Loads of open 3s just have to make them.

Getting slightly better at sticking with their rotation and drives on D.

That was definitely Ayton's worst half.

Booker is defending pretty well tonight, he is on Brogdon and doing a good job.

Crap end to the half there.

DA good on D ... regressing on O

Ayton getting nothing against Turner / Sabonis.

But we're exploiting their bigs and getting open 3s.

Big test for us keeping up this intensity.

I don't know he was awful last night. He is a good defensive player but he is absolutely awful offensively, not what people thought coming out of college.

This is what **** me off. Booker can play defense if he wants to, but most of the time defends like he's too good to worry about it.

He just needs to stop trying to be selfish and force points. It's not happening, it never happens; give it a rest.

Absolutely.

He probably is tired, and this is when we go again to be in a great physical condition. He is just 22 and looks OLD on the court tonight.

Good to see Paul with equal best +/-

Ball seems to be moving with intent and 0 turnovers in the half.

He looks regressed offensively since his rookie year. I thought Igor was holding him back a little his rookie year. He just looks more timid than ever. He doesn’t even fight for any garbage buckets anymore and I don’t think I have seen him catch a lob this year. Looks like a poor mans Capela

Earlier in the season we won a successful challenge in a similar play, the Suns got the rebound and they made us do a jump ball. This time, they gave possession to Indiana. Why do refs hate us? Monty was pissed.

Yeah that was the denver game. Luckily we won the tip and then CP3 hit the shot to put us up by 4. It shoulda been jump ball here too.

Unfortunately, way say this about every full game. He has a long way to go. Imagine how good our team would be if he was a consistent productive player.

Might be a hot take, but I don't even think his defense is that good. His ability to switch and play the perimeter is definitely valuable for a center, but his help side and non-switch pick and roll defense still have a long way to go. He also has the worst net rating and defensive rating of rotation players so far this year.

In college it was kind of the opposite, though he was playing against a lot smaller guys. But the big question mark was his defense...he was one of the worst high profile bigs on defense to come out of the draft ever.

He is not playing well on offense tonight, but I am not terribly concerned. Coming into this game he was extremely efficient with a 63% TS% and the defense REALLY caves on him this year which is why we get so many wide open 3s. His gravity helps immensely overall on offense.

When he gets single coverage like last night, he is efficient...but we have so much depth and 7 scorers averaging double digits, so Booker and Ayton are both scoring 5 fewer PPG.

Probably a dynasty behind Bulls and Warriors. We may need to wait three more years for that to happen.

Do you like any players on the team? What did you think of the last 10 years?

Favorite Suns trio of all time
