[BC867]

Today's game is due to be televised on both FSAZ and TNT.

I am going to start by watching TNT. If they turn out to be
more annoying than Kevin Ray -- or of they show favoritism
for Dallas -- I'll switch back.

Either way, thanks, Suns, for making us proud for the first
time in over a decade.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton doesn't need to get in foul trouble early. Maybe the Suns should start Kaminsky instead. I guess that would be sending the wrong message though.

Keep your arms straight up on defense Deandre.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We are 9-point favorites today. Weird saying that.

That is a very large number in the NBA. I would take the points.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Omg im extremely nervous right now go suns

 

[Mainstreet]

About to tip off.

 

[BC867]

Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller doing the play-by-play. TNT it is!

A professional team highlighting our Suns.

 

[Cheesebeef]

this is as close to a Game 7 as we've seen in forever!

 

[Mainstreet]

Rubio with nice pass to Booker for layup.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker cannot afford to get in foul trouble today.

 

[BC867]

They're all missing to start the game.

Ah, Suns 2-0 with a Booker bucket.

Then Booker fouls Doncic.

3-2 Dalls.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with 3-pointer!

 

[BC867]

Ayton with two misses.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout:

Suns lead 13-9.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Maybe Ayton should watch some game film on Boban. Too soon?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

It's sad how little faith we have in Ayton. Boban isn't any good.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton takes a 3-pointer and misses.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Ayton 0-3 and no rebounds. Sweet game bro.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Fumbles the entry pass leading to a hurried 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton gets contested layup.
