Just a thought, Booker is reminds me a bit of James Harden in a good way with his scoring and passing ability.

P.J. playing with energy! I like it.

Tucker looked like Archie Goodwin when he took the ball coast to coast.

Len needs to realize that his stupid fouls and injuries are the only thing stopping him. Quit fouling kid!

The thing is, he doesn't need to foul if keeps his arms straight up with his height. This is enough to bother most shooters.

Right, exactly! There is no need to foul.

Brandon Knight 0-7 from the field.

Such a predictable game after how he played last time.

The Suns need to get him a layup to get him going. In the first half he turned down several good shots although he is 0-7.

I wish Chandler had more hops (at his age). Booker could feed him for a lot of dunks.

I don't think he knows what a "good shot" is.

He had some chances to drive it hard to the basket but he does not like to do it. It looks like he likes to avoid contact.

Not just avoiding contact, but he is a really bad finished. I'm not sure about this season but I know he was among the worst finishers in the league last season.

It could be because he dislikes contact or he is worried about getting injured.

Finally Knight drives it to the basket.

 

[sunsfan88]

Tucker decides to play hard today of all days....I think he knows that TWolves are probably his best opportunity to up his stats a little bit.

This is a must lose game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Knight passes the ball when he is underneath the basket. I don't quite understand it. The Wolves need to play hard to get the win.

 

[GatorAZ]

The PJ Tucker fastbreak trainwreck.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yikes. Tucker with 23 points and 10 rebounds.

 

[GatorAZ]

Booker getting schooled. Learning experience.

 

[sunsfan88]

Suns shooting themselves in the foot again.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Oh good god you have to lose this game!
