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.?
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
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 bitMarty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 8:10 pmWhat would you guys say is the ranking from best-to-worst of our many SFs right now?

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.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 8:10 pmWhat would you guys say is the ranking from best-to-worst of our many SFs right now?

JJ is feast-or-famine, but when he’s feasting the Suns seem to play at a much higher level.Xylus wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 8:15 pmTough question.

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.

Melton with a couple steals to get us off to a good start here in half number two

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.

Are you kidding me?! Suns up 60-47 at the half against the Western Conference leading Nuggets? Please, nobody wake them up.

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.

Richaun really has a nice face up dribble drive game

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.
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
Ayton has been dunking harder lately...I like that
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
Crazy...no booker, off night for warren and we’ve essentially been up double digits most the game on the 1 seed in the west
Re: Game Day: Nuggets (28-12) @ Suns (10-33), Sat 1/12/19
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!

TJ with the big 3, lead up to 15...would be nice for TJ to wake up and bring us home.

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