The refs haven’t been great tonight..but I don’t think it’s been skewed towards one team. Just inconsistent. They called a lot of stuff in the 1st Q, like that weak offensive foul on Book, and that quick double tech on Jae/Marcus. Then they called nothing in the 2nd Q. Just need to be consistent so we know how to play.

Refs affecting the game both ways. They easily could've called a 3rd on Book but didn't, which makes up for a few missed calls for us. The T on Jae was unnecessary and PG also pushed off on him which cost us the challenge.

DA great in the 1st half. They have no answer for him. We should try more lobs to the rim because they have no one who can meet him up top.

Bev might be in Book's head. He's guarding him real well and they have history. Payne is playing well but started getting a little crazy and we wasted a few possessions closing the half. Then we ended the half with PointBook, Mikal, Cam, Jae and DA which seems to be a good lineup for us. Dario was strong off the bench, Moore was better but hasn't found his offense yet.

We need to keep Book off of PG and use the other wings. They defend him better and it'll help Book avoid getting a 3rd foul. I really like Craig on him but it's hard to find him those minutes. Cam Johnson is making plays for us but not much from Mikal or Jae. Clips are taking away those 3pt looks from them. Would love to see some plays for Mikal across the lane for his jumper or some cuts.

Don't love that we're only up 1 and PG is 4-12 and 0-4 from 3. He'll be better in the 2nd half. Jackson is shaking loose a bit and hitting some shots and Mann is coming in hot off the bench. Rondo is hitting his 3s so I guess we need to guard him.

Suns just don’t have it tonight.

I love this!

I don't know how the Suns are going to get this win without their slump buster.

Who could've guessed Pat Beverley would commit a foul that looked nothing like a basketball play? Oh yeah, everyone.

I think George has travelled at least three times on his drives.

Oh, so we're back to first quarter officiating.

The correct call is a blocked shot by Ayton.

Dude these refs

Ugh

Brain fart by Ayton.

I'm surprised the called the foul on Zubac there.

CAM PAYNE

CAM PAYNE

Cam Payne is single handling keeping us in this game.

Getting some Dragic vs the Spurs flashbacks with some of these buckets by Payne.

We’re not winning this game unless Booker wakes up. What shit game after game 1. Still plenty of time to be legendary.

WOW Cam Payne.
