20 minutes for Booker and Warren. On a night when we look a little tired, I'd like to see those minutes lower. Jackson should play more than 7 minutes.

Booker deserves a lot more assists than he gets. He needs teammates who can hit shots.

Booker hurt. Had to be carried off by Chandler and Len. Was standing the whole time but wouldn't move his left leg. Weird injury. Hopefully nothing serious.

Defenses do not respect our 3pt shooting at all, and it makes the game a lot more difficult in the paint.

Looks like a groin pull. Ugh.

He's a tough dude. Fingers crossed for him.

AIG... my guess is a groin pull.
He'd been moving laterally on defense, then grabbed the inside of his leg just below the crotch area.

Weird negative stat of the night: NO offensive rebounds for the Suns.

Adductor is a muscle group on the inside part of the thigh.

Something needs to be done to get Chriss and Bender more involved offensively. This standing around the 3-point line and taking a shot every 10 minutes just isn't doing anything for their development.

They are way too passive offensively.

not only do they miss a great deal of open shots
they often fail to even catch the ball
i've never seen a team let so many balls slip threw their fingers

the Suns should hire Larry Fitzgerald for some ball-catching drills

Magic Johnson had to hit the Lakers in the head for a few years before they caught on

Booker, Ulis, Jackson and a few other try to be creative passers
they're not accurate yet
but they should keep trying
