It looks like Booker and Jackson will start in the back court for the Suns.

[Hoop Head]

Holmes is back tonight, that's what Chambers and Leander were just talking about on the pregame.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker scores the Suns first basket... a 3 pointer.

 

[Chaplin]

Ayton being aggressive.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with a sweet pass to Bender for the basket.

 

[Chaplin]

Booker looking sharp so far too.

Can I say I’m glad we didn’t get Ellington in the trade with Miami? The guy doesn’t know how to pass.

 

[Finito]

Ja Morant would look so good running this team

 

[Mainstreet]

Holmes is now in the game and quickly scores.

Game tied 21-21.

 

[Mainstreet]

Holmes with a scary tumble over his head. He is all right.

 

[Finito]

That could of been really bad

 

[Mainstreet]

I wonder if the Suns would have any interest in Ish Smith in the off season. He would be good depth.

 

[Chaplin]

We already have depth, don't need more end of the bench PGs.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 32 - Pistons 29

 

[Mainstreet]

We already have depth, don't need more end of the bench PGs.

I'm not seeing much on the bench. The Suns are even looking at Fredette.

 

[Chaplin]

Melton and Okobo are fine for that role. Not sure why you always bring up backup PGs as possible pickups. We don't need any backups anymore, we need a starter. We have plenty of backups between Melton, Okobo and even Booker.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges should have been a wide receiver. He would catch everything.

 

[Chaplin]

Troy Daniels having a game to forget.

Ayton has to be careful, Zaza Pachulia is as dirty as they come.

 

[Mainstreet]

Melton and Okobo are fine for that role. Not sure why you always bring up backup PGs as possible pickups. We don't need any backups anymore, we need a starter. We have plenty of backups between Melton, Okobo and even Booker.

The Suns need a starter at point guard but the only player that has shown ability to consistently run the team is Tyler Johnson. However, with his salary he might be needed to use in a trade.

 

[Finito]

Real pretty move by Ayton

 

[Mainstreet]

With Ayton having 3 personal fouls Spalding enters the game.

 

[Chaplin]

The Suns need a starter at point guard but the only player that has shown ability to consistently run the team is Tyler Johnson. However, with his salary he might be needed to use in a trade.

Melton has been perfectly fine in a backup role. There is no reason to sign every average to below average point guard when we already have Melton (and Okobo) under our control.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 60 - Pistons 58

 

[Mainstreet]

Melton has been perfectly fine in a backup role. There is no reason to sign every average to below average point guard when we already have Melton (and Okobo) under our control.

I consider Melton and Okobo as 3rd and 4th options heading into next season... not necessarily in that order.
