What do the Suns think this is? A must-win playoff game or something?

Couldn’t have asked for a better start and first half. We’ve got them right where we want them.

If it took this long to declare that he'll play, I'm pretty sure it indicates he's not 100% right now.
He’s definitely not. I think it was a mistake for him to play. I think it contributed to our slow start. He looked better in the 2nd quarter though.

Im very confused how that was a travel
Same reason it wasn’t a travel when Wemby danced around in the lane near the end of the half.

Way too many first half whistles. And the Spurs shooters are on fire, covered or not.

Dude. Defense can not allow opponents to shoot 100% from the line. We need to work on that.

It’s his 1st game back with just limited practice. Rust is to be expected. The whole team is playing like crap right now. Not saying he’s is or isn’t 100%. Just saying I don’t think this game is a good indication to say one way or the other. It’s just game 5 people, it’s okay to wait and see.

Yep. You can honestly say that our free throw defense has been non-existent.

It’s game one of Booker returning too soon.

The more we send them to the line, the harder it is for them to shoot 100%.

Wemby fouled Booker twice and then they called Booker for a foul
