And just like that the lead is all but gone.

You can thank Igor for the time-out call and removal of Ayton.

I maintain that for all of the team's flaws and holes, Igor is the biggest problem.

Suns started the season with a roster full of schaf. They may still suck but they have at least 10 guys that would make most NBA rosters. They should all get better going forward.

Are you surprised?

It was still a nice start. Ayton needs to come back in and do some damage. Hopefully they go back to him.

They won't. Igor's M.O.

Haven't you realized that's their MO? They complain about how anyone would be an improvement to what we have at PG and then we bring someone in and they change it to "anyone but him, he sucks".
I agree with them on Igor but damn there was pages and pages about how horrible Tyler J is. All I see is pure hustle and in your face D.

For the last time, Tyler Johnson is NOT a point guard!

Johnson isn't being officiated like a Sun, I hope that continues and rubs off on some of other guys. Jackson or Bridges would have been whistled for a foul on Livingston but instead he complains too much and get a tech. I like it.

Three personal fouls on Cousins is good news.

The graphic said 4. I hope he has 4, 3 is good though. I'm glad the Warriors got 2 tech's already too. That should keep the officiating neutral-ish. Cousins with the 1 and Livingston the other.

You are right. ESPN has 4 personal fouls as well.

Livingston was arguing that he was hit on the wrist, I didn't see that at all. It looked like Tyler got him on the palm of the hand during the followthrough. Regardless, whether not calling the minor contact was right or wrong could you imagine if the Suns complained about such a little thing?

And you're right about what Tyler can do, he bodied Thompson up for several seconds and no way would Jackson or Bridges get away with that. Maybe he can show them whatever difference there is with his approach there.

The Suns are missing lots of easy shots at the rim.

Boogie ain't Boogie....You can tell..EJ was like he's back...far from it

Yeah, he's not. He's unable or at least reluctant to do much in the way of jumping and Ayton took advantage of that often. He's still a factor though even if he isn't all the way back (he may never be).
