Just to add to the ridiculousness, I live in Salt Lake City and I'm running a half marathon tomorrow. I'm wearing my Suns sweater and go to the race expo to pick up my bib and the volunteer sees my sweater, laughs, and then says he's glad Booker got injured. I tell him that's a crappy thing to say, what's he ever done to you? Dude responds that he's a Browns fan, so it's all good. I'm telling you, there is no more irrational fan base than jazz fans. One highlight though, I did see a guy with a DBook shirt and have each other compliments on our attire... Cause we're classy!

Ya jazz fans are rough, I’ve seen quite a few celebrating the Booker injury…they can’t stand him

[Indy]

jelly. i mean they are going to end up blowing up their team this summer.

[JJ Slim]

So with the Heat-Hawks game starting late because of the suspicious package and being on ESPN , are we going to miss the beginning of the Suns game? Hopefully they just start the Suns game a little late

BTW, I realized that I never went back to check on how Stix was doing in Indy the rest of this season. It's actually really impressive. They have been playing him around 25 minutes/game, and he's averaging 13.4 ppg on .531 FG% (.373 3pt%), along with 7.6 reb. Those are totally respectable numbers. Sure looks like we blew it not picking up his next year option.

Yeah, I think Stix could have developed into the PF we needed. Trading him for Craig (who we could have just signed in the summer) was not helpful, especially long term. But not picking up his option kind of started the whole problem.

[Indy]

Except that he isn't a PF.

[Split T]

I also don’t think we could have signed Craig and McGee.

Correct. Torrey got more money than we had left from our MLE.

Thanks! I'm glad we won't miss any of the game but that's 10pm my time so it's gonna be another late night. Ugh!

Arizona sports website reports Cam Johnson will start for Devin Booker tonight.

Looks like there's a good chance the game starts on ESPN2.

Jonas bodied Crowder to the floor on that missed layup.

Nice to see the Twin with back to back post ups on McCollum

[Split T]

Except that he isn't a PF.

The play by play data says he played 77% of his minutes at C this year though and he clearly was more impactful there for us.
