Game Day: Suns (42-10) @ Da Bulls (33-20), Mon 2/7/22

It’s happened before, I’d still be a bit surprised, but it wouldn’t be a complete shock.

It's super concerning that we can't leave our end-of-the-bench guys in and count on them to hold a lead. Coach Monty is already somewhat leaning on the starters and core rotation guys too much to get wins at the expense of resting. If he gets completely let down when he tries to give our guys even 1-2 minutes break at the end of a game, he just won't take anybody out until the game is over, and that is going to add up.

Guys I don’t think this was the problem last night. Neither team was trying, The bulls just hit 4 straight shots and got bailed out with 2 fouls. At no point was the game in question. You don’t bring the end of the bench in if you need to hold a lead, you being them in when the game is already over.

The 'asshole' comment from Book makes me love him even more.

It is in one of the videos above in Shel's post-game wrap up.

Book says we have some 'assholes' on the team that take it personally when fans chirp at them, and like to show them. He was referring to himself first and foremost. It was great.

Thanks, got off to a slow start today and haven't had a chance to review them yet. Looking forward to checking that out though.

Probably worth pointing out that these are literally the end of bench guys. Usually when we pull the starters we have Payne and Shamet in who can actually generate offense. When your back court is Payton and Jackson things will be different as there is not a single bucket getter on the floor.
