What would you guys say is the ranking from best-to-worst of our many SFs right now? We've got TJ Warren, Josh Jackson, Mikal Bridges, and Kelly Oubre. Who do you consider best, second-best, etc.?

Wow, that’s tough...they all do different things...I’d probably go Warren-Oubre-Bridges-Jackson though right now. Jackson does more than Bridges, but the inconsistent/inefficient offense drops him down a bit

Nuggets made a small run at the end of the half and the refs aren't helping the cause. Still, one of the best halves we've played. I thought Melton was solid again. Oubre, Okobo and Holmes gave us a big spark off the bench. I felt like JJ and Bridges kind of set the tone early on for us. Ayton's been himself, solid as usual.

We're using our speed and hustle to counter their size inside with Milsap and Jokic. The wings are collapsing hard and getting some blocks and strips down low.

Tough question. Warren is the most impactful now probably, but I think Mikal is most important long-term. Oubre could be better than all of them.

JJ is feast-or-famine, but when he’s feasting the Suns seem to play at a much higher level.

I can't rank the wings. It's really hard for me because they all do different things really well and I want to keep them all and get them a PG to put it all together.

Jackson is the best ballhandler and has a ton of defensive potential. His offense is getting better as well. Bridges seems like he can be a top notch 3 and D guy but might need a player setting him up in order to get the most out of him. Oubre has some Matrix in him as he's an energetic, effortless athlete whose overall offense is a lot better than I expected. TJ is the best pure scorer of the group but falls behind athletically and defensively.

Ayton and Jokic both have 9/7/1 block at halftime on subpar shooting.

Feels like Mike Malone has an unlimited supply of timeouts everytime we play these guys. His look of disgust when he calls one is always entertaining.

Nuggets making a run here with 3s and FTs. Our offense is stalling a bit with the 2nd unit, going to be interesting to see how we respond here.

Suns end the quarter well with Oubre banking a 3 to end it. Just one of those nights for us so far. Nuggets definitely aren't out of it, we just gotta keep up the energy and withstand one more run or two.

Are you kidding me?! With that Oubre banked three to end the third quarter? Suns up 81-69 after three. Nuggets awake now. Cut into that halftime lead a bit. Let’s take this!

Millsap with the huge flop to get the call. Josh played great D on the play
