Good for him
Cool stuff

Maybe for us he goes on a Van Vleet type new born run 8-) :)

He's playing out of his mind so far: 14 points on 6-10 FG 2-2 3FG, 5 rebounds, 6 assists in 14 minutes.

We've warmed up a bit in the 2nd half. Ricky's feeling it tonight so maybe being a dad will make him a better shooter?

I feel like our guys never take the shot when they have it. They're headfaking, pivoting, pulling the ball down looking to pass. Just take the shot.

Knicks having a pretty rough patch now. We have to take advantage

Couple of nice offensive rebounds from Ayton - really good to see. He’s having a good game too

Really nice stretch from the Suns there, with the Knicks melting down. Particularly Ayton. Wish Booker would have avoided his 3rd, though.

There's nothing I love more than watching professional basketball players throw an entry pass from the top of the key.

Immediately followed by a bit of a meltdown from the Suns. Ayton looks a little gassed.

21 minutes in the first half! Yikes. 14/12/2 blocks.

The Suns went on their run when I started cooking breakfast so I missed most of that, but Ricky and Ayton have some nice box score numbers.

I really like the Ayton/Rubio combination. They are both having strong games.

These Knicks uniforms are hideous.

The Ayton/Diallo pairing wasn't terrible either.

If we lose to the Knicks...
Seriously? I'm not surprised if we lose to anybody anymore.

He’d never come back, but M****s M****s is kinda exactly what we need at the 4
I listened to the last Knicks broadcast against the Suns and Mike Breen was saying that Morris really enjoyed his time here but just hated how it ended. OK, just read the first page from work without seeing the game. I'll be back late tonight after I get a chance to watch it. I'm certainly not counting on a win.
