Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ

The Spurs come to town to show the Suns how real basketball is played. Let's at the very least see some energy and effort to start the game. I beg of thee.

Go Suns!!!

Ayton has promised to play with a lot more aggression this game. Let's see.

Actions speak for themselves. No need to talk. Too much talk indicates less action. I hate the excuses and explanations from our players, including our so-called "generational center."
Just win a damn game and shut the fuck up.

I just want to see some better effort to start the game and fewer defensive lowlights from Ayton. A couple of competent minutes from Jackson would be incredible as well, but I don't want to go asking for too much here.

Great. Chalk up another blowout loss for us, then when it happens blame Indy. Nothing to do with the Spurs being a much better team, it’s just Indy’s damn predictions.

I am going to keep predicting a win until we win. My frustration/anger with how awful we have been this decade has started to turn to apathy... and that isn't a good feeling. I would rather be upset that my team is losing...

I predict a Suns win!

Maybe not tonight, maybe not on Saturday, maybe not in my lifetime, but it will happen. More than once!

I'll take a loss under 14-15 pts. Baby steps, fellas.

I don't care whether they win. I just want to see effort, passing, solid defense. I want to see the young guys play. I want to see 2-3 young guys have good games, like Ayton, Bridges, Jackson, somebody. I just want signs of life. Hope.

I think Ayton needs a teammate to yell at him. Somebody needs to fire him up.

Let's hope you're right before the end of the year. (I was going to put a winky face but that would be too presumptuous of me.)

Igor seems to be slow to make changes. Bridges has earned the start over Ariza but I don't see that happening for a while.

Neither do they. It’s good to be simpatico like that.

I might tune in to the 1st quarter, this is going to be a blood bath though.

I think we're trying to maintain Ariza's value.

I'm on a work trip to Phoenix and convinced my co-worker to come with me. I wanted to splurge for some lower bowl seats, but I had to settle for $6 Upper Level seats. Oh well! Hope to see a W tonight, even if it's from the cheap seats!

Yeah, those tickets are pretty hot right now.
