I think if we keep this same energy, we’ll win…

[Wally_West]

*sigh*

[Wally_West]

Wtf is happening

[Wally_West]

Shamet fails to rotate which leads to a huge Morris 3.

This guy fuckin sucks

[INFORMER]

Booker still struggling.

[djy2j]

Awful quarter for everyone on the Suns not named Okogie.

[JeremyG]

Booker 5-19, 1-8 from 3, only 1 FTA. 12 points in 29 minutes.

[djy2j]

Booker still struggling.

Missed 10 straight shots. Yeesh.

[JeremyG]

Why is Monty still playing Bridges, Booker, and Paul???

[Split T]

Leave the rim crooked, Book finally made it on the crooked rim haha

[djy2j]

Delay in game due to the rim being bent from all the 2nd half Suns bricks (probably)

[Wally_West]

Finally a W god damn

[djy2j]

Nice win. Kinda. Shamet with a brutal 1-7 performance. Booker 6-22 not much better.

I'm afraid the confidence they built in the first half was taken away in that terrible 2nd half.

Next up the Pels (again) who have lost 2 in a row and will probably be playing like it's their Super Bowl again.

[Superbone]

That’s what you call the Shabazz effect. I don’t care how short handed they were. Good to get off the schneid.

Nice double double for Landale plus a couple assists and blocks. He even hit a three. What a nice pick up he’s been.

[ShelC]

CP looked quick on the offensive end, seemed to be getting rhythm back and I like that he's looking for his shot a bit more even on the misses. Book's still off, he's nowhere near the zone he was in earlier in the season. Not as much confidence for whatever reason.

Mikal was great but still too many minutes. Okogie's making "wow" plays every game now. Still not sure I trust him fully with a rotation spot, but he impacts the game whenever he's in. I like that Monty's playing both Biz and Landale, using them differently but keeping them engaged rather than sitting one.

Without Ayton, he has no choice.

Ya I thought the same. I feel ok about Biz and Jock, but I’d love to be in a position to not have to play either. I don’t think we can trust them in the playoffs. Biz is a situational defensive option that needs a a better version than we’re getting CP3 to be useful on offense. Jock is a nice offensive player, but he will get torched on D in the playoffs and just end up fouling everyone.

The suns being connected to Jarred Vanderbilt is getting me too excited. He’s the perfect 4/5 for this team off the bench.

[INFORMER]

Vanderbilt should probably be our starting 4.
