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

There is just zero players with ability to create their shot without him.

Hows about if he is hurt he just goes ahead and doesn't play.

I really liked Melton in his minutes.

My God. We're unwatchable.

Turning this garbage off. Terrible. Was having a good day and very nice evening. Put this on and there hasn't been a single ounce of positivity. Wake me up next season.

Were you watching with your eyes closed?

Two missed 3s and beat on 2 backdoor cuts immediately after he checked in.

31 point deficit and it's not even half time. At home.

I still can't understand how anyone thought blowing all the cap space on Ariza was acceptable. What a waste.

And Mikal Bridges isn't a bad player, but I can't forget 2 1st rounders were invested in him. Absolutely brutal.

Poor McDonough. He put together such a strong roster this off-season and landed a few stud FA's. Anderson and Ariza were highly sought after. And they fire him just as he assembled his masterpiece.

So far they're looking like they can match those 40-point losses from last year.

Melton is settling in. This lineup of Melton/Arizona/Bridges/Warren/Ayton played three good defensive possessions. Suns have cut the lead by 5.

I’m starting to think we might lose this game, guys. Sorry to be a downer but I’m just calling it how I see it.

Awesome defense from Ayton on Pau there, made him miss badly!

i expect ariza and chandler to ask to be released by midseason because they are playing for next year's contract.

There are better things to do on Halloween than pay an outrageous price to watch this Suns team in person.

Trick or Treat!

Bobby Sarver gets a lump of coal in his bag for turning a once proud franchise into a pathetic punching bag.
