Game Day: Suns (10 - 21) @ Mavericks (8 - 22), Mon 12/18/17

Post by bajanguy008 »

Time: 6:30 pm AZ (5:30 pm PT / 8:30 pm ET)
Place: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
TV: FSAZ/NBALP

Suns continue their West Coast road trip tonight in Dallas in what is a matchup of two of the bottom teams in the conference. The Mavs will be without first round draft pick Dennis Smith Jr and have lost four of their last five but still seem to be playing hard for Carlisle.
Let's see if we can build off our win against the Wolves and continue our scrappy play and great work on the boards. Will be interesting to see what Triano does with the 3 headed PG and C odd man out routines

Go Suns !!!

https://twitter.com/sbordow/status/942825280502104069 Len has been playing very well so would not be cool if he gets the DNP tonight and this is also interesting regarding if Mike James gets another CD-DNP

Keep the streak alive, Bajan. Thanks for the high-quality thread.

I don't even know what to expect tonight. This is a must-win with Booker, but without him anything is possible. Lets see if Jackson, Bender, and Len can build on last game. Won't be mad if there's a bit of a let down from Canaan. He played over his head against the Wolves.

I like the aggressiveness from Jackson. Just wish he could hit a jumper. :)

I kind of like to see them play without Booker, just to see the other guys have to step it up. I did get to see the Wolves game today. They had 19 turnovers in the first half? Ouch!

I wish he would not settle for the J and keep his dribble until he gets a layup or a pass to an open teammate. That's a lot to ask from a rookie, though.

And that is why players cry to the refs.

Watching Len thrive for another team next year is going to be difficult.

I really like how the team plays with Canaan on the court. We dno't need a star PG, we just need a guy who gets everyone moving and involved.

I wonder how much more time they are going to give Ulis in the starting lineup.

Hate to see it, but it might mean more minutes for Jackson. Yes,I'm an asshole.
