Let’s run it back hopefully this time we manage to close out a game. We should easily be undefeated if it wasn’t for major 4th quarter collapses. I’m not sure if Booker is playing, but getting one of two stars back would be great. Go Suns!!!

Can't say I'm excited for this one.

We know for damn sure Pop is going to throw the zone at them all game again because they don't have anyone who can get to the rack consistently.

Unfortunately, the zone won’t help this time. Suns took them for granted last game ain’t no way that happens again. The Suns should win comfortably by 15+ points tonight no need to overthink it. No more half measures of blowing leads until Booker finally comes back.

Not so sure it has to do with taking them for granted. They struggled vs. the zone in the Laker game too when they blew the big 2nd half lead.

Hope you're right though.

I expect the Suns to crush them especially the way we lost the last game and the Lakers game, we should be 4-0. BTW What's up with all these big comeback victories in the NBA this season?

The Spurs are so damn uninteresting to watch. Still can't believe we lost that last one. I also don't understand why they don't play Tre Jones much. Like his brother, teams play so much better when he is on the floor. Sochan is overrated too. They were a lot worse with Sochan on the floor and a lot better with Tre Jones out there. Their lineup just seems more balanced with Tre, Vassell, Keldon, Victor and Zach. Of course as I saw this, Sochan will probably have some monster game tonight. I think he has potential and is pretty good, but that Tre would be better to start. He's their best PG and they look pretty sloppy on the floor...and like his brother, he just makes the team work better together.

I was watching the Blazers/Pistons game last night and the Blazers analytics guy made a relevant point that hopefully we follow tonight. in the NBA it has been shown that you can't really limit your opponent's 3-point %, but you CAN limit their attempts.

Keep them off the **** 3!

I’m a Blazers fan living in the valley, going to be attending this one! Super excited to watch Wemby in action and of course all the Suns players. Suns are like an adopted second team for me, so go Suns!!

You can't play okogie if he can't take a wide open shot, just don't see how you keep him in the starting lineup

Nba needs to have 4 refs on the floor. Can't expect these people to keep up with elite athletes.

I guess the league memo is out to only call 1 out of every 5 fouls on teams facing the Suns.
