I'm glad he can do something.

Really impressed by his chucking treys with the team down by a thousand points.
He does a lousy Kevin Durant impersonation.

Well, if turnovers for a young player is a good indication of high improvement, then we should expect a ton of more improvement from Booker soon enough.

as the only threat, they were smothering Booker, as should be the game plan for all of our opponents. he still had a good game

Josh got 31 minutes and gave us 20 with 7 rebounds and 3 steals
give him 31 every night

if i could take any 3 players from the suns for a new team
it would be Booker, Josh, and perhaps Monroe.
Warren and Len are magician's assistants - they disappear a lot.
and bender and chris will never be impact players

Honestly, I am ok with a few like Bender and Warren, but I think I would take Booker and Jackson. Everyone else is expendable in my mind.

i agree. Warren would be fine off the bench and Bender might make a good reserve eventually.

Our interior D was sooooo bad in this game, especially when Monroe was in. The Pistons went to the rim non-stop when he was our center.

Bender has been really disappointing lately as well. His D has regressed from where it was at the start of the year and he’s way too content just getting out of the way or standing in the corner on O. I don’t know if it’s the coaches telling him to do that or what, but players don’t get better getting out of the way and standing in the corner for 20 minutes a game.

The Pistons showed the Suns what real defense looks like tonight. My only solace was that the Suns were able to get the final margin under 30.

It was the second night of a back-to-back.
The Pistons are one of the best teams in the East, under the radar somewhat with the Celtics streak and now the re-emergence of Cleveland.

HOWEVER, the Suns played like they expected to lose.
When the Pistons started making a run in the first quarter, Phoenix folded like a house of cards.
Ish Smith looked like Isiah Thomas of the Bad Boys teams, carving up the Suns in the paint.

Show a little pride, guys ...

I think he has been timid since the face thing when he started wearing the mask. He is much less physical, and it shows in his rebounding #s as well as the stuff you mentioned.

Good take.

They are definitely a very good team. They recently beat the Celtics and they have beaten the Warriors this year.

They got their ass kicked. Ouch!
