Is Royce the best ball fake/pump fake and shoot a 3 guy in the league?

Yeah, let's give him some flowers as much as he is maligned around here. That and his inbounding are elite. Not to mention big shots like his big 3 last night in crunch time.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

I think a fun thing to watch will be whether Royce or Gillespie breaks the suns single season 3pt shots made record…both are currently on pace to do it…which brings up a fun trivia question…headed to the trivia thread now.

I was thinking more about that sequence with Grayson. Yes it is getting a lot of attention but I suspect it will quickly be forgotten. But I think it is on par with the Valley Oop, if not even greater. Of course there wasn't a direct score on the play but the skill, thought and wit that went it to that was...I can't even find a word to describe it properly.

It'll be forgotten because it's a regular season game in January. But it's a great play nonetheless and encapsulates this team and this season.

Was BS when they made the call because Royce didn't touch OG. But ball don't lie and he missed 2 of 3.

I wasn’t super fond of the Mark Williams acquisition and I still wish we hadn’t sent out two first rounders, but I’m super impressed with his attitude and general ability to stay healthy. And particularly amazed by his end to end speed. Feels like he’s always beating the opponent center down the court for an easy dunk at least once or twice a game.

Gritty win by the Suns.

I'm so proud of this team. They're playing with so much focus and desire. It's an absolute blessing to see. They're doing the little things to help a team win games.
