Schedule gets real after this one.

Deandre Ayton has already been ruled OUT for the game.

Why am I NOT surprised?

 

[Yuma]

Schedule gets real after this one.

Good. We need to see how this team can compete against top teams. I certainly don't expect a 6 turn over game, but it would be phenomenal if the trend is towards this end instead of towards 20!

To be the best you have to beat the best.

Tip-off.

 

[Yuma]

I've been wanting to see this lineup, only with KD instead of Allen.

 

[Yuma]

Wantred to see a PF with Nurkic.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic is fouled driving to the basket and makes both free throws.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Beal was fouled and of course no call.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Hahaha, Nurk with an awful 3, love to see him put one up every once in a while but not like that. Woof…
