Heart warming.

Best quotes from that video:

"I played horrible, huh"

"Daddy played bad"

"Didn't play the way I wanted to play"

DA's gonna be just fine folks.

The self-awareness is nice to see and encouraging. Him feeling down and Monty talking up him on the sideline too - shows he cares and knows what's expected of him.

What a rush!!!

I had to watch both games on delay because of work, but it has been awesome to see, we are, for a change, the team playing in control, the team executing, instead of playing "random" or "energy". What a difference a coach can make, mixing up motivation and instruction.

Again just the little things . Our bench guys just stay involved and encouraging . I was even thinking bout Frank, he got a bunch of interviews after Dario injury and I'm sure he thought he would play more.
I'm 100% sure he didn't pout y'day tho.

I want to win a championship while Al McCoy is calling a game more than for any other reason. After the last decade of basketball he had to put up with... sheesh.

This is how I feel exactly. I wouldn’t feel such a sense of urgency if it wasn’t for Al. Heck with this team we might be in the Finals for the next 5 years. But we need to win it this year for Al!

Oh, the portuguese narration is the best. Romulo Mendonça is the only one who make me watch the brazilian broadcast.
He says in the huddle "a seductive ball movement from Phoenix" and in the end "what insanityyy".
He's way too funny.

I think lots of people feel that way when their team finally gets there, but for almost everyone it is fleeting. We need to capitalize on this chance. We still have Sarver as an owner. :)

No way I don't feel a sense of urgency after about 50 years of being a diehard Suns fan. I was starting to wonder if it would ever happen in my lifetime and if I might have to rely on the miracle of modern medicine to live to 120. And in no way will it be fleeting for me. I will celebrate our first championship for a very long time.

The feeling of winning isn't fleeting. The time teams are actually good enough to compete for a championship year after year, are. I was saying that assuming we will be doing this every year for the next 5 years isn't likely, so we need to capitalize now.

Oh yeah, for sure. Us being there twice in 51 years makes that pretty obvious.

I am grateful for this year. The wheels could fall off the train after the playoffs. Players move. Players get hurt. Coaches get lured away. Stars get offers they can’t refuse someplace else. I am going to assume this is a once in a lifetime year and not assume they will be in the Finals for the next five years. One day at a time.

Haha I didn’t mean I’m assuming we’ll be in the Finals the next 5 years. I just meant that if we don’t win it all this year I won’t feel like it can’t happen another year. But yes you’ve gotta take advantage of the opportunity when you get it!

It seems like all the planets have to align perfectly to win a Championship.
