Watch Kelly Oubre, he's developing into a really nice player. Also, Kieff is not going to play, he's suspended by the league.

We need massive effort tonight by MJ and Book guarding Beal and Wall.

I was so prepared for a loss but that Porter news got my hopes up. Let's GOOO!

It's still very difficult though. Back to back and against a good team on the road.

Yeah, Porter is their glue guy and best defender.

With Markieff and him out I think that we can steal this game.

Porter being out is huge.

The key is not letting Beal get open and keeping Wall out of the paint. Do that and we can steal this one.

Porter isn't the best defender. Kelly Oubre is.

Mark my words:
Jackson tries a spin move layup tonight and gets rejected by wall.

Yeah, he is good but I think that Porter's size/wingspan makes him a more versatile defender.

We will see if Oubre can stop Warren today. :wink:

Undrafted rookie PG who has been playing overseas for a few years.
He is 27 years old and he is playing really well for us, solid player.

The arena is empty.

Pretty sad for one of the best teams in the East

Al McCoy hasn't called the last couple games, is he sick or does he not travel anymore? Anyone know?

Pretty good defense on the Italian pistol Pete

Can't wait until Josh gets a decent shot. Booke needs to improve his diet and exercise

Is this arena always so empty? Or just for the Suns?
