Javale is not a rotation player. He’s a third center who gets situational minutes. Unfortunately so is Frank but at least Frank is more fluid and less disruptive

They've combined for 35 points and 8 rebounds on 12/17 FG, 10/11 FT shooting, so tonight might not be the night to make that point.

I'm not a Kaminsky fan, but he's contributed tonight and hasn't been a defensive liability despite having a huge disadvantage in bulk.

JaVale makes the highlight plays on both ends but the bulk of his minutes can get ugly. It's why he really needs to play small amounts in spurts. Otherwise the turnovers, bad shots, and blown defensive assignments/rotations are a lot more noticeable.

Cam needs to get his 3pt shot together because he can't be missing so many. Mikal's really responded tonight and come up with a lot of big baskets inside and from 3.

Frank played great D on Valunciunas tonight too…CP3 takeover to close

Chris Mutherfucking Paul.

Booker just needs to step on the line to be able to hit a 3

Ok, Booker showed up in the final 2 minutes

Booker looked dead in the water then rattled off 9 straight as Booker do. I love it.

Booker played like garbage for most of the night.
Then came off the bench for two solid defensive plays and 4 of4 from the field.
Redemption ...

Gotta leave on a make. Good to see Book break out of the funk a little bit.

Props to Frank for stepping up. He's probably one of our highest IQ guys and that says a lot on this team. Monty loves him, Paul's called him one of his favorite teammates - the guy just knows how to play. Seems to be in the right place at the right time and helped reset the offense as that connector we've missed. I don't know that's he's a rotation/every night player but that's the kind of player we need more of up front and at the 4 fulltime.

I finally had a chance to sit down and watch at the beginning of the 4th quarter. You're welcome, everyone.

Nice line from Crowder: 13 pts., 8 rbs., 5 asts., 2 steals.

Paul looked disinterested in the first half. Now we know why

This was the first game I’ve watched live…we were down 16 when I turned it on, so does that make me +28 for the season?

Ugly win. Suns need to figure their shit out. More Frank, less Javale. Boy do we miss Dario.

No Nader please.

Shamet is lost.

So we didn’t have any confidence in Jalen to pick up his third year option, but we also didn’t feel any sense of urgency to sign someone in the off-season as a backup 4???

I don’t understand our (lack of) off-season moves whatsoever.

Mikal has been a bright spot to an underwhelming start to the year.

I think we're all puzzled by that one.

Nader making anything more than league minimum seems like an over pay at this point. Shamets extension makes me very nervous also.

FTFY

Why we didn’t even resign Torrey is beyond me. No Dario, no Torrey, Jalen Stinx and we have no real oomph off the bench this year so far.

Does Booker ever make the 2 for 1 shot? He always seems to miss.

I can’t recall it happening

Theoretical question- what if Devin Booker shot the 2-for-1 shot, but had his foot on the line? Unstoppable force vs immovable object.
