What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson I asked Devin Booker and Chris Paul about their first impressions of Aaron Holiday.
Paul: “Everybody keeps saying we got a Holiday, so you already know what it is. They hoop, play hard, defend, great teammates.”
Booker said he’s always had a lot of respect for them from afar. – 12:59 AM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Chris Paul said at the timeout with 4:55 left, Devin Booker told the huddle, “Aight, under 5 minutes. Y’all know what time it is.” – 12:58 AM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin These two.
Devin Booker and Chris Paul. #Suns pic.twitter.com/Hh3mdRxwO1 – 12:41 AM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Devin Booker joked he wasn’t sure Chris Paul was going to throw him the lob on that alley-oop.
Chris Paul joked, “I hadn’t seen him dunk in awhile.” Then he brought up the wide-open windmill he missed a few games back – 12:41 AM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Devin Booker quips and laughs with a “you guys keep asking the same question” when @Duane Rankin opens on the difference in the last 3-4 minutes.
True! – 12:38 AM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Nicolas Batum on pre-break finale Thursday vs Rockets: “We need this one.” – 12:29 AM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Batum: “The comeback, I mean, that’s who we are.” – 12:28 AM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Nicolas Batum is praising Robert Covington’s defense, putting on Kawhi Leonard’s level with his ability to create events, possibly better than Kawhi. – 12:27 AM

Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif Nico Batum says that RoCo’s hands are “insane.” Looks at the box score for his steals. “3? Feels like he got 10.” – 12:26 AM

Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif Nico Batum said he started focusing on his quick, high-release three-pointer this offseason knowing he’d be playing off playmakers who could get him shots and knowing he’d need to beat closeouts. – 12:25 AM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Final: PHX 103, LAC 96
Booker: 26 Pts, 4 Ast, 11-19 FG
Paul: 17 Pts, 14 Ast, 5 Reb
Bridges: 19 Pts, 9 Reb
Ayton: 12 Pts, 12 Reb
Morris: 23 Pts, 10-17 FG – 12:10 AM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Devin Booker forces a turnover by jamming Kennard into the corner then SPRINTS full court for the lob finish. Might be the plays of the night. – 12:01 AM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Paul back-to-back lobs to Ayton and Booker. #Suns up five. – 12:01 AM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Woooo buddy that Chris Paul to Devin Booker alley-oop will be on some highlight reels tonight – 12:01 AM

3. First of the night on 3 3PT FGAs.
Craig grabbing a his back after an offensive rebound and putback attempt in traffic.
McGee and Craig out.
Booker and Ayton in.
#Suns closing with Johnson, Paul, Booker, Bridges and Ayton.
Tie game. #Suns – 11:54 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin #Suns open 4th with Holiday, Payton, Johnson, Craig and McGee. – 11:42 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Suns leaned on Booker in 1st, Ayton in 2nd, and Mikal Bridges in 3rd quarter.
It’s an 81-72 Phoenix lead, with Bridges scoring 12 of his 16 after half.
Obviously the 4th quarter is usually Chris Paul time for Phoenix. Paul has a quiet 10 points, 10 assists, 1 turnover. – 11:41 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA D’Angelo Russell on Jaden McDaniels:
“The sky is the limit for him. He’s a quiet guy, but he’s a guy who looks up and might have dominated that game. We talkin about the Ants and the KATs and myself, but he’s a valuable piece for us.” – 11:39 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Booker should be flirting with 10 assists and he’s got 2 what is this 2018 – 11:39 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet End of 3Q: PHX 81, LAC 72

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA D’Angelo Russell on Karl-Anthony Towns’ 39-point night tonight:
“KAT put us on his back. It was pretty evident right there. He put us on his back. He was an All Star tonight. On the floor, he dominated the game. We win when he does that.” – 11:36 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Devin Booker is a bad man. He’s got 10 points of his 23 points here in the last couple of minutes and the Suns are up by 13 all of a sudden – 11:35 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Devin Booker is now 10-of-14 from the field – 11:34 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin #Suns up 10 as Booker scores in transition. Has 20. – 11:34 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA D’Angelo Russell on the fans tonight: “I called, they answered”.
DLo brought the game ball to his postgame press conference. He said the ball was for the fans — those standing up at home, Wolves fans on twitter, and those who were in the arena. – 11:32 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Booker 3. #Suns up eight. – 11:32 PM

Spencer Percy @QCHspencer I see Devin Booker kind of potential in Johnny Davis. – 11:19 PM

Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson Batum rebound, Batum lightning-quick-release 3, Batum block, Batum steal … Batum and his Clippers fighting — and leading, 58-57. – 11:19 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Batum defense sparking 6-0 Clippers run. Locks up Booker middy, then after the block, catches Booker’s failing attempt to draw a foul and save it under his basket.
Sequence leads to Mann attacking Paul in transition and finding Zubac trail dunk.
Clippers up 58-57, 8:27 3rdQ. – 11:18 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Batum 3. #Suns lead down to 3 before Ayton scores off Booker assist.
#Suns up 57-54 as Jackson answers. – 11:16 PM

Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif If you’ve ever been to a Clippers practice or shootaround you’ve seen Nico Batum practice his quick, high-release three-pointer. Just did it for a swish. – 11:15 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Batum is going to redefine how IG trainers are shooting these catch-shoot 3s 🤣 – 11:15 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin #Suns 53 #Clippers 47 Half.
PHX: Booker 13 (6-of-8 FGs), Ayton 8 and 8 boards, McGee 8. Team: 53.5% FG (3-of-11 3PT) Paint pts: 32.

Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson Suns 53, Clips 47 | Half | Morris has 14, Batum 13. Booker 13. Suns shooting 53.5% from the field to the Clips’ 40% … but the Clips have hit 6 of 18 3s and Phoenix just 3 for 11. – 11:00 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Phoenix takes a 53-47 halftime lead, though it is a major accomplishment for Clippers that the lead never reached double digits with Suns shooting 53.5% FGs.
Booker with 13 points, all in 1st quarter. Ayton started making up for bad 1st quarter with 8 points, 7 rebounds in 2nd. – 10:58 PM

Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif The Clippers close the first half in Phoenix with some juice thanks to Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris’ late buckets.
It’s Phoenix 53, Clippers 47
Devin Booker has 13 points and 2 fouls. Ayton, in his first game vs. LAC this season, has 8 and 8.

Paul: 6 Pts, 7 Ast
Morris: 14 Pts, 6-9 FG – 10:55 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Chris Paul just won a jump ball against Nic Batum – 10:50 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson CP3 just halted that possession off a Booker kickout for a 4v3 scramble situation because he knew that PnR was gonna be there for a DA layup. The guy tends to be a few steps ahead. – 10:46 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Booker steal.
Booker turnover.
Batum uncontested layup.
#Suns up 43-40 as Ayton scores. – 10:43 PM

Tas Melas @TasMelas Serge Ibaka plays 54 minutes combined on back-to-back nights. Guess the bod is feeling good. – 10:37 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Great 2 minutes for Holiday. A lob to McGee and pull-up 3. Blew up one action for Kennard and then another to force a TO. Draped on him. – 10:31 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Aaron Holiday had a nice lob feed to JaVale McGee. Few plays later, drills a deep pull-up 3 in transition. Then forces a Clippers turnover. Dude can play – 10:31 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin McGee with the floater in the lane for two, but Marcus Morris Sr. answers.
#Susn down two as Holiday hits a 3. – 10:30 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin #Suns have Holiday, Payton, Johnson, Craig and McGee on the floor. – 10:29 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Clippers up 26-22 through one quarter of play in Phoenix.
Big opening quarter from Ivica Zubac: 7 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and a block in all but 5 seconds of the period.
Deandre Ayton: 0 points, 0/4 FGs, 1 rebound.
Chris Paul mostly chilled (0/1 FGs). Booker has 13. – 10:28 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Having flashbacks to when the Suns went 4 million years without a 30-point quarter in the WCFs. Booker had 13 of the Suns’ 22 points. – 10:25 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet End of 1Q: LAC 26, PHX 22
Booker: 13 Pts, 6-7 FG
Bridges: 4 Pts, 3 Reb
Crowder: 3 Pts

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Zubac with eight rebounds already.. Two offensive.
#Suns down four as Booker has 13 of their 22 points.
#ClipperNation is getting pretty much whatever shot they want while contesting most of Phoenix’s attempts. – 10:24 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Payton, Johnson and McGee checking in – 10:19 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Devin Booker made only 5 of 22 shots last month here against Clippers.
The correction has been made, as he has already made 4 of his first 5 shots tonight.
Clippers still holding on to 21-16 lead with 3:44 left.
Ayton is 0/4 from field, with multiple point blank misses. – 10:19 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Devin Booker has 9 of the Suns’ first 16 points. The crowd groaned when Deandre Ayton caught the ball in the paint and didn’t go up with it – 10:17 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Booker 3 with a little chatter at the end.
#Suns down 18-14 – 10:16 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Booker doing a great job moving the ball with all the defensive attention he’s getting. Suns not taking advantage of it. – 10:16 PM

James Boyd @RomeovilleKid Jalen Smith picks up his fifth foul on Jrue Holiday. Tough night for him defensively. #Pacers – 10:12 PM

Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob that batum block was cleeaan – 10:10 PM

Gallinari: 25, 8/17 FG
Hunter: 18, 7/12 FG – 9:52 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Anthony Edwards being out for the 2nd half switches up a few things…
– LaMelo now guarded by Vando/DLo (Ant was on him)
– More McDaniels usage
– Nowell in the rotation
– Pat Bev getting more on-ball reps as point (which slows down the O A LOT — not necessarily a bad thing) – 9:50 PM

Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif The Clippers are starting Marcus Morris, Nicolas Batum, Ivica Zubac, Terance Mann and Reggie Jackson in Phoenix, the third consecutive game that lineup has started. – 9:36 PM
