I know we’re supposed to be happy to lose, but that was actually kind of depressing watching our young guys get their asses kicked all over the Garden floor

I wish we could’ve lost on a night when Frank and Kevin both played well. But they’ve had other nights where they’ve looked good against better teams than this. So just enjoy the crucial taking victory, and worry about the rest on a different night.

A few more of those and maybe someone getting injured on a contender and we might only have to give up a second rounder to move him. Mudiay playing well against Phoenix only increases the likelihood that they throw a stupid offer at him which we will probably more stupidly beat after renouncing him and whiffing on a max guy.

I wish Franks defense had showed up a bit more.

I’m guessing Frank isn’t leading the league in pnr defense this year.

I’m not worried about him just yet.

Booker was a little lucky. He also gets a great whistle to use a phrase Ruru taught me. Hardenesque ability to draw cheap fouls.

Booker and Ayton got a little help (from our defense mainly) tonight and suddenly they don’t look like the worst team in basketball.

PHX has to feel dumb for taking Josh Jackson over DeAaron Fox, especially after they took Bender over Jamal Murray the year before. Both of those guys would be a massive upgrade over what PHX currently has. Maybe they begin to play their way out of the top lottery odds and draft Morant.

Good jinx TV crew, good jinx.

Vonleh looked a little gassed to me. His play may start dipping a little. His high energy style may have a minutes limit.
