Phoenix couldn't get to the basket or create their own shot. Not much else to say about the offense other than they couldn't hit the broadside of the barn when they did get a good look.

The defense and rebounding wasn't there either but that's another story.

This team looks defeated. The All-Star break can't come soon enough.

Without Book, we cannot create enough space for open shots. Brooks and Allen have only limited shot creating ability. Facing good team defense, Oso and Gillespie are ineffective. Also, we see Livers much better than Dunn on both O and D. Our 3pt shooters are too streaky and easily fold under pressure.
oh, saw Book walking casually out there, so it doesn't seem too severe of an injury
PS: in the 4th refs called many fouls on Heat they hadn't called earlier in the game. guess it's just balancing calls

Arguably the best Suns highlight of the night.

I’ve actually been a little disappointed with Mark Williams’ inability to post up undersized mismatches.

The hot dogs are actually really good. 1000% better than the Dbacks value dog. It's a short, fat dog on a buttery bun.

If you get popcorn, don't get it from a grab n go spot in the arena, get it from one of the fixed vendors, it will actually be fresh and they'll give you butter.

Also, without Booker we're really bad.

He's more of a slasher and lob/put back guy. He's not great with the ball in his hands if he has to dribble.

I like him, but we're better when Oso is out there, on both ends.

It’s interesting they’re really different. Williams is a better rim protector and Oso a better perimeter defender (though for his size Williams isn’t terrible on the perimeter).

Sheet refs. Especially 1st-2nd quarter.
Yep. Didn't do us any favors. That offensive foul on Goody pissed me off to no end. The guy was grabbing his jersey! Totally botched call.

Need to play Booyeah, Livers and Flemingo for this stretch. Put in those who fight. Maybe we can steal a couple until Booker is healthy. At least they will get experience.
