Had a game like this against a totally depleted Spurs at the end kd a long winning streak last year and came out and got shockingly destroyed at home.

Use that as motivation not to let it happen again.

 

[Mainstreet]

On pregame they are talking about Paul playing more minutes with Payne out. Suns could use another ball handler.

Maybe Shamet can help but I still like more depth there.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bismack Biyombo will start tonight. JaVale McGee will come off the bench.

Almost certain Jae will be back vs BKN.

It’s starting to get a little worrisome. Only reason we lost last year was because Paul brokedown.

We can win this damn thing if he’s healthy and at least kinda fresh.

I was hoping Payton could carry more of the load but it's not happening. I'd still like to add a forward and another ball handler.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nearing tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Biz gets the Suns on the score board with a basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with the three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need more intensity as they trail 9-7.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Suns trailing 18-13.

 

[Mainstreet]

Biz and Booker having trouble getting their shot to go down.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Book’s had some wide open looks. Just missing them. Sloppy play so far. We gotta pick up the intensity.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam with the mid-range jumper.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker trying to create the foul but doesn't get the call.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ish with nice touch for corner three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payton with a bad in-bounds pass.

 

[Phrazbit]

Payton with a bad in-bounds pass.

He is perpetually a step or 2 behind the action. He sees the open man but is slow to get the pass, he sees the open lane but gets cut off and tries a terrible runner anyway.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are not playing defense as they trail by eight.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Spurs 31 - Suns 23

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns bench only has 5 points, 3 by Wainright and 2 by McGee,
