ahh. My bad for the assumption.
