Haven’t been able to watch many games these past few weeks due to work so this was pretty fun even though I’m running on fumes at this point. This team when healthy and motivated is a playoff team but obviously that ship has sailed but I’m happy with the progress and hope for best this offseason.

Suns starting front line: 28-46 FGs, 13-22 on 3s, 29 rebs.

Nine freaking 3s for Baynes. That's crazy. More than Jordan ever made, more than Reggie Miller ever made, more than a bunch of all-timers. Tied for the most in Suns history by a player, I believe. The league is weird now.

Just got home from a gig... Is that stat line from Baynes real?

Boy, did we need that. It felt like we might never win again for a bit there. 25 wins. The most in Booker's career thus far. 5 to go, baby!

We'd be right in the playoff hunt if Aron Baynes could just hit 9 threes every game. It's so simple.

How was bridges. Having some wifi issues so can’t watch a replay yet. His stay looked decent. Is he being any more assertive on offense at all?
Re: Game Day: Trailblazers (28-35) @ Suns (24-38), Fri 3/6/20
Bridges played very well, quiet in the 1st qtr but knocked down some 3s, got out in transition a bunch and had some nice drives to the basket. You can tell he's worked on his in-between game because he's looking more comfortable with his offense off the dribble. And the defense was there as always.
In general, it felt like we just played faster and more decisively. Too often our offense feels slow and predictable despite us apparently being top 10 in pace.

Baynes with the Suns 3pt record. That’s awesome!

That was unbelievable. I didn't remember that it was Dame guarding him.

It's hard to put much stock into it. Baynes isn't young, and the season is already over. It's going to take a lot (or it should take a lot) for these guys to win a spot on this team next year.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Suns probably gambled that Whiteside would not come out and guard Baynes on the perimeter.
Good gamble, given that Whiteside is more a classic low-post center offensively and defensively.
Knowing he was free to fire, Baynes did so at will and with confidence.
But, yeah, expect this to be the exception, not the rule.
Of Baynes, Saric and Kaminsky, I might seem them bringing Dario back.
Although not particularly athletic, he's a smart player and finds ways to contribute.
It would be helpful for the Suns to get more athletic in the frontcourt, though.
