hard to say a prediction. Depends if booker can integrate himself without taking away from the team. If he can we got a nice chance tonight.

This would be an epic win on the road.
The Pacers are a rock solid team (28-14) and they are completely healthy for this game.
I just want to watch a competitive game.

Good team without a lot of experience. We can steal this one like the Nuggets win. Ayton will have his hands full on both ends of the court with Sabonis and Turner.

Bummed it's Drysdale instead of EJ. I hope Booker catches the hustle fever having watched these guys. It's intermittently very fun to be a Suns fan these days.

They probably won't give Ayton credit for that block. Nice start even hitting the offensive boards.

I wish we had started Jackson for the better D and the momentum of that group.

Yeah, you wonder after some better starts and success and coming off injury if seeing how that same lineup starts and then insert Booker if things are not going well or if they are, whenever someone needs a rest.
His defense must hurt more than his offense helps....though I guess Dave King pointed that out in his article today showing he had the worst net rating in our last 16 games or something like that.
Hopefully he is able to add to what we had going and not subtract.

Hmmm one thing i noticed with Ayton. He is always trying to get himself open when there are multiple defenders in the way. Sure you can throw it over everyone and let him catch it, but he is also very close to the basket. So when people complain in reality it's not that easy to pass the ball through endless sets of hands. But that comes with experience anyway.
Also i like JJ's attack mode. They need someone besides Booker who is not afraid to attack the basket.

We looked awful with Booker on. I love book but he looks out of his depth unless he's shooting

Weren't you saying I was wrong about all this a month ago? That's why I said I'm an eye test evaluator and don't need stats after the fact to see something. Anyone can recite stats post occurrence.
I'm not saying this against you, but I remember all my takes were sh*t on vociferously not long ago, and now they are coming correct. I'm going to call the spade if no one else will. I need to credit haha.

Right now his defense is hurting more than his offense is helping. Hopefully I jinxed him and he drops 40. The hustling defensive team is fun to watch.

Jackson is playing like he wants to be a Dallas Maverick asap.
