The bright side is that I had company who wanted to watch wrestling, so I didn’t see the game.

The down side is that I had to watch wrestling.

I’m a little more than half way through the first quarter. Did Mark Cuban talk to the Suns before the game?

So at halftime the good news is the Suns are on pace to score 100 points in the game. The bad news is that the Clippers are on pace to score 158.

At least I’m glad the Suns kept fighting in the second half. Alex Len must be on the payroll though. Oh for seven on free throws.

The Suns just ran out of quarters. They needed a 5th quarter to complete the comeback tonight.

But they might be tires, and we can maybe steal one if we play with energy all night.
Well, they weren't Bridgestones but they ran over us.

But he was 7-9 from the field. Go figure ...
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

It didn't seem like Payton played well last night. I don't remember him making any significant difference when I watched.

The Suns are now last in defensive points per possession and next to last in offensive points per possession.

Not surprisingly, they have the worst point differential and worst won-lost record in the league.

By far his least impactful performance with us. Let's hope it's an aberration.

Nobody mentioned Shaq's debut. Not bad for his first game. He played some pretty good defense and bothered Rivers a bit.

Once again his individual defense was just flat out awful and much of it was effort related
