Crushing the lakers is always a good night

Were you at the game? The court looked awful on tv. I'm curious what it looked like in person. The yellows they used didn't look good. Saying it looked like bad cheese or cheap mustard is too generous.

I thought the court was better than last year but it was a push of awfulness. The design was better but last year's were some of the worst professional courts ever, IMO. The bar wasn't high to clear it but they failed in execution.

Nah, I actually had tickets but sold em. Family is in town so I couldn't make it.

But I didn't sell them on ticketmaster, made sure they didn't go to a Laker fan.

The court, on TV at least, while looking like it might cause skin cancer, I think is a vast improvement over last year's in season court. I find dark courts very unappealing. Blue courts are oppressive, grey courts look like death, green looks like puke. Our court last year looked like a tribute to the dbacks but they forgot the copper that made the purple and turqoise not look awful together.

Side note, ticketmaster is such a scam, I hate that the NBA goes through them. If I sell tickets there they take 10%, the buyer pays even more, I believe sales tax + 10%, ticketmaster taking 20% of each transaction, all through a totally automated system. I sold them to someone I know for a bit less than I probably could have gotten on ticketmaster and spared us both the fees, on both ends combined it is over 50 bucks per ticket.

I think our depth could get us by for a bit if the defense wasn't so atrocious. Maybe that part will get better as the team gets more games together, but it has been ugly these past 5 games or so.
Not sure what depth you're talking about since we went 0 for.... with them out.

Booker, please do not get outplayed by Bryant Reeves. You can take this guy.

Am I watching the Lakers broadcast? Thought I saw Kevin Harland and Reggie Miller, but it is obvious who they favour. Are the Suns still not the nation's darlings?

Bit of a different sub pattern tonight. Booker played more with the bench in the role Beal usually handled while Beal was kept out there with the starters for the majority of his minutes. I wonder if that will stick, is just an injury adjustment, or something Bud wanted to test.

Credit where its due, good W. This team is quite different from last year where they'd start hot and fall apart. This team can't start hot but generally put together strong second halves.
I said before the season Booker needs to come off the bench but still get his Min. I think we can all agree this court is not as bad as most of the tournament courts
