'Good to see our two Point Guard splitting 24 minutes on the floor.

If anybody in the locker room has a brain theyre talking about how to get the ball to Ayton.

Part of this whole Ayton/Doncic debate that nobody talks about much is that Ayton has to have teammates that get him the ball to succeed. Doncic not so much.

This is what needs to happen but the Pacers front line is so physical. In the off season Ayton will need to put on some more muscle.

Tj called for a technical after a no call on him.

Way worse

He comitted an intentional foul before the tech out of frustration

All of that as a result of taking a contest jumper instead of passing to a wiiiide open Ayton

Today might be the day I am convinced that we have to sell high on Warren.

Nice breakdown BC.

It has to be the right trade though. The Suns starters are not clicking for sure.

Booker complaining to the officials during the timeout... not good. The Suns frustration is starting to show.

TJ just looks frustrated by everything. Before the Oubre trade he looked like part of the solution now he looks like part of the problem.

Well Booker has been terrible

Getting killed defensively, taking bad shots and bricking his 3s.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pacers extending their defense and overplaying outside. The Suns need to find a way to make them pay.

 

[devilalum]

This is not the same team that played the Nougats. Too much standing around watching.

The Suns best unit is their bench: Holmes, Oubre and Jackson.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Well that escalated quickly. Disappointing. Glad I didn’t shell out any $ for this. Every time I come close to considering paying for a game they throw up one of these and let me ease my wallet back into my pocket.

How long is it going to take Igor to realize that Oubre needs to replace Warren in the starting line-up?

 

[Mainstreet]

Exactly. Oubre for Warren needs to happen in the starting lineup.

Exactly. Oubre for Warren needs to happen in the starting lineup.

I think that's the wrong move. I'd do nothing to diminish Warren's trade value. At this point, his trade value is far more important to us long term than being a little more competitive in games we aren't going to win anyway IMO.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Pacers 96 - Suns 73

I was looking at it from the Suns perspective.

If the Suns are going to trade Warren, then by all means keep starting him.

 

[Shaggy]

I hate to think it but do the Suns play better without Booker?

 

[Mainstreet]

I can't remember Acy scoring a basket since his arrival.

 

[slinslin]

Igor needs to grow some balls.

Sometimes the coach needs to wake up his team.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I hate to think it but do the Suns play better without Booker?

No, they don't. But the Booker we've seen for much of this season has been either playing injured or trying to play himself into game shape so of course he isn't playing anywhere near his potential. And he's still stuck without a true PG.

He’s starting to have a John Wall type effect on the team.

He’s trying to do too much. He needs to let his teammates handle the ball more and let them do their thing rather than trying to play make for everyone.

I don’t think it’s chasing stats but it’s not a good look.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need to reestablish Booker as a shooting guard by adding a point guard.

The Suns need to reestablish Booker as a shooting guard by adding a point guard.

This, provided that the point guard is truly a legitimate NBA starting point guard. And Warren needs to be the piece that goes in the trade.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm wondering what Warren's trade value is.
