The Suns' problem thus far isn't offense. They are shooting 60%. The problem is that the Suns aren't defending or rebounding at all, and a bad offensive team in Detroit is on pace to put up 70 on us in the first half.

This team needs defense and rebounding, not someone like Luke Kennard.

Can anybody think of a talented big man that started out as soft as Ayton but developed into a physical presence?

Love everyone calling out Ayton for being Charmin soft.

Drummond (20) and Wood (13) doing most of the damage for Detroit.

Really like Mikal trying to score last few games, and he is looking very good doing it. This is what I was hoping for to start the season.

Starting to warm up to Bridges. Thought he was underperforming his draft spot, but is coming along nicely

Even the Suns give aways are terrible. That international ball is horrible. It’s the kind of thing that gets a kid beat up on the playground.

Showing up to the playground with that thing would be like Smalls at the beginning of The Sandlot.

Booker feeds the low post better than any Suns player.

Jermaine O'Neal maybe? Although that might have just been more do to him being really young and not being anywhere close physically at 18 and 19 to what he'd become as he matured. And I'm not even sure he'd be considered a top tier "physical presence".

Good to see some excitement on Suns bench after Okobo 3.

Man as great as book is his terrible decision making at times slays me. That quarter ended with a terrible pass by booker and the typical terrible decision to shoot a bomb three with a a defender in his face in attempts to get two for one. He does that a lot. And it never goes in. So it’s just a waste of possession.
