Kaminsky is just killing them.

I would have just given that $5 million to Richaun Holmes rather than signing a shooter who can't shoot.

We had no business winning this game. And it would all be on Monty. Just a really poor job with rotations last few games

Good to see Booker bring his "A" game.
Rest of the team offensively was out of sync for much of the game.
Okobo and T. Johnson 3-17 from the field. Oof.

I don’t understand the “we have injuries so no expectations!” crowd. You can still play the right way and play the right guys.

It doesn’t matter. We were still the better team. This should have been a 15 point win. It’s obvious out there as soon as Frank TJ and Saric check in we lose all momentum, yet Monty isn’t making any changes.Cap wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 5:19 pmEspecially down Ayton, Baynes and Rubio.The Bobster wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 5:18 pmA win is a win through.

Booker would have had a triple double if somebody else on the floor could shoot.
Saric, Kaminsky, C. Johnson, and Bridges: 8-34. Double Oof.

With Rubio, the offense runs like a Porsche.
Without him, it sputters like an old Yugo.

Suns couldn't shoot well from the field, but did convert 24-26 free throws.

We were -18 with Kaminsky.
So no, I don’t accept that “Hooray! We didn’t lose by 30!” No. We’re a better team than that. Even without the 3 guys.

Suns won. Beat a possible playoff team on the road.
It wasn't artful, but the effort was good.
Drink a cold one and enjoy the "W"
