All right, welcome back. We had a massive game to talk about yesterday, so it didn't come close to getting through all 15 teams in the west.

0:08.0

So let us begin post-Taste here, Mr. Lourieu, what is our next team going to be?

0:13.2

Let's go to Phoenix, where the Sons are 37 and 27,

0:17.6

4 and 3 since the last 15 and 60.

0:20.1

They are 10th in Clean The Glass Net rating plus 3.4.

0:23.0

10th in offense, 13th in defense, so pretty consistent along those lines.

0:27.0

And ESPNs BPI project them to finish with 46 wins.

1:05.8

Their competitive K-D went for 45 and was pretty successful as a score against Boston,

1:12.0

which a team that he struggled with a fair amount of the time in his

1:15.2

1:19.7

And worth noting, no Booker for Phoenix, but but also no porzingus for Boston.

1:25.0

And K.D. got started, I wanted to kind of lock in on him for this game, particularly with the 45 points,
