I look forward to the young crew continuing to get the bulk of the minutes. The Bulls game was very fun to watch. I hope this game follows suit.

Go Suns!!!

I agree that the Bulls game was a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to this one.

It will be interesting to see what Alex Len does against this team. I think they are very athletic and his match ups are all going to be quicker than he is. I would like to see him aggressive and physical while taking it strong to the hoop rather than settling for jumpers.

I do not think that is too much to ask.

I also would like to see more of Jones Jr.
What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

Bucks start Thon Maker at the 5, so Len should have a good matchup in the post. Len struggles when he can't get in rhythm due to physical play in the post. Maker is not someone who can be physical with Len, so Len should have a good game.

Early projections... not so good.

Technical on Giannis and a personal on Chriss on that exchange.

I'm calling it now. Chriss will be thrown from this game.

Say what you will about Len, but he has improved dramatically as a rebounder over the last few years. And he is one of the only plus defenders on the roster right now. One thing we forget, he is still only 23 - just a year older than Buddy 'Future HOFmer' Hield.

Lol - These days, Dudley changes directions about as well as a zamboni.

The Bucks have to be the longest team on the planet. So many blocks and deflections already.

Also Watson does the dumb thing and leaves Chriss in with 2 fouls against Giannis and he gets his 3rd before the 1st Q even ends.

Are you telling me just pacing up and down the sideline isn't good coaching? :)

I really wish we would let Ulis run the pick and roll as the first option on offense when he is in there. Then if that doesn't work out try a play.

Edit: As I say that the next two possessions are just that. Nice.

Can we just give Williams a 10-year contract or something? He seems like such a good, level-headed dude. I'd like him to be on the team forever.

Beasley doing what he never did for the Suns... not take contested 20 footers all game. If only Knight could do the same.

It's all chill. Beasley is just a Suns' sleeper agent. He knows how badly we need some Ls. Doing his former team a solid.

Are we really trying to zone it up? While applying back court pressure?

Easy jumper for the Bucks.
