Suns get called for more bull ticky tack fouls than any team in the league.

Like the way we’re playing so far but gotta be prepared for the wave from PG13/Melo. Westbrook is warming up.

Finally we're starting to use Dragan more in the high post.

That Booker-Daniels-Jackson-Warren-Bender lineup is really good.

It is a shame that we can not play that unit with Adams on the court, but we need to play those five together more against other teams.

Getting the full good Bender experience tonight. Lots of elbow/Horns/Flex usage and strong defense. Still think the biggest hurdle with him is mindset, being consistently aggressive offensively (e.g. not floating/settling for 3PTA). It's what will determine whether he ends up a high level or low level guy.

Josh Jackson is oozing with talent, but it really seems like he's being enabled in the worst way right now. Suns aren't reigning in some of his wild decision making. It's one thing to tell guys to keep being aggressive, it's another to allow guys to drive into traffic consistently with no plan.

You see it with Booker/Jackson/Warren/Ulis, they can go into pickup ball mode too often. Need to weed out those tendencies.

I'm telling you, those Mello 3s are on the horizon. Need to close out.

Did I just witnessed our D# to rotate ON TIME? damn

Yeah. We are playing solid team defense tonight.

Nice to have this lead without Booker shooting well. I wonder what's up with him from the line. Bender looking good. Warren too, though I wish he would just launch the 3, miss or not, when he gets the pass and is open from there.

You can tell the Thunder really miss Roberson.

The Suns have received the memo. Play Book at PG JJ at SG and Warren at the SF...with Bender at the 4.....nice

Thespianoid · Post #39 » by **Thespianoid** » Mon Jan 8, 2018 2:23 am

Booker with some terrible body language after the pocket pass turnover.

Bender settled for a bad 3 again.

Midnight_Suns · Post #40 » by **Midnight_Suns** » Mon Jan 8, 2018 2:26 am

Booker needs to run the point so that we can give Jackson Ulis' minutes. It's 4 on 5 when Tyler is on the floor.
