[Mainstreet]

Dario is out but going through regular pregame routine.

Dort is a very strong player and plays bigger than his height. Good matchup with Crowder methinks.

Yeah, Dort can be over powering. Too bad the Suns missed out on him as an undrafted free agent.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Payne is OUT tonight. The idea of a third point guard is sounding better and better.

Hopefully Chris Paul is motivated against a former team and wants to show up SGA.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns go with the same starting lineup.

Also Nader should be motivated as well.

Guess I need to get used to seeing people openly talking about smoking pot now like they do drinking. It still seems bizarre it was legalized here in AZ.

 

[Mainstreet]

A W would be nice.

With Payne being out makes it just a little bit harder. I guess we will see Moore and Carter at backup point guard.

Ugh no payne saric booker yeaaaa might be a bad night

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have a two-way contract spot open. Adding a point guard would not be a terrible idea.

 

[BC867]

Tom Leander will do the play-by-play tonight. He is so much smoother than Kevin Ray.

And he works much more comfortably with Eddie Johnson. And with Annie.

So, whatever the undermanned Suns do, this will be an enjoyable game to watch.

It's amazing how OKC rebuilds and still keeps winning.

I've always thought the Suns should have added third point guard behind Payne for insurance. J.J. Barea would have been nice before he went to a team in Spain.

 

[BC867]

And it is Annie doing color commentary with Leander tonight.

Smooth!

 

[Mainstreet]

Time for tipoff.

 

[Mainstreet]

Free throw line jumper by Paul to start game.

 

[Mainstreet]

OKC is content to fire up 3-pointers.

Suns lead 13-6.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Feels like there’s zero energy in this game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Carter and Moore off the bench at guard.

 

[Mainstreet]

Impressed by Moore's pass to Crowder in the corner but he missed the shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jalen who is in the game nails 3-pointer.

 

[BC867]

Suns are hot from the 3-point line and playing defense.

And they win the 1st quarter 32-17.
