Payne should shoot more...he’s at like 45% from 3, but he passes up open looks sometimes. Not saying he should start pulling off the dribble a bunch, but if he’s open he should shoot it every time.

I just watched four Suns battle Valanciunas under the hoop as he got another put back. I was thinking, where is Ayton?! Then the camera pulled back and Ayton was the only Sun hanging out on the perimeter.
Why isn't there a dissection of Booker's defense every time he makes a mistake? Every time he can't keep a player out of the lane?
Because it’s not effort related.

I don't know why his playing time dried up for a few games. He's better than Moore or Galloway.

Don’t want it tonight obviously, but I hope Ja figures out how to shoot. He could be a really fun player.

Booker is making it a mission to end Dillon Brooks

The Dario pump fake...I’m really curious why anyone jumps on him, but please keep doing it, haha

Does anyone else feel like Ja lands before he shoots sometimes? Think he did it right there at the end of the 3rd and I saw it earlier in the game too.

Can’t imagine this miniature lineup is gonna work

I guess Memphis isn’t pretty small too

Shots are falling now, we're wearing them down a bit and they're missing shots. Our team is pretty dependent on the bench, namely Dario and Payne. If they're playing well and Payne especially is hitting his shots, we're tough to beat.

Monty rolling with CP, Jevon, Gallo, Payne and Dario to start the 4th.

Lol at Valunciunas complaining after an obvious shove...also why can’t Ayton do that more in the post?

Took the Suns a quarter and a half to wake up, but solid second half

I’ve decided I’d be cool if Memphis snagged the 7 or 8 seed and were our 1st round opponent.
