I like Billy letting our second unit guys play. Looks like we are clearly trying to get Diallo a lot of touches this game.

Ayton looks much better against Noel.

Steven Adams is my favorite thunder player and yet I still feel like I don’t appreciate him enough

James and Russ have historically played at different paces and one is not like the other. James takes his time and makes sure he gets a good shot for his team. We’ve seen it time and time again that Russ is going to force the issue a lot and ultimately miss a lot more shots than James which is why you need to be dominant on O-boards and find other ways to win. We’ve seen Russ just stand there on defense and not make the rotation or let his man just go by him only to try and poke the ball away to no avail.

So how do you compare the 2? That’s crazy. Russ’ weaknesses > James weaknesses.

He should be pissed at Schroeder for ruining his assist.

Adams defense breaking up that last play was amazing. He was staying in front of booker and then got back enough to deflect the lob. Thats freaking impressive.

8/13 from 3, 9/9 FT.

Can we play the Suns for the rest of the season?

He’s showing more offensively this year than he ever has.

Schroder is so underrated defensively.

Even though Ferguson didn’t finish the shot, seeing him take the ball to the basket is encouraging.

Schroder is in a bit of a shooting slump right now. Wonder if there is some injury nagging him or something. He has made 9 of his last 31 shots now going back to the Dallas game. The good news is that he is rebounding and doing a good job of finding George and Adams. He’s got 6 assists to 0 turnovers. He also has 4 steals in the first half and took a charge. Still showing he can be a difference maker even when he’s not shooting well.

Not loving the start to the 2nd half. The Suns have had four possessions. They've scored 9 points in 2 minutes in those 4 possessions.

Six possessions, six scores, 13 points for the Suns in the 3rd quarter.

Where's the defense from the first half? Still a lot of time left in this game.

Ferguson’s shot is so freaking busted.

Schroder heating right back up with back to back 3s.

We always get a little comfortable in second half on D. PHX made some adjustments. Ariza hit a crazy 3.
