“One thing I don’t want to do is put more on Book’s plate as far as him having to handle the ball every possession Chris is not in the game.” Monty Williams on idea of Devin Booker being primarily ball handler when Chris Paul is out as Cameron Payne (sore left foot). #Suns pic.twitter.com/L1bckgUdvo – 8:51 PM

Also sounds like @Anfernee Simons might not be available tomorrow either, Chauncey Billups said the guard woke up Thursday “in a lot of pain.” – 8:34 PM

Couple of things with Cam Payne out tonight:
1) Monty said he doesn’t want to put too much more on Devin Booker’s plate, so not sure how many Point Book lineups we see
2) He mentioned putting “other guys” in positions to initiate offense (Landry, Mikal, Cam?) – 8:29 PM

In the moment, I was annoyed that Ant waved off the Rudy screen here — and then proceeded to take a fading midrange J.
But live I didn’t notice that Mikal Bridges pre-switches off KAT to Gobert, so as to be able to switch onto Ant if/when Rudy screened for him. Very smart. pic.twitter.com/1blT8ml2aP – 7:30 PM

There is a trust you must have when it comes to business, and I never have to question if my brother CJ has my best interest in mind.

Interesting that as G League season starts tonight, the Trail Blazers and Suns are playing each other.
They are the only two teams in the NBA without G League affiliates.
(Flip side, Ignite and Mexico City only G League teams without NBA affiliates) – 4:35 PM
