Isiah Thomas says we will be competing for the 8th seed.

Thomas says don’t be surprised if China wins this game.

China scores the first two baskets followed by David Kramer from 3. This kid can shoot.

Lecque playing but got injured now.

Spaulding with the one handed alley-oop throw down!

Ugh. Haven’t gotten there yet but Lecque just had a two handed, move the ball in the air throw down that Thomas compared to Dominique Wilkins.

He's back now.

Suns up 22-13 after one.

Post by **Superbone** » Fri Jul 12, 2019 5:24 pm

Suns playing the end of the bench (Jack Salt?) but still up 43 to 22 at halftime. Thomas’ pregame scouting report might have been a little off.

That’s good to hear. He took a knee to the quad.

But there are only 10-minute quarters.

When I heard that I just chalked it up to weird national perception of the Suns, no matter what team is playing. Thomas and Kamla both said nice things about the peojected starting lineup and bench depth, which contradicted the consensus national opinion.
