This is your bi-annual reminder that Kyle Lowry is annoying.
Is he a future Hall of Famer? The Heat announcer casually said he was.

That in and out 3 would’ve been the 28 Beal needed to win that bet for Bone
Yes…Yes, I know…

Grayson Allen. Protect him at all costs. We should go back through that trade thread lol, see how many people have changed their tune.
I imagine it’s a landslide in a redo.

Once you just embrace that he used be kind of a dick, and so far hasn’t done anything suspect for the Suns, it’s much easier to see how solid of a player he is, and an absolute competitor. He’s the kind of role player who can get hot and change the complexion of a game or series in the playoffs.

Plus this kind of content:

As a limited player you need to do what you need to do to help the team win.
And the "dick" phase was in college/ early in his career. Once he had a legit role the antics stopped a far as I could see.

Vogel said it, probably our best defensive game of the season. Heat were at the end of a long road trip and didn't have Jimmy but they always battle. We were flying around to the ball, really good rotations and switches that kept guys like Herro, Robinson and Lowry from getting going. Love and Jaquez had it going early but eventually cooled off. Grayson's shooting kept us in front all night. Really great shooting performance. Book and Beal carried the rest of the load with some really well rounded games. JO had a nice impact on things and he was needed because the Heat are smaller and run a bunch of wings.

It’s pretty impressive what Kevin Love is still able to do, too bad we still couldn’t get him last summer.

Yeah, I've always been a fan, all the way back to his fat Minnesota days.

Ya Love would be a really good piece for us…wish Miami was bad and needed to blow that team up so he could be a buyout candidate.

Nice win for the suddenly surging Suns. This was the game that made it abundantly clear, if it wasn't already, that we must absolutely re-sign Grayson Allen at all costs this offseason. With our Big <= 3, Allen, and Nurk, we have a really nice starting 5 to build around. Nine 3s! Insane. He was just on fire. And he's had an awesome season overall. Did you know he's averaging 45.7% on 3s this season?! Insane.

This was also a nice game for both Beal and Book. I like games where multiple guys from the Big <= 3 all play well together. It shows what we are capable of when things are rolling. I was glad to see Eubanks have a bit of a redemption game with 11 and 6 in 22 minutes. I hope Bol isn't hurt too badly. Was very disappointed to see KBD shoot 0-6; he did have 3 steals and play some nice defense, though. I do think he'll contribute something before the season is over, but so far, oof. And Okogie got his first extended look in a while. His shot is still ugly as sin, but he drew a lot of fouls and shot 7-8 on FTs tonight, an underrated skill of his. I think Okogie and Little (along with Beal) are some of our best guys at barreling into the lane and drawing contact/fouls.
