I was out of town for several days and had to catch up on the last two games. The Suns winning 7 in a row is great. Booker winning player of the week was earned. I guess there is a reason this entire team is built around him. The part that stands out for me in these wins is the bench. They are really starting to come together and establish their roles. Various people have been in and out of the lineup and it’s next man up mentality. All the new guys I wasn’t very impressed with in the beginning are starting to impress me.

Allen was labeled as a trouble making dirty player when he joined the team. I haven’t seen any of the dirty play or attitude from him. He has been one of the best players on the team. Biggest surprise player for me.

I was going to go down the list but, I will just say that Vogel has them all playing together and well. So many new players and coaching staff to start the season along with a rotating injury pool made the start a little iffy. They seem to be figuring out the system and their roles now and it’s paying off with wins despite the injuries. Having one or two stars missing has only given more playing time for the other guys early in the season, which is a good thing.

I remember years ago when Booker was forced to play PG and it seemed like a desperate move. It was a good thing for his development and now it’s paying dividends. Having a couple of stars out early is a good thing for our development as a team imo.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

I think a lot of that reputation is from his time at Duke. He’s had a couple of incidents in the NBA, but it’s not like he does it all the time.

Does BR realize EG is on a vet min deal? How are you overrated on a minimum deal?

Of course he ends it with:
One of the best value signings of the offseason will continue to look to silence the doubters and be a key contributor on a top-shelf title contender.

Former Suns center Deandre Ayton was also mentioned as one of the most overrated players in the game.
Which is weird based on the article title and the last thing will piss off one of our posters and belongs in another thread.

Eric Gordon is not overrated. :lol:

I think he's sometimes asked or tries to do more that he's capable of at this stage in his career, but he's not overrated at all.

I know some of us will have eyes on Minny v. OKC tonight, but also check out the Brooklyn v. Raptors game because the Suns will be playing in Toronto tomorrow.

I'm interested in a lot of games tonight…I know a lot don’t care about the in-season tourney but I do. East has a lot of spots still up for grabs. But this is suns news so I won’t go into that…

Little out for personal reasons tomorrow. Hopefully we get KD/Allen back. And hopefully it’s happy personal reasons for Little and not the sad kind.

Toronto is pretty buns. Should be a game where we can rest KD as long as Grayson is available with Little out.
Go Suns!

Toronto is very up and down. They're very impatient on offense, so preventing the easy second chance points is a key to beating them. Containing Schroeder is also hugely important.

I hope KD plays because the Suns are losing a lot of size to defend the Raptors wings with Little out.

Raps aren't deep but have a lot of long wings in the starting lineup. Not having KD, Allen and Nas would definitely hurt.

100% Espo created that entire production from concept to execution. I know because it has corny written all over it.

Yeah ngl I watch only few seconds and couldn’t finish. Just not a fan of Espo. He’s seems like nice guy and all but he’s so damn cringy.

It was a funny idea but I agree that Espo kind of ruined it.

Yeah, not an Espo fan. Some of the worst and cringiest basketball takes I've heard have come from him.
