Last thing, my partners offered to buy me a jersey after the game, but it had to be a Jazz one. They had current players and former Jazz stars. Any guesses on who I went with? This was not easy as a Suns fan.
IIRC, you're an ASU guy, so not Markkanen.

I'd go Juzang, but I don't know if they'd sell those.

I'd pick Kessler, so I'll go with it.

I would have gone Hornacek had it been available.

Felt weird to get a current player (I would have gone Kessler) and I sure as hell wasn't wearing a Karl Malone jersey. Stockton's recent behavior ruled him out as well. They had those guys in the classic Jazz mountain-peak jersey and the white '92 All Star Game jersey, which were sick.

I went AK-47. I always liked him. Felt kind of punk rock. Also he's totally neutral as a Suns fan.
AK is a good choice. Glad you got to see a win!

Bench picked up the Suns tonight.
*Payne is getting his signature flip layup back.
*Biyombo reminding me of Mark West on a good night.
*TJ looks to be getting in the groove.
*Ross erratic at times, but hit money shots.
*Wainright bombing from distance.
They’re getting familiar with one another. Their shots are looking better and better. I hope Monty can keep them going once KD is back. These guys need to hang 30 ppg in the playoffs.
Payne Ross Warren and little bit of Craig is your shrunken bench mob
Come playoffs Payne, Ross, Warren, Craig are going to get all the run off the bench. My hope is with a staggered Book or KD these guys are going to get their ideal looks. They just got to defend.

Really good team win with the bench giving us a nice boost. Biz is playing with a lot of pop in the paint and TJ and TRoss are finding their shots. We should probably lean into their ability to create off the dribble for offense since that was an area of weakness for us before the trade. Both guys can step into a midrange shot if they're run off the line, both can bring the ball up off a rebound and use a screen to step right into a jumper; those things can keep a defense off balance. Ross' defense looks a lot better lately too IMO.

I like what Ish has become. Nothing fancy, but he's become a good defender and the corner 3 is pretty money. I think he's still carving out his niche, but he's getting better at being a mismatch for bigger players who have to step out to guard him while bring too big and strong for smaller guards/forwards.
