I remember one of them on a pass to the perimeter to TRoss, who looks lost out there on offense, but mostly on defense.

Offense is all Ross is good for, I believe.

Pretty amazing considering his horrible game against the Bulls (according to many if you read the game thread).

Dang I calculated his assists wrong…I divided them over 4 games, so he is 36/8/5 playing with Durant
Re: Suns News: Week 21 (3/6 - 3/12)
People seemed to forget that he was on a tear early in the year and had the Suns in 1st place before he went down with injury. And that was while the Suns were dealing with injuries from multiple contributors and starters. All of a sudden the narrative is that Devin Booker is all of a sudden good and thinks he can talk when he has KD on his team.

Highest scoring duo in their first 3 games since Wilt and random new players haha
Re: Suns News: Week 21 (3/6 - 3/12)
That's a crazy stat. You'd think with all the dynamic duos over the years, somebody would have those numbers beat. Lebron and Wade, or KD and Kyrie, KD and Curry, Curry and Klay, ... pretty amazing.

Wilt scored 158 points BY HIMSELF the first 3 games of the 1962-63 season, and 194 the first three games with Larese after he was traded to the Warriors.

FYI, Hightower went to Overbrook HS, and later to Kansas, as did Wilt.The Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 5:51 pmWilt scored 158 points BY HIMSELF the first 3 games of the 1962-63 season, and 194 the first three games with Larese after he was traded to the Warriors.

He skipped his senior year at Kansas to play pro ball in Spain, then played in the NBA and ABA.
Had a solid career in the ABA until injuries limited him.

So, Chamberlain in 61-62, would still be Top 3 even if paired with the mascot as his new teammate?? Mind blowing!!

Ha ha! I knew you would check me if one of them was still alive. However, that’s the running gag on Inside the NBA.

Re: Suns News: Week 21 (3/6 - 3/12)
Look at this dude
It obviously will be no secret that All the Others have to be taking loads of corner 3s every practice but it is cool to see how he's progressed from the start of the year
Similarly
Josh night was obviously rough but after torching the Bulls, he said he puts the work in and KD/ Book sang his praises so I think he gonna shake that off and be decent again next time out.
