I've started following my brother's lead (he's a huge hockey fan) and if I have a choice, I watch the away broadcast on away games and the home broadcast on home games. This crew is pretty good and not too unbalanced.
I've been doing this since there is internet streaming. Have never loved Suns commentators.

i've said before that i really like Knight. looks like he's more willing to play the 2 guard position and doing a damn good job at it i might add. it's still early to tell but his numbers next to goran's aren't comparable. looks like mc'd did a good job in choosing the right one, i'm still sad about that la pick though.

Rough start but he had his best game as a Sun tonight. He had some huge 3s and offensive rebound put backs.

The league needs to fine him for that first one. Chandler just has his arm out and Jokic runs up from behind and throws a huge flop as if Chandler just clotheslined him. The guy is a rookie. Fine his ass.

They played well tonight. Part of the reason we came back and won.

Dang, man. You missed a heck of a comeback.

Thanks for the recap. He's a good dude and has been playing out of his mind the last few weeks.
Yep, thanks Indy. He's really coming on. What is cap going to do if he becomes an all-star in the West?

Some random comments...

The Denver announcers are OK. Feel like they wanted to be homers and make unfair onesided comments but when they see replays they end up making the right calls. I appreciated that. However I wish their TV production crew could have showed some more relevant highlights. This is entertainment after all. If the suns had a couple of good plays how about showing one or two. Failing that, at least show us what happened with knight's ankle god damn it.

Really loved what I saw out of Len tonight. He seems to have picked up the tapping offensive rebound back out if cannot secure trick from Chandler, and I love his discipline in challenging shots without leaving his feet. The fifteen footers were sweet as well.

We ran a three pg lineup towards the end. Damn. Good thing Denver didn't have personnel to take advantage. I guess part of that is coz they were pressing to catch us and partly mudiay inexperience.

Teletovic is markedly slower than leuer but also far more confident in his three pointer. When both played d I notice leuer always took the tougher opponent.

Too bad the young kids couldn't get more court time. At least weems didn't take their minutes.

Our defense is still pretty awful. Better in the second half but still awful.

Markieff really needs to pull his head out of his ass. I'd take Ryan Anderson any day. Even if we have to deal with the contract stuff again this summer.

I rewatched the Suns broadcast and there were so many more favorable shots of our guys. It was great seeing the bench reactions to the comeback.

Disagree with you there. I rewatched the second half and I thought our defense was dang good.

It was there when it mattered.

Chandler`s arms need to be more disruptive.
