Game Day: Blazers (10-16) @ Suns (11-14), Mon 12/16/19
Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ
TV: FSAZ, NBALP
The last game without a banned Ayton! This team sorely needs a win. Blazers are off to a rocky start. Without Booker, we're going to have to really fight. Traveling back from Mexico probably won't help either. This has been a rough patch lately.
Go Suns!!!

Came to post the same thing. We really need a win to stop the bleeding so to speak. Any word on how long Booker is out or is it still a game-to-game thing?
Go Suns!

I heard he felt a lot better after a day of rest but I think he's still questionable for tonight.

Suns are 4-11 in their last 15 games.
If they keep this up the rest of the season, I'll win my bet with 'bone, with room to spare.
Given Ayton is a lazy knucklehead, I'm feeling like it's going to be close.

Of course you do Wormwood. I wouldn't expect any different from you. They have been dealing with a ton of injuries the last 15 games so I would expect some losses. Ayton may be a knucklehead, but I don't think he's lazy, but I guess that fits your glass-half-empty agenda.
The Suns will end the year over .500 and make the play-offs. And you will be upset that they didn't win 50.

Nah. Won't be close. Sorry.

Booker out. Tyler Johnson too.

No Book, gotta keep Dame and CJ under wraps as much as possible. Our perimeter D has had a lot of leaks lately. Anfernee Simons is really good too off the bench. Hopefully Whiteside doesn't have 20 and 20.

The officials first quarter whistles sound like a symphony of apology for the Mexico City game.

Long choppy 1st qtr with the refs blowing their whistles on everything. We benefited from a lot of the calls and Dame is on the bench with 3 fouls.
The 2nd unit came on played well I thought. Okobo and Carter both subbed in and were out there with Bridges, Cam, and Baynes. They were running the 0.5 offense well and brought some good energy.

Gotta finish the half strong - lead is down to 9.

Suns continue to get jobbed by the refs.

Monty definitely using some different lineups like Rubio, Carter, Kelly, Dario, Frank and Okobo, Carter, Cam, Dario, Frank/Baynes. Bench guys are playing great and broke the game open a bit before the Blazers chipped away. Exciting stretches of play tho- a great fastbreak with Okobo to Cam to Kelly for a dunk, Kelly with a great dunk down down the lane, Rubio with a big 3 just before the half.
McCollum's got like 20 I think, Dame's going to try and drop like 50 in the 2nd half probably.

The refs suck big time.

And where did the defense go?

Oubre!

So much for all the hard work in the first half.
Since the Suns led 59-45 in the second period they've been outscored 45-29.

Oubre literally just tried to go 1-on-4. Can't he ever pass the ball?

I can't believe how much people here trash on Oubre. You are a bunch of clowns. Dude is the heart of this team and goes balls to the walls on so many plays. He's almost always got one of the better +/- most games but some of you just harp on every mistake he makes.
Edit: DAMMIT. He's -6 tonight. Time to go back in my hole.
