I believe Hayward is out with foot issues. Still, we don't win here often and it's not likely tonight.

Go Suns!!!

Wow, that Favors block on Knight was humiliating.

I sure hope we see the building blocks of the future get big minutes again. The awe-inspiring excellence of basketball genius that is Knight and Tucker gives me goosebumps. Every contested 3 pointer at the beginning of the shot clock by Knight should always put a smile on your face, almost as much as the mesmerizing athletic prowess of of PJ-the one man fast break-Tucker. It's a shame we are limited to giving each of these guys only 48 minutes in regulation, I know we all pine to see what brilliant play they're going to make. Yes, the sweet bliss of Suns basketball excellence.

You don't like him taking a long contested three just after coming across halfcourt?

Actually, with 32 seconds left in the quarter, it was justifiable as a two-for-one.

Or are you complaining about the next possession?

This would make more sense if it didn't seem to happen every time that black hole gets the ball.

5-19 from our starting back court. Utah's perimeter defense isn't that good.
Go Suns!

Why is it that I find this ad so unpleasant?

Booker has no lift on his shot, he's got dead legs.

Good. Brooklyn lost tonight, so we have to keep pace.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

We've had some stinkers this year, but this is one of the worst.

Suns down by 33 after an 18-2 Jazz run to start the 4th.
