Let’s get Kelly some run while it doesn’t matter? Is he dressed?
He doesn't respect the grind.

I'm deeply unhappy with Ayton. Strike #2 in my book. I'm deeply impressed with Cam Payne. But also... Jevon Carter +26!
Two guys I wouldn't mind getting rid of: Ayton and Oubre

That's because the net barely moved!

Record after after 71 games -

2018-19 - 17-54
2019-20 - 32-39
Makes the Ayton suspension worse. Suns would have for sure have one of the lower seeds locked up.

Devin Booker is a superstar. Can’t change my mind. It’s true.

Embiid ruled out for tomorrow. Pels announced Ingram/Jrue/Zion are out...why are they not moving our game to that 7pm TNT slot? I won’t be able to watch otherwise

Proud of our guys. Another big win in the bubble; still undefeated at 6-0! Where's the SUNS WIN! video?!

Six Suns in double-figures.

Booker with 35-5-4 on 9-17 shooting, 14-14 FTs.

Great game for our starting frontcourt:
Saric with 16 and 9.
Cam Johnson with 18 points on 4-8 3pt shooting.
Bridges with 18 and 6 on 5-8 3pt shooting.

Our strong bench backcourt delivered again:
Payne had 14-6-5.
Carter had 8-5-5. What a nice duo filling the stat sheet. We have really found some chemistry between these two guys.

Ayton, well, it is what it is, but he did come back to have 10 points and 6 boards. Let the team talk to him and discipline him as they see fit. Let them impress upon him how important it is to be ready for every game. Then let's move on.

6-0 BABY! The dream is still alive.

I mean the truth is this Resting situation happens every year
It's funny how it seems much more magnified now as it's actually relevant to us lol

Come on now!
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Weird watching meaningful Suns games.

Ayton still needs to grow the **** up... but we can't win without him.

We're proving we can win without Oubre, however. In fact, Baynes is looking more valuable right now than Oubre in some ways. Look for the FO to look at offers this offseason involving him. We're still weak at PF. Saric seems like a better 6th man than starter.

Kaminsky's gone. You just can't keep him on the floor with his defense being so bad.

Cam Payne looks like the answer at back up PG. Carter's interesting as a back up SG, but he's not a good enough distributor. Still, bringing either or both of them back next season would be nice if it can be in the vet minimum range.

Funniest part is that the SUns are probably going to win out, and still not make it to the "play-in" game against Portland or Memphis. Which is pretty on brand for this franchise.

Carter is one of those guys who you know won't be lacking in effort.
If only we could expect the same from our generational center.

Ayton had the ball 1 foot from the hoop and passed it out...smh
I started to scream when he did it, but realized I would lose my voice if I kept screaming every time he does something anti-agressive.

Ayton is right at the rim and passes it out. Dude can be SO frustrating!
I heard a little bit of gas escape his vagina during the broadcast on that play.
I think we've filled our quota of "vagina" and "pussy" references today guys.
thank you

This (assumed) win will put them even with the Spurs, a half game behind the Blazers and a game behind the Grizzlies.
Actually puts them ahead of Spurs because we have played more games, and it goes by win%.

Is there not anyone on the Suns’ Staff in charge of making sure players get to their test on time??? Like WTF? Youre in a bubble you should know where everyone is at? No?
This is what I want to know as well. Even the league sending texts to players reminding them to get tested? Shouldn't they be getting tested around the same time every day? Honestly no excuse for this. He's a fucking child.
That guy was one of the layoffs...
