Book out and Rubio and Ayton back in so Monty's staggering our Big 3 which is good but we lack a shot creator. Ayton's getting some good looks inside but there's a lot of hesitation/uncertainty with our perimeter players. Ayton and Rubio just haven't figured out the PnR chemistry.

Well, I suppose if I wanted to hear from more optimistic fans, I would have gone to Brightsideofthesun.

Starters plus Payne in now. Book with a great pass inside to Ayton who's 7-10 from the field now. I like that Monty is keeping keeping Rubio's minutes down to keep him fresh but also giving Payne a chance to work with the starters.

Pacers are giving us problems off the dribble and getting to the basket. A lot of athletic slashers.

Suns have a nice lead but not big enough of lead that I’m not a nervous wreck.

We've had a few opportunities to really break this open but the shots aren't falling as much today.

We're getting a good look on almost every possession, just gotta keep hitting more than missing.

I liked Aaron Holiday coming out of college, but I didn't think he'd be this good.

Just starting. First play. I’m all ready yelling:

DUNK THE DAMN BALL!!!

Im a little bummed about how they ended the half. Let them get back into it, and they didn't need to. Almost looked like they were overthinking.

Save your voice...

Not a great way to end the half. Think we're 3-18 from 3 which may be tired legs from the Clips game? Either way, we've given up way too many lay ups. Not sure why we're playing up so close and letting them get right by. Gotta get something going from Cam and Bridges too. Need Scrimmage Bridges back.

Yup we maintained the lead all quarter but definitely were not as sharp
Monty has been able to get good response after HT so let's see how it goes

Need to lean on Booker 2nd half. Kind of got away from that in the 2nd quarter. Need to avoid have DA with the ball up top and rely on him to make a good decision. Let’s clean up the defensive lapses as well.

Still think it's a no brainier decision to trap Warren in that pick n roll with Turner and force Turner to make a play
Our rotations weren't as sharp in the 2nd qrt
Dipo still doesn't seem like himself

Ohhh
We are 3/17 from 3

Book been engaged in alot of chatter with Pacers bench
Hope he goes into beast mode in the 2nd half

ayton traveled twice on that play

Ayton will get 30 today

The number of drops/bobbles from Ayton drives me nuts.

Wow. 20-9 start. Great defense. Booker can’t miss.

Couldn’t have asked for a better start! 24-9 with 4:11 remaining in the first. Go Suns! No let down. Put them out of their misery.
