Anyone notice that this team is 9-10 on the road (a win tonight from being .500)? The suns are the only team in the league with a road record that good that has an overall losing record.

This is not the way it is supposed to work. They need to figure out the answer.

Suns only have 5 points off the bench, Bridges 2 and Jerome 3.

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 78 - Spurs 72

Suns bench still only has 5 points. If they lose, that's a big part of the story.

Spurs bench has 22 points.

I hope the Arena model goes a long way to change it.

In the season opener the energy level was pretty good, but the last one I went to the atmosphere didn't pick up until the final few minutes.

It's just dead in there, waaaaaaaaaaaay too brightly lit, their sound system is just constantly droning stuff that the crowd ignores, probably because it's played so often you can't help but tune it out. Whoever runs the PA doesn't seem to understand the tempo of the game. But my biggest complaint is the brightness, it is jarring and I did read that they are totally redoing the lighting, trying to replicate the theater style lighting of places like the Garden.

I see Saric is having his Alex Len like one good game in 5 or 6.

Outside of that Booker and Oubre are carrying the team.

Very disappointed in Ayton and the bench.

Can that court level camera angle never happen again? That was awful.

Suns trying to win without scoring from the bench. Only 5 points with 7:02 to go.

Bridges should have shot the ball.
