Starting Okobo won't matter much if JJ is starting alongside him.

Kokoskov needs to start someone that can actually shoot like Warren or Bridges in place of Booker, not Josh ".6 PER" Jackson.

Apparently, all Josh needs to do to boost his PER is not turn it over and hit the defensive boards.

I love the change in the starting lineup. I really thought we would spend a few more games kicking up dirt before Kokoskov had the balls to bench Anderson. Hopefully, we see some positive results. We shouldn't expect too much though, given that we are starting 2 rookies and 1 sophomore. I'd just like to see some energy and some bodies back on transition defense.

According to the pregame, we can expect Melton to be the backup PG tonight.

White unis again. WTF? It’s not enough we suck at basketball, we can’t even figure out the Halloween color scheme?

Ayton finishes a beautiful and-1 off the feed from Ariza. He is such a money finisher.

Hopefully the Anderson benching is a wakeup call for Ariza

Coach should require no shots be taken until Ayton touches the ball each possesion.

They were holding their own until they put in the bench and it quickly turned to shit.

I think Booker should have tried to play tonight if he's close to returning anyway. The Suns are on national TV and he makes too much $$ (160M to be specifici) to watch this from the bench in a suit.
