Suns are actually even on the boards and shooting 10 percent better.

should be ahead by more than 2.

believe it or not NO is shooting worse from 3 than us.

But wWillams isn't going to.play him. With Landry more miss than hit. It wouldn't hurt to start Holiday in the 3rd and see if he can do anything

It's a bit redundant but I would play Payne with Holiday.

If someone wants to take a folding chair and hit Alverado in the face WWE style, I would not fault them for it.
This is the perfect game for Holiday. CJ and Devonte Graham primarily play the 1 and Alvarado is the third guard off the bench. He’s an irritant.

You’re telling me Holiday can’t give you a 5 minute stretch of just annoyance and possibly get a few baskets?!?

It’s not that, they drive hard, only cam Johnson drives hard on the suns.

It's like Cam Payne has become reluctant to drive and take the punishment.

Bridges will drive when he gets an opening.

I don’t understand why we don’t post bridges when he has McCollum guarding him. He showed during the season the ability to post shorter players. Make McCollum on the defensive end. He mostly just sits and watches as bridges just sits in the corner.

Payne is a serious liability… At least if he’s not turning the ball over, he can be acceptable… but he’s been a wreckless turnover machine.

He looks like the guy that was forced to play in China.

Suns have driven the basket been down and no fouls have been called
Dude we take like the fewest FTs in the league or close to it. It’s not our game. There’s no league wide conspiracy to deny suns free throws.
