I really like Elie. Hope he can turn the corner a bit and put together some consistent minutes/games as backup. I think he can be that scorer we're looking for off the bench if he can balance the PG duties. Otherwise he's really just playing off the next to Book or someone.

Hopefully Trae doesn't roast Okobo.
We had better double team him.
He’s fourth in the league in assists. He can handle doubles

Pretty good defense so far by the Suns. Booker started out hot and Oubre cold.

We gotta cut the crap with wasting a challenge on stupid fouls that are actually fouls. We challenge foul calls every 1st half that refs are never going to overturn. Best to save it for a late game situation.

Rough flagrant foul call on Collins. We'll take it though.

A couple of nice moves by Ayton on offense, but gets lost twice in a row on defense.

Looked to me like he was just going for the block and missed. But contact with the head is going to get the refs’ attention.

Will Elie ever pass Ayton the ball?

2nd unit is struggling and we're not looking for or seemingly running anything for Ayton in the post. Oubre's trying to be the scorer, but we're just not spacing well and there's no flow. Ayton is playing flatfooted on D, Bridges is a zero on offense. It's hard to play him in a lineup without other scorers/shooters.

Yeah, totally. Just a common foul, IMO.

The officials haven't been calling body fouls on either team so far. We'll see if that continues.

Bridges has to stop the Boris Diaw thing of passing up layups for passes to the outside. I can't suffer through that again.

LOL. What a garbage shot at the buzzer. That looked like a middle school shot the way he released it in a panic.

Tyler Johnson has flat out sucked this year. Probably the biggest gap between expectations going in to the season and actual performance. It's a real shame.

Yeah, I think everyone is frustrated by that. Especially when he's with the second unit and there won't be a better shot available in the possession. It seems like he's afraid of contact at the rim.

Not a point guard, but plays the position because he's short.

Ridiculous foul call on Baynes.
