Question.

What do you think about having the All Star weekend in your city? Does it make any difference to you? Good? Bad? Honestly curious.

It's probably exciting if you can get tickets and go see all the stars. Other than that, I don't see much. We will probably get one of the spots in the skills competition of those 3 man teams if they are still doing that.

Would there be more players out and about in public?

Jesus Allen.......crazy.

suns have played 60+ games and our coaching staff needed all these time to figure out how easier it is to score with a fast paced offense. smh

Maybe. I used to live right near some of the big clubs in downtown Scottsdale and there would often be celebrities there. I imagine they would all be at one or two hotels...I don't know what they'd do though. Most probably would just come in on Friday and leave Sunday night. I've only seen one player out in Phoenix...Nash, at a bar in Scottsdale. I think his rookie season. I talked to him a bit at the bar.

Well, it's good they figured it out. Just hopefully we don't rely on too much iso. I don't know if I expect that, and I know people think you need that for the playoffs, but I want the ball movement until we get good shots.

Allen 6 3s so far and Nurkic 8 boards.

I'm out at dinner with my wife and just checked the box. Holy hell! Allen is on that LeBron Balco stuff or something.

Halftime.Feels like the Suns should be up 30.

iso ball forcing bad shots - lead down to 7
ball sharing, fast paced offense - lead up to 20

it could be so easy

KD has single-handedly allowed the Raptors back into this. Turns it over on a bad pass in the paint. He is the only defender between the ball and the hoop, and he bails entirely to give up the 2. Then comes down and misses a contested 2 and then has a lazy closeout on a 3.

He has to be pulled the second he bailed out defensively on the turnover. He has not sprinted at all this entire game. Dude is going through the motions

You'd think that with all the hoop acumen he has and how much he cares about the game he'd be smarter and more controlled with the ball in his hands. Unfortunately, he's wildly careless and has some awful ball management.

the raptors broadcast is telling it like it is.
iso basketball gets you into trouble

I just don't get the fascination with endless chucking from distance. We need to take threes when the opportunity presents and it's a good look, not just bombing for the sake of hoping one goes in.

We need to be smarter. We've let them come within striking distance and have once again squandered a sizable lead due to poor takes, questionable looks, and carelessness in general.

every time durant/nurkic are trying to be creative bad things happen.
you are not steve nash ffs

worst 4th qtr differential in the last 70 years.
lol

Once again, we're off to greatness in the fourth. Outstanding effort as usual, guys.

Eubanks is officially peaking
