2 days no basketball - pretty sure that's a good think between book's ankle and jalen's return

it doesnt happen often because our bench usually plays stellar defense creating points off it - but they've struggled recently on d often pinning them in a half court offense - that's just not their bag

book plays pretty much the entire first quarter- im guessing jalen will want to as well but we will need an assassin available anytime our bench goes stagnant on offense - idc if it's book or jalen but im thinking jalen

cool thing is jalen has watched book courtside run this offense for months

Dillon Brooks draws close to a suspension. He has 14 technical fouls.

Except it's not true. Only one day with no basketball. Back at it tomorrow. It's every other day for a few games and then back to back and then we finally get a two day break between Philly and Atlanta to end the trip.

Pistons is going to be tough but I think we have a chance. Just have to come out not sleeping. Hope Book looks for his shot early. He might be pissed off by that Larsson kid. If they play sloppy and give up easy shots, put the bench in quickly!

I am shocked he is only questionable. The Suns have really errored on the side of caution this season. My guess is that it's Booker's doing.

If Devin can play, he is not one to take nights off. I admire that quality in him. However, the medical staff should help determine if he is able.

We need to play Livers who is currently a better defender than Dunn. Also need to use Fleming a bit against the strong and big frontline of the Pistons
