That stat from SVG is blowing my mind.

Insane.

Monty has built an offense that takes what the defense gives us…we just so happen to have a bunch of guys that are highly effective in the midrange and/or non-restricted paint range.

Yes, but to be actually bad at using the 3 most efficient shots in the NBA (not just mediocre, but actually bad!) and still be such a great offensively efficient team is just crazy.

[LazarusLong]

Interesting reading. Five best Suns teams (record at break).
Hope this hasn't been previously posted ...

Oh for sure, it’s very impressive. It’ll be interesting to see how that changes with Paul out.

[LazarusLong]

Without CP3 to prod him, will Ayton regress? That will be interesting to see how the big guy responds (or not).

[Split T]

Perfect opportunity to show he’s worthy of a max deal

[Superbone]

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. If we can learn to improve without Paul and then bring him back for the playoffs, watch out!

[Flagrant Fowl]

This is where I'm at as well. He needs to show that he's capable of carrying the offensive load for a stretch in every game.

Our other PGs know to look for Ayton, too. Payne has decent chemistry with Ayton and JaVale, and I suspect Payton could find him for some rolls or lobs, too.

Time for him to put on his "big boy pants" ....

Teal looks wack

[Superbone]

Why would you replace The Valley?! It’s becoming one of the most popular ever. You can’t even buy one.

I'd rather they keep their orange one than use that teal one. Yuck!

As for their main set, I would prefer an updated 1970s/80s uniform or 1990s uniform.

[bajanguy008]

Don't need to post the whole article cause CP3 is the other player praising Monty and we know where he stands.
This is cool to see

[The Bobster]

Let's hope this signifies the Suns becoming more of a destination team for players.

[ShelC]

Nothing earth shattering here but Jones talks about CP's injury
