Yeah, going with Royce O'Neale today was a lot better.

I thought Jalen Bridges would get more playing time than the three minutes in garbage time.
Bud's three-guard lineup didn't phase Valanciunas and Sabonis ...

Oh, and by the way, Chris Paul started in all 82 games this year.

Bradley Beal played in 53...

Like a number of players this season, his role was probably never clearly defined.
Which is a major reason the Suns underachieved.

Wait! Bol sighting. He and Lee in the game to save the day!

Watching with morbid curiosity as the Suns JV takes on the Kings.
Bol has yet to get in the game, which provides a clue of his future with the Suns.
Suns overmatched in the pivot by Sabonis and Valanciunas. Oso is too slight, and Plumlee too slow.

Jones is an OK sixth-man/bench player combo guard who is careful with the ball and can hit threes. As others have noted, he's a cipher on defense. Management expecting him to become an ersatz Chris Paul or even Ricky Rubio was serious misjudgment, or panic move. It's like getting drunk at a bar ...

If the Suns were a horse, it would be shot and made into cheap glue ...

Early in second quarter: Allen, Beal and Gillespie are 0-12.

Rockets on pace for 140+ points.

At this pace, maybe 150.

Micic and Lee are playing, so you can tell without looking at the score the Suns are either way ahead, or way behind...

Great to see some things haven't changed.
Suns mailing it in, and Dillon Brooks is still a "tough-guy" douchebag.

Spoiler: show/hide

Celtics by 3OT

How do you win by 3 overtimes?

I think he's referring to 1976 ...

Want to believe, but ...

Re: trade for Middleton and Smart ...

Middleton is old and, more important, injury prone.
The Middleton of three-four years ago was solid, but he's a ghost of that player nowadays.

Smart also has been hurt the past two seasons. And notice how Boston got better after he left...

Cleveland gets back on track ...

Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst ...

Booker responded well to the uptempo game, with a +23 in 32 minutes and only one (1) turnover.

Monte Morris: 12 points in five minutes.

Toronto dfoesn't have a lot of NBA-level talent out there tonight.

True, but Suns have played undermanned teams this season and lost.

Early in fourth quarter, and Phoenix has a 35-point lead. When was the last time that happened ...?
