First possession of the game Orlando posts up Gordon on Ariza for a 3-point play.

Get used to it.

I don;t really like the color - too blue. Need to be more purple.

2 bad teams keeping it close. I really like Jackson handling on the break. I think he just needs to play his game. Looks like the same thing with Okobo, who seems indecisive at times. Good to see Ayton finally back down his man and throw his hand up, even better to see Ariza throw him the ball and we get an easy basket.

Agreed. They've already been trending too much towards blue over the years...but this is just ridiculous.

Eddie Johnson made an amazing point- Loose ball on the floor, Bridges runs half the floor and dives for the ball out of bounds. They show the replay and Eddie notes that it wouldn't have mattered if Bridges had saved the ball because none of the Suns players were chasing the play. They were standing and watching on the other end of the floor. Nothing pisses me off more than this kind of stuff.

I like Elie. I like Josh. Ayton still plays like he's got his head up his ass. He should be dominating and it seems like he just doesn't have the motor. Even without the motor he's 20/10 and a guy you can build around, but I wish we had someone/someway to light a spark there.

I was just about to say Josh Jackson is a better point guard than any other player on our roster!

Josh Jackson taking over with a driving layup, the ally-oop to Holmes and a bullet pass in transition to Elie. Looks really comfortable out there.

Igor needs to be giving Ayton more minutes than he usually does, with Booker and Warren out!

You can't tell me Bender wouldn't give them more than Anderson does.

It's bad when Anderson is still getting minutes over Bender.
