How many fans are they letting in? Full capacity?
No, same as before as far as I could tell by the tickets they were selling. Why, did you read something about full capacity?
No, it went up effective this game. 5500+.
Ah, so is that a third capacity? I don't think I have seen any official numbers on the new layout. Hell, I can't even remember what the last one was. I know originally AWA sat 19,023.

Yeah, good question. I don't know what the new capacity is.

ETA: 18,422 is what came up when Googling.

OK, now I had to look it up.
Capacity for basketball games was originally 19,023, but was downsized after the 2002–03 season to 18,422 and further downsized to 18,055 before the 2014–15 season.
Looks like the wiki page is out dated, so we still don't know.

Interesting that the DBacks are starting at 20,000.

John Cleese will be making an appearance on the BSAZ broadcast tonight. Unfortunately, it will probably be blacked out for me.

I hope Ayton doesn't get totally dominayted by Gobert tonight. He seems to have trouble with Gobert's length in his past games against the Jazz.

The Jazz are a team that highlight the need for another big. If Ayton gets in foul trouble against them, we're toast. Dario and Frank are too small.

Maybe...I mean it’d force us to collapse a bunch on Rudy, which would leave Utah’s shooters open, but it would also pull Rudy away from the rim defensively.

I'm not worried about matching up against the Jazz. The Suns have trouble with big wing players who can score.

To this point, Clarkson is a bigger guard although most don't view him that way
I don't like how we defended him last time. We had like CP3 on him and when he checks in all he wants to do is score and is constantly moving. He also crashes the boards alot, it's like he is literally just hunting the ball all the time. Don't think CP should be running around with him, would put length on him.

I highlight him because the benches as usual will be a big factor

Couldn't have hoped for a start any better than this. Both of our starting guards look frisky.

Solid start
Book needs to stay patient if I'm nitpicking. Jazz close lanes really quick so has to not run himself in trouble

Gobert hasn't got a chance at an offensive board yet, good by DA so far

Yea that second stint of play to this last timeout
Execution was good getting to their spots but both him and CP3 missed 4 consecutive midrange

Falling in love with the mid range..they were going in early...we’ve gone ice cold. Gotta hit those against Rudy, that’s how you beat the Jazz

Ok hopefully watching from the bench to start the 2nd quarter Book settles himself down

It's one of my concerns about the Playoffs, that he wants to prove himself too badd and starts to press in games
