Also Monty says the facts aren't clear yet.

If a player isn't comfortable with playing tonight, Monty is okay with that.

Monty thinks the players will rally around each other.

I wonder if it already has been affecting the team?

it's a very fair question. something is off with this team. has been since opening night. and they're on the inside. they probably knew this was coming. with the way the Suns were RIGHT ON that first tweet, there is no doubt in my mind the players were counseled on what was going on with the article behind the scenes.

I have a couple friends who have worked on shows with racism/MeToo investigations that eventually hit the papers and all of them knew what was coming down the pike and were talked to by the powers that be before any news, article or tweet went down on a national scale from a journalist doing some investigating. I'd be stunned if the same didn't happen here. it at least lets "your people" not get totally blindsided and gives the ability to try and do damage control/coach them into what to say.

As far as basketball is concerned, we may have seen the last of Frank for awhile. Monty tends to not award back of the bench players for playing well.

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope Monty doesn't push Frank too far back on the bench. He has proved he can play when given minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Almost time for tip-off.

Let's get off to a good start tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker wide left on a three.

 

[Chaplin]

Surprised that NBA TV is using the Phoenix feed.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges hits the corner three to get Suns on scoreboard.

And again!

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder joins the three club.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout. Suns lead 11-4 with 8:46 in 1st.

 

[Chaplin]

One of the better starts if the season right now.

Thanks..

Yes Frank had a great game but we know who he is at this point in his career. Don’t expect to see that game again any time soon. Let’s not get carried away

 

[Finito]

Welp not watching this one. I subscribe to NBA League Pass and NBATV the game is blacked out because it’s being shown locally. Go to the Bally app and apparently I’m not eligible to watch it?

Whatever

I'm not talking about one good game. Frank is not going to produce like that every game but he can be a productive player if not buried deep on the bench.

 

[Finito]

If he could be productive on a regular basis don’t you think he wouldn’t of been let go by us the first time and cut by the Kings and signed back here for I think the league minimum?

I like Frank but let’s not pretend he’s something he’s not.

 

[95pro]

Was the court trimmed in purple the last few games?

Purple unis are so much better.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker nails a three.

Yes, Frank can be a contributor if given minutes. Maybe you are confusing this with a rotation player?

 

[Evil Ash]

One of the better starts if the season right now.

They certainly don't look distracted

 

[Mainstreet]

Payton to Ayton for two inside.

 

[95pro]

I can’t figure out if it’s Shamet or Payton that makes our defense suck on the second unit.

 

[Mainstreet]

I thought Cam was set outside the circle on that charge.
