Wow, awful tech on Cade
Can't point at the guy that you dunked on, they're going to call that every time.

Not even sure he pointed at him, think he was pointing at his bench.

I don't think he was pointing at Stix tho. Looked like he was pointing to someone off the court. Gotta let them play. Refs might've cheated everyone out of a nice back and forth.

Book's got the zoomies today. He's pretty hyped on both ends, starting to force some shots tho.

Yeah that was awkward and had me holding my breath for a few seconds.

What is happening now? Refs just need to let this game end…calling way too much for a 30 point blowout with less than 2 minutes left

Breaking news: Josh Jackson is still a POS. Seriously though, explain to me how he’s still on an NBA roster. Twelfth man gets ejected in a blow out. What a waste of talent.

Not sure, he’s really not shown any improvement. It says a lot that he’s an end of the bench guy on one of the two worst teams in the league. I’d say this is probably his last chance, but high lotto talents get a lot of chances.

Town drunk syndrome - every coach will think he's the guy who can get the most out of him (like the good woman in the old Westerns who thought they could straighten out the town drunk).

Jackson is an NBA player from the neck down, it's just that he's got a terrible basketball IQ.

Really good game for us from start to finish. We didn't let the early start throw us off like in other games on the road. This was Book's game throughout but everyone played really well and the offense was humming. We shot 58% from the field and 40% from 3 plus 22-30 FTs. CP had the midrange going just like in the playoffs, Jae and Mikal hit their 3s early, Payne broke out for 20pts on 8-12 FGs and JaVale stepped in for DA going 9-10 (and DA was 3-3 before he left the game). All of our starters played 30min or less, which hopefully helps tomorrow against SA.

Felt bad for Cunningham getting ejected on that call. He was keeping them competitive and was starting to get it going with Book. Refs may have cheated the fans on that one.

Wainright had some good moments on both ends and looks more comfortable in the offense finding his spots. Stix 0-3 but had some good drives at the basket that got him to the line. Solid on the boards again and had 2 blocks.

I was a Ulis fan, just too small and couldn’t shoot well enough. I’m pretty sure you’d find some comments of me comparing him to CP3 if he had been 3 inches taller 🤦🏻

Spoiler alert, he’s not really any different than when he was here…on the court at least.
I don’t know. His tech game is really on point now.

I’ll never forget the Ulis game winner at home over the Celtics.

Suns dominated today from start to finish. The Pistons gave it their best shot but they were down 20 when Cade was tossed.
