This Vogel parody account is kind of hit and miss (is it run by one of the PHNX guys?), but this tweet made me laugh.

GmSc of 30.1, if anybody’s wondering. Seventh-best game by a Sun this season. Booker has bettered it twice and Durant four times.

I know you've been having a tough time lately, but seeing us beat the shit out of the Lakers has to feel at least a little bit good, eh buddy? I'm always surprised how much a Suns upswing can lift my spirits. My wife said to me the other day, "I hope your Suns win tonight, because you're easier to be around." Hah.

[Shabazz]

Only caught the first half but it was nice seeing the team fully engaged for the most part. Kinda pissed I went to bed and missed the Beal eruption, but oh well. One thing that annoyed the hell out of me was Reggie continually making excuses for the Lakers, saying they've been injured and the travel has been tiring after the IST. Give me a break. The Suns have been one of the most injured teams in the league, and the Lakers travel to Vegas for the IST was basically nothing.

Yeah. That was ridiculous. It was like, the Lakers are bad because they had to travel and Rui Hachimura has been injured. Huh?

How is that allowed? Doesn’t it have to say “parody” in the name?

If you go to the account. He announces it at the top.

Yeah, I saw that, but I thought that Musk’s rule was that it has to be in the name.

That blue checkmark used to mean “This account is who it claims to be.” Now it means “This account pays $8.99 a month.” Not everybody is aware of the change. Definitely potential for confusion.

Most of the confused people aren’t very smart, but still…

Anytime the Suns beat the Lakers it’s a good day. The Suns were a failure. Lots of people were talking about how the experiment failed and it’s time to fire the coach and start trading away players. The TNT broadcasters were talking some shit about the Suns. They will never go anywhere without a true pg.

The game was on national tv. The Suns needed this win badly just for their own psyche and went out and took it decisively. It’s just one game but, on that night in front of the nation the Suns kicked the Lakers ass and we are all better for it.

Caught up with the full game today. The win flattered the Lakers to be fair. Garbage minutes almost the whole of the 4th to get some reps for the bench in. Grayson and Eric left many a wide open 3 off the board. KD was focused on Lebron and still got a nice return.
And Bradley seems to have shown up and stopped differing (after the first) and that bodes very well going forward.
Still some missed rotations, still some to’s from lack of reps but signs are good.
