Must win. LETSSSSS GO!

I'll be at this game. Purchased the tickets at the beginning of the season when they were considered "good".

Well this is one we should win for sure. I mean Ainge, Utah, they have to be licking their chops at Cooper Flagg. He would be an idol in Utah.

Game is about to start. Go Suns!!!

Plumlee dominating.

Good start.

Didn’t think I’d ever hear anyone say that. Hehe

Defense has looked good for the most part and led to easy points on fast breaks. Booker scored 40 in last early game vs MIN, on his way in this one too. The bad - still silly TOs by KD and Book that led to Filipowski scoring on fastbreaks.

Lol Grayson with MJ impersonation.

Man, that trio of yong bigs UTA has in Markanen, Kessler, and Filipowski is as good as any other in the league. I wish we'd taken Filipowski in the draft rather than letting him slip into the second round. We could have used his size and shooting.

Nurk's gone. That's OK as pace and ball movement is looking good without him.

Are we watching the same game? Those guys are nothing special compared to other young players in the league.

Markannen of course is a very good player but Kessler and Filipowski? We are taking advantage of them on defense and on offense they are limited players (Kessler is dunk or nothing).

We are back baby

Yes, we are watching the same game. And their output or play in one game is a pretty small sample size from which to judge and basically call them subpar. They both have something we lack and that's size.

And it doesn't really matter how they score so long as they do. Kessler and Filipowski also play defense, though they're getting worked a little bit today by quicker guys. And Ighodoro is extremely limited as far as shot selection: He either throws up a floater or doesn't really shoot at all. His jumper shooting form is some of the worst I've ever seen.

Booker 34.5 over/under. What do you guys think?

Filipowski averages 5.8 ppg shooting 29% from 3 so I am not impreesed at all. He is BAD at defense, plain and simple.

Kessler very good shot blocker but like Is said superlimited on offense, it’s not a secret.
