That tweet and watching the 92-93 team reunion stuff inspired a little research. Tonight's starting lineup is being paid less than the starters of the 92-93 team. Pretty wild.

Phoenix Suns Total: $14,305,000
Charles Barkley ................ 2,420,000
Tom Chambers ................... 1,885,000
Kevin Johnson .................. 1,850,000
Danny Ainge .................... 1,330,000
Kurt Rambis .................... 1,100,000
Mark West ...................... 1,000,000
Jerrod Mustaf .................. 904,000
Ed Nealy ....................... 800,000
Dan Majerle .................... 735,000
Oliver Miller .................. 517,000
Tim Kempton .................... 500,000
Negele Knight .................. 469,000

Richard Dumas .................. 140,000

That lineup was pretty good! Throw in Damion Lee and Biz and that's 7 total guys?

Aside from the Pacers hitting all their 3s, we're playing well and should have a bigger lead. Maybe the Pacers cool off and we can pull away. Good minutes from Saban and I like DWJ playing as a 2. Biz and Jock getting good looks insides from the Pacers doubling, Mikal scoring at all levels, Okogie back making plays on both ends.

It was cool seeing the '93 team out there at halftime. Nice ceremony.

Mikal with 4 good games in a row. Is he back?

Lee might be taking someone's spot. He's fit in well with the other bench guys in terms of hustle and attacking, physical play. Some good chemistry there. He's hit some big 3s too.

The halftime '93 reunion was pretty cool. Proud of our guys, showing a lot of fight. D Lee and Okogie have been all over the place. And Saben is fitting right in.

Feels like the refs are just giving the Pacers possessions at this point.

Really bad calls down the stretch. Glad we were able to pull it out. Okogie was exceptional. Biyombo also had a great game.

Fun game, a lot of up and down play and lots of 3s. Okogie was Plastic Man tonight, his highlights are just crazy. 23-10-4-4blks wearing a mask and getting to the line 15 times. Would've liked to see Mikal take over in the 4th but he was quiet and couldn't get any looks. Lee's been really good, reminds me of Brevin Knight. Biz and Jock held it down nicely. Ish's minutes have been creeping up more and more and he's been coming up with some big plays/shots. Grit-n-Grind type of win.

My Jags lost a close one in KC so I need a pick me up lol.

Play hard like we did against the Nets and I think we will get the victory.

Suns 116 Pacers 110.
112-107. Wow, pretty dang close!

Thank God for Okogie! What a game!

Also solid minutes from Saben and Ish showed me something when the game was on the line and got tight.

Two in a row! Wow! Who’d a thunk?

His production or lack there of in the 4th when the game gets tight concerns me.

We’ll have bigger problems if he’s playing that role in the 4th when the games matter more.
