Suns @ 76ers game thread 12-4-17

[Mainstreet]

Tonight the Suns visit the 76ers with a game start time scheduled for 5 p.m. Arizona time. The game is televised on FSAZ.

See more at the ESPN Preview at the link below.

The Sixers, who have won two of their past three games, continue to be without rookie guard Markelle Fultz, who has missed the past 17 games with a shoulder ailment. Guard/forward Justin Anderson (shin splints) is also out, and the status of guard T.J. McConnell (shoulder sprain) is uncertain. He missed the past two games.

Phoenix, which has dropped two straight and five of six, is without guard Davon Reed and guard/forward Alan Williams because of knee injuries. Center Alex Len also missed the Boston game with a sprained ankle, and his status for Monday was unclear.

Why do they keep starting Chriss?

Why do they keep starting Chriss?

Because he will get angry and go home. LOL

Bender didn't impress in his first start.

Maybe the Suns should start Peters. It couldn't hurt.

They could start me and there wouldn't be any drop. I can watch other players play, not play defense, foul, turn the ball over, and complain to the refs with the best of them.

Alex Len is 9 months older than Embiid.

DBook off to a slow offensive start - 2/11. But we know that will change.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker fouled in face. The 76ers assessed a flagrant 1.

Suns lead 97-91 with 7:03 left in the 4th quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are really playing sloppy at the moment.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker has 33 points. Warren has 25 points.

Chandler is playing tough in the middle with 7 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Suns have had a lot of good players over the years but they haven’t had a lot of killers.

Booker is a killer.

Booker is special. The Suns need to get him more help as teams are concentrating on him.

Booker hits another 3 with a defender draped all over him.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Wow....

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Joel Embid isn't smiling or talking much trash tonight

 

[Mainstreet]

Awesome! Booker is having one of those games with 41 points.

Chandler is the man.

A long range 3 by Booker... I mean long range. He is feeling it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Funny. Josh Jackson is waving a towel like he wants to cool Booker down.

Final

Suns 115 - 76ers 101

Booker scores 46 points.

How you turn 2-11 shooting into an efficient 46 points to end the night....He really put on an athletic display tonight just dribble driving over and over. Big dunk with Embid on him. At one point he dribbled through through a double team and into the remaining 3 defenders for a layup.
