This was Chriss firsr game where I felt like he might be a legit NBA player. His stats and plays were great but he carried himself so noticeably different.

Love the win! We should beat Atlanta so I'm not worried about draft position here. Our next 12 games are against .500 teams or better.

Chriss coming to life, I love it!
Warren and Booker both really great tonight. 42 and 38 minutes though and we travel to Denver tomorrow night. Might be a rough one.

Great win with the aid if a few boneheaded Hawks plays.
Warren was solid and reliable.


Negatives: the effort lacked for most of the game. Suns got outhustled.

The PG play was abysmal. I didn't look at the box but I don't feel Canaan and Ulis had a single positive stat. Ulis was invisible and struggled even advancing the ball

Why no Josh Jackson? If coach is sending a message it better be just a game. Only excuse would be something off the court.

Bender, ugh. He's got to be more than an above average defender. He looked so lost out there tonight.

Chandlers 25 mins felt like 40. He was brutal most of the night.

Really only Chriss, Warren, and Booker played well. Len did fine, but played limited minutes.

Ya, I saw that and thought it was an easy dunk for prince. Absolutely incredible recovery by Chriss!

i'm ok with benching Josh for a game. he's got a lot to learn, other players have sat out whole games and it's a back to back anyway.

the suns' are beginning to get a taste for winning and the crowd has been into it too lately

if it wasn't for the schedule turning from soft to hard i'd say it might be time to shut down the draft thread

Mr. Marquese Chriss. You've served me a temporary gag order. Carry on, sir.

It’s a very relaxing exercise to do after every win. Only “problem” would be to get into the playoffs...

Perfect scenario. Show remarkable progress from key young players, barely miss the playoffs and win the lottery, while Miami falls to 7th.

What an ending!

It’s amazing seeing young players blossom. We get them as rookies and they aren’t exactly Super Stars. We wonder if they will ever develope into something special or even good and even question the picks sometimes. Some players just have it like Booker even his rookie year. Some players take years of mediocrity and then all of the sudden it clicks.

I wasn’t that sold on Warren early on. Now I am totally sold.

I haven’t been that sold on Chriss but, he is finally starting to get it.

I put a lot of stock in Len and he has been a little bit of a let down and then this year it finally clicks.

Bender is starting to show signs of life. His 3 pointer is starting to fall and sort of has a hook move. He till needs to put on some muscle.

Ulis is short and gets torched by taller guards and has an inconsistent shot and is prone to turnovers, especially when passing. Our PG of the future? I don’t know... prove us wrong Ulis.

Jackson was supposed to wow me and he has at times but is a total rookie turnover machine most of the time. He reminds me a little of early Barboso with his out of control drives to the basket. Like all rookies we have to let him and the others age like fine wine and not expect too much too early. Trial by fire.

It’s been a long rebuilding and the Suns have been doormats for awhile now. They are definitely improving individually and as a team.

We still need a real PG to be able to take it to the next level.

Wow. I just finished watching the game. It looked like a sure loss and I was all ready to come on here and say that we all witnessed the beginning of the end when we couldn't even beat the worst team in the league on our home court and then the miracle finish happened with highlights galore from mostly Booker and Chriss with Warren keeping them afloat until the end. They shouldn't have put themselves in that position but you've got to be encouraged by the way they never give up. It was amazing watching Booker while he stayed as calm as a cucumber down the stretch when it looked like it was all but over. He just kept plugging away and then hit the dagger 3 and then all his last FTs to ice the game followed by another highlight Chriss block to end the game. Like I said, wow.

That's 4 in a row now. This was his best yet with two signature blocks as well as a couple of timely threes down the stretch.
