Might be an understated aspect of this team but I really appreciate our consistency in the Turnover n Free Throw rankings

Yep, I also saw that Simmons missed more free throws in those games than Nash did in his entire playoff career combined.

Yep, Nash was 396 out of 440 (.900) for his playoff career.

Lots of stuff I haven't gotten to read recently but I gladly skipped a McD article and then a Watson one I saw and honestly felt it was a tad ridiculous how folks trying to give them any credit.....

Well here's Book so I might take back maybe a lil of that sentiment. Truth is say what you like about his coaching but it is well known that the assistant coaches/player development guys really have a bond with the players

Great article on Coach:

Other than messing up his hat quote. The writer must have flunked math.

I liked Earl at the time as many here will remember. He may not have been a great coach but he was a big part of instilling and believing in greatness for Book.

The 70 point game probably never happens without Earl and while a lot of people complained about it at the time, it adds to Book’s legend.

Watson was perfectly fine as a person…he just wasn’t a good coach

Monty needs to write a book with all of his Montyisms.

I enjoy seeing Booker wear all these shirts I had as a 10 year old.

Speaking of career playoffs free throw shooting, Devin Booker is 4th all time in FT% among players with 100+ attempts (.920 FT%).

Two weeks from tonight, we will either be NBA champions or we will have experienced the most devastating heartbreak yet as Suns fans.

Thanks for the articles, Shel. Good reading right before tonight's game.
Great stuff. Might need some help from our resident ESPN insider for that last one.
Oh I see your game 'Bone.

First you buy $5,000 game tickets thinking you're billy big balls, then you don't acknowledge the little guy doing you a favour, now you're just expecting the little guy to be at your beck and call?

You've changed, bro.

Don’t even! I have a feeling it will be less than two weeks and I think you’re going to like the way we look. I Guaran… Oh, no you don’t, Bone!

Well the next time the Suns are in the finals, we're not locked down, and I'm not cash-broke from taking a virtual 2 year career break, I'm coming to Phoenix for some games and you can buy me a beer :)
