Not a fan of afternoon games.

Thompson has to get downhill when he comes around the high post screens. Put pressure on the rim and good things will happen. Now he just comes off and dribbles the ball back out.

[Deleterious]

Oh sure.  KD and Booker gamble their food money and people joke about it.  I gamble my food money and get an intervention.  

[Deleterious]

Greg said it best during the broadcast.  He said Allen is lucky he plays in the era he does.

How you know you are old.  When you see the score is 93-92 with under a minute left on the clock and you think its the end of the game.  

98-95 Suns to start the 4th.  

[Deleterious]

The winning made us forget this is still a terrible team. They start Cade and four others who wouldn't start on 70% of other teams.

what the heck was JB doing there  - you needed your guys on the court more than you needed the TO, then THJ can't make  FTs.

And Thompson can't sink a trey with no-one within 20 ft of him. /.sigh./.

It's ironic for all the talk there has been in the past about Cade and Ivey not being optimal on the same team, Ivey is the slasher with the speed to make teams pay for bringing their D up court.

I wish both played better defense. But yeah, they work pretty well together I think. Certainly helps that both improved their three point shot.

Probably posted before the last two games.

I said this going into the game against NY.  People were setting themselves up for disappointment.   Winning at Madison Square Garden gave me pause but that was fools gold.

Should be underdogs in their next 6 games.  It could get ugly.
