Missed all but the last minute, but looks like Knight had his best game as a Sun. Good to see.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

OKC is trailing at home to the sixers right now in the 3rd...Its the NBA, there is no such thing as an EASY W.

Yeah, I guess that is the state of the league these days. I miss SSOL when every other night we'd blow a team out by 20.
Go Suns!

Nice hustle play.

Tobias Harris does nothing for this team defensively next year. I don't want us to blow our wad on him as a FA.
Jimmy Butler or bust. S&T Knight. Trade Tucker give his minutes to Warren. Play Archie.
You're crazy if you wanna trade away Knight and keep Bledsoe.

A tale of 2 halves...Suns are going to have to string together some wins for me to be a believer again but they held on to tbis one and thats a start albeit ugly. Wouldn't mind having Dedmon as a backup. He makes stuoid fouls but rebounds the hell out of the ball.

Yeah, that was quite the second half after the scoreless first.

Yeah, I don't know if I've ever seen a player pluck an inbounds pass out of the air at such close quarters before like that. Especially, with the game on the line.

Those were the days. I remember the Heat's first championship year when we absolutely demolished them at AWA.

Am I? Hmmm. I don't see much of a PG in Knight & I think we would function better with a 3&D type at the 2. I don't think you have to worry tho. We are in for the long haul with BK. Tonight is the first time I've been impressed at all. The previous games I've seen a guy that makes poor basketball decisions & can't remotely stay in front of his man. His shot looks pretty but he doesn't seem efficient at scoring the ball. I just think we can do better than committing big money to this backcourt.

Also if I hear McDonough or Babby say "he was almost an All-Star in the East" one more time I'm going to lose it. That means nothing.
Go Suns!

Kieff comes through again with the clutch 20 foot jumper from the top of the key.

I know this is stupid, but it should be "Keef" not "Keiff." I know the latter is literally the last 5 letters of his name, but when he writes his nickname, it is the former.

But to avoid that, let's just go with MrA for short.

I hate how "Mook" has to rhyme with "book" rather than "fluke." That's just a bad nickname.

You should just be focusing on SUH right now. Haha
