For whatever reason, I'm not feeling the same energy tonight like in the Dallas game.

Igor seems intent on playing Booker with a point guard which should pay dividends.

Ayton now with 3 personal fouls in four minutes. He is still in the game.

Im so glad Ariza is gone leeching up all those minutes from guys who actually put in effort.

Crawford with the nice pass to Ayton for a basket.

The Suns seem to play better with Crawford in the lineup.

Jackson is so frustrating to watch. So much talent, yet so many terrible decisions.

Someone needs to teach him. Again, he played much more intelligently at Kansas and again down the stretch last year under Triano.

A strong coach, together with an even average point guard, would make all the difference in the world for this team.

If the Suns keep Oubre, they have decisions to make with playing time.

Where was the foul on Warren? He backed away from the offensive player.

Crawford comes in the game shortly thereafter.

There still doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to Kokoskov's player substitutions.

KAT is destroying the Suns. Holmes is just not big enough to guard him. Ayton needs to be smart in the second half and not pick up dumb fouls.

Halftime:

Wolves 58 - Suns 56

Nice half by Booker with 13 points and 5 assists.

Ridiculously small line-up down the stretch in the second quarter was getting shredded on defense and on the boards. Lucky to be down only 2 at the half at full strength at home against a bad team. Not exactly progress here...

After tonight's game the Suns will go on a tough five game road trip: @ Knicks, @ Celtics, @ Wizards, @ Nets and @ Magic.

Well if they refuse to go get a legit PF than there will be plenty to go around between the 2-4 positions.

I think Oubre might cut into player's minutes, e.g., Jackson if he plays well.
