Suns are way too little without KD. Keegan bodied the hell out of Booker on two different drives to the rack. Huerter rebounding over Tyus Jones and Beal. And the biggest dude they have on the floor is just one giant BBQ chicken to Domas.

Bad pinky taped to the ring finger makes two ineffective fingers. Throw in the now taped thumb, and he has his index and middle finger that are good.

I don’t understand Brown’s infatuation with Sabonis shooting more 3s. He isn’t great at it, if even average. If I’m the other team I count that as a win every time. Why pull our best and pretty much only rebounder away from the basket so often?
