Correction: The Mavericks play at the Suns.

Despite having young legs, the Suns are 5-10 this season in the second games of back-to-back sets this season.

It looks like Brandon Knight will be out tonight but is expected to play against the Kings.

Damn...PJ is on fire

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe PJ Tucker has earned the right to start at SG when Knight returns.

Bringing Knight off the bench is definitely not going to encourage him resigning here.

Pj da man!

He is a RFA so he may not have the choice. He won't be happy about it though.

 

[AfroSuns]

Dallas wants to come in and run....stupid game plan

I know. The Suns better not say they are going to match any sign and trade like they did with Bledsoe.

 

[AfroSuns]

Anybody wonder why Green is a favorite of the crowd just have to see how he is happy for his team mates even when he is not getting any playing time. Dude is just great guy

 

[AfroSuns]

I really havent seen anything good from Price

So far but it is only his second game with the Suns. I doubt if he has even practiced with the team.

Marcus Morris with 5 assists in the first quarter. What's up with that?

 

[Absolute Zero]

Solid D by the Suns holding the Mavs to .395 shooting so far.

 

[Mainstreet]

I do see Price directing the Suns players where to be on offense which is refreshing.

I guess i just haven't seen him play, so when he jacks up those 3s (all misses), i wonder if that is how he plays.....We already have Green and Thornton for that

I hear what you are saying. All I know is the Suns have a surprising amount of confidence in him. He must have been on the Suns radar even before he came back from China.

We're looking really good right now defensively. I feel like even the buckets that they have made somewhat flukey. We just need to keep getting the rebound.

Offensively, we gotta move the ball around more, we're making ton of contested or difficult shots right now how long will that last.

 

[sunsfan88]

Defense is rock solid. I'm loving it.

 

[Cheesewater]

Who was Monta jawing at at the end there?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Impressive first half

 

[Mainstreet]

Who would have thought it.

Tucker has been the anchor on defense.

 

[AfroSuns]

The Ref i think
