Booker must've forced a shot early in the clock instead of taking the last shot to show the guys what not to do. Thats his thing right?
LOL
Good to have you here in real game time

I think Igor decided as strategy to concede offensive rebounds, and make sure that they get back in transition defense. OKC fights for every board, offensive and defensive and they aren't worried about Phoenix in transition. I mean, Canaan can't pass me on the 101, so you never worry about him hitting the open man. And the Suns only get in transition off live ball turnovers. Adams is a beast, but isn't he like 6 years older than Ayton?

I think he's the least of our worries right now. Our max contract shooting guard is shooting 30% from the field at the moment.

I love the lobs to Ayton, but not when he already has 3 defenders on him. Hit the open shooter.

Well that max contract SG you are talking about is basically the starting PG because Canaan is on the team. Definitely not the least of our problems.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

TJ is the best player in the NBA at drawing contact to his head.

Not sure what happened at the end of the third, but Jackson was pissed at v Warren.

Did Bridges hurt himself? There was a play earlier when he fell down and came up walking kind of stiff. We didn't see much of him in the 3rd.

Nope. Just resting him though most of the 3rd to let him play the full 4th.

Not even close this season. BKRef has him with 5. Last year he lead the Suns by a wide margin with 82.

The lead is down to 6. Booker is really struggling, but you have to guard him anyway. So he's got his 11 assists already. I'm liking Crawford with this lineup.
