Royce, my man!
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

No reason to celebrate yet.

We know this team too well!
Aside from the micro-ball, I liked what I saw from the team in the clutch (so far), playing with poise except that 24 second violation. Patient, taking time off the clock, the way it should be done when you have a sizable lead late.

The Suns have infuriated me down the stretch and especially Tuesday. But had you told me this would be the outcome in the beginning of the year I’d def take it. Hats off to this team for proving people wrong. Also love eliminating all the dbags in the warriors. Green and Brooks got their revenge.

That 10-1 ticket I had on the suns to make the playoffs at the beginning of the year was an additional bonus haha

When do we start to have the conversation about trading both Booker and Green and building around Jordan Goodwin?

Over the course of the season this team deserved to be in the playoffs so I’m glad they make it (albeit not confident how they’ll go).
As for this game, it went about as we all expected going in - Green getting it started and Royce and Goodwin sealing it in the fourth! 😂

Devin 10-10 from the FT line. Not great shooting from the field but 8 assists and some decent defense.
Go Suns!

What if you have to choose between Goodwin and Gillespie?

I want to know why they didn't show a replay of the last foul Green made on Booker.

Nice win for our boys. Oklahoma City here we come.

Well, they (kinda) proved something tonight (against an old GS team that was out of gas). But they played with poise in a late game situation and built upon a lead.

I don't think Suns-OKC would be a sweep. If I had to guess, a six-game series. All I want is for a fighting playoff experience for the young guys -- including Green. If he's a playoff-type player, completely different story.

Trade Booker. Get assets. Build organically every year. But let's not worry about that -- we have a PLAYOFF SERIES ahead.

I really appreciated how the Suns re-asserted their season-long identity tonight. Some parts I'm not the biggest fan of -- such as micro-ball. But, it will have to be enough going in against OKC. The Suns match up better against them than any other team in the lower part of the bracket. Which isn't saying much because OKC outclasses everyone, of course.

I honestly think you go with Goodwin for what this team needs by Colin could end up having a better career. I hope we can keep them bothzz
