Game Day: Suns (13-28) @ Cavs (29-11), Thurs 1/19/17

[Mori Chu]

I missed this one; long day at the office. I don't tend to want to watch us play the league's top teams because I know we'll get destroyed. I guess it's encouraging that four of our starters (Warren, Chandler, Booker, Bledsoe) all had strong scoring nights. Tyson Chicken with 22! When's the last time he scored that many?! Lebron with 15 assists; wow.

Do you guys think the Cavs are better than the Warriors, Spurs, and other top Western teams? It's their title to lose, after all. I think it is fairly even, but the Cavs have an easier playoff path, so I think they have the inside shot at winning the title because they'll be more rested again.

I still don't think anyone can beat the warriors. The warriors had the better team last year and added Durant. I just don't see how Cleveland can win now.

But Cavs added Korver And Irving seems to own the Warriors more often than not.

Eh, Booker and Bledsoe shot a combined 11 for 33 and had half as many turnovers as assists. I wouldn't call it a strong night for either of them but yes, Chandler and Warren played well.

[Shabazz]

I really liked the way Booker played tonight. His shot wasn't falling, but he kept attacking the basket and did a really nice job distributing and on the glass. I much prefer this type of game from him than the way he played vs the Jazz, when he scored 25, but only shot 4 FTs and had 0-1-0-0 for the rest of his box score.

On the other hand, Bledsoe had a nice stat line, but "Lackadaisical Eric" appearing in the first half and a big reason we went down big early. 2 turnovers to start the game. Seemed disinterested half the time and had a few sequences where he dribbled for nearly the entire shot clock before taking a crappy contested shot.

I'm no fan of Booker and Warren playing the entire second half (Booker subbed out with 1 minute to go). It's a rookie-coach move and not in the best interest of the team. There's no reason you can't give a player a 5 minute breather. Booker looked gassed by the end of the game.

Len must have made a pass at Watson's wife or something. He's in the doghouse, but undeservedly. He continues to look pretty good out there and put up solid per-minute numbers.

Chandler doing alot of things on the court. Rebounding the ball, getting put backs, playing all of the center minutes...

Tucker with a -16 bless his heart. He does all of the little things doesn't he?

[Indy]

Tucker was awful last night. He is at the point in his career where he needs to be used in limited minutes, or only play in half the games. His body can't do what he wants it to for as long as he is on the court. And he thinks he is MJ. It is so time to move on, or only play him 15-18 minutes a game.

[Indy]

We will be down by 18 before the middle of the 2nd. Of course, I could say that about every game and be right more often than a Bledsoe 3.

Can you tell me the winning lotto numbers please?

Nothing prescient about it. It happen more often than not.

But I will try: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
