What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

As I sit on the shitter this morning while messing around on my phone, I just want to say thanks everyone for letting me share the game with you all last night. Had a lot of fun and tried to take some cool pictures. Plenty more with guys making ridiculous faces either complaining to the female official or looking like they were getting assaulted while shooting.
Thanks for sharing all the photos and posts from the game, AIG. It was fun to live vicariously and see the game through your eyes. Team struggles aside, it's still a thrill to go to a Suns game in person. Especially a win!

Meh…the game was over the whole time
It was still another pathetic 4th quarter showing.
I disagree. We were up 24 going in…I don’t need them to win the Q, just win the game. They were up 17 with 2 minutes left. Sixers scrubs shot 6/8 from 3 in the Q. The 11 point difference means nothing to me…it was all garbage time.
Not really. If the suns play better than the trash Sixers for the first 3 minutes of the 4th, it's game over and we can get our starters some rest. Instead we had to bring Book and Nurk back in and play the starters until the two minute mark. KD is straight up out of steam and we need to rest that guy when we can.
Nurse unleashed the hungry dawgs at the end of his bench who were willing to go full throttle because they're trying to keep a job in the NBA. It was a desperate coaching gimmick and I don't think many on the Suns bench were much concerned with the threat of losing the game.

I get the minutes tallied part. It's annoying, but it's who they are.

They also shot 6/8 from 3 and the guys taking those shots were a combined 28% from 3 on the season. They go a more reasonable 3/8 and we win by 22

Might be reading into this too much but it just doesn't feel like the players are feeling him as coach. There's nothing worse than a coach trying to hype up a lockerroom and not really getting a response. Kind of giving off Jeb Bush "please clap" vibes.

No.
Yes. Ewwwbanks had a point blank dunk with no defenders around him….AND MISSED IT!

That Thad play didn’t look good but it was 24 seconds left on the clock, game was decided, at least there was defender in front of him. We’re playing 6 against 4 when Ewwbanks is out there.
No.

Won a game we were supposed to against a lesser team (No Embiid). So good news there but still a lot of negatives in terms of how we started the game, all the TOs and overthinking and overpassing. It seems like, lately, guys are getting into the lane and forcing the kickout for a 3pt attempt just to get those shots up. We need to take 3s but we also need to score the ball. Book, Beal and KD are midrange shooters/scorers so they need to take the shots they normally take and make. We just can't seem to figure out that balance. The TOs are a killer. Not sure how we solve that at this point. I love what Grayson's done this season and he's filled the role we've asked of him without question but we shouldn't need him to hit 8 threes in order to beat a team.

Bol with some good minutes and helped keep us afloat in the first half but it's still hard for me to buy-in on him being a regular rotational contributor for some reason.
Or 9 but who's counting?

Dude, those were great pics! Maybe you went into the wrong line of work. :)

Seriously, I don't know if it's the angle, or depth of field, or the fact that IT is crouching but he looks like a little person. He's 5'10", right?

Looks like an Easter egg in NBA Jam.

Never had the opportunity to witness his splendor. I know. It's like missing out on watching Michael Jordan at his peak.
