Sixers probably should have lost that one.
And the one in Portland.
And maybe the Hawks game.

But, other than that....

Atlanta's a better team than their record currently shows... when they have Young in the line-up and he's on, they can potentially "embarrass" anybody on any given night.

Yep. Happy Miami got them 2x without Trae. This feels like Orlando last year.

Low 40s win total and 6 or 7 seed IMO

What happened to ORL?
Pretty much everyone came back and they picked up a solid 3&D in Aminu.

I guess it's their schedule.
Beat CLE, NYK, and MEM
Lost to @ATL, @TOR, MIL, DEN, @OKC, @DAL, IND

And they're gonna get Collins back at some point... they're a good team with everyone in the line-up, and when they're hitting 3's they can beat anybody.

Not hungry enough. Last year Orlando team wouldn't have lose all 3 games at home against Milwaukee, Den, & Indy even though those are good teams.

Schedule doesn't get any easier

Great play by Philly there out of the timeout.

Love to see a team run a real play instead of having a player go 1 on 1
And that was the Cavs' issue last night. Way too much one on one. Think they had 13 assists on 38 made baskets.

Obviously worked up until the 3 minute mark but that cannot happen moving forward.

If we had Ayton.... Baynes had to cover 3 7 footers this game. Fuck the NBA.

Good game. Looks like getting an actual point guard was just what the doctor ordered for the Suns.

Ayton definitely would have helped you guys. Between, AD, Javale and Dwight, every time Baynes turned around he was having to deal with a different 7 footer.

At one point, late in the game, the Lakers had outscored the Suns 70-46 in the paint. Ayton would have helped close that gap.

Here’s the play. Some disgruntled Suns fan already posted it. (Not me)

I got nothing as to why he'd get the shots and the ball...looked like the type of foul you'd see a couple times a game.

no doubt a silly shot, but ballhandling for him was surprising.

To be fair, the ball had been poked loose into the backcourt, so he was trying to beat the shot clock.
It just looked fairly amusing at the time, especially considering the score and time left in the game.

Was serious his ballhandling skills surprised me....kept thinking he'd lose it. That shot was ridiculous though (and still 3-4 secs. left on clock). He definitely panicked.

Is it the Bruce Bowen rule where you cannot put your feet underneath a shooter?
I didn't know that type of foul can be considered flagrant.

Regardless, it was a flagrant 1 foul on Baynes, so should have been 3 shots for the attempted 3, at least 1 more from the line for the flagrant (was it considered a technical? did he get 2 for this?), and the ball.
