Collin, Grayson, and Goodwin in this one! Mark Williams was pretty good too, even if he let Clingan hit 3 3s to start the game.

Can’t say enough about Goodie! 16/10 with 5 steals. 5 offensive rebounds and hit his 3s. He’s so good
I was going to write this almost word for word. Oso deserves some love for his game too. +16 and a well rounded box score with some aggressive takes.

Goodwin is an absolute stud on defense. He deserves consideration for an All D team.

Grayson is just a really good basketball player - gives us much needed downhill creation in addition to his great 3 point shooting and is very underrated on defense.

Fun game.
Basically everyone but Booyea, Brooks and Ryan Bunnz had a good game

Very impressed after falling behind almost 20 without our two scorers

Skimmed through this one, especially the 1st half when we got down big. One of those fluky starts where the Blazers hit everything but eventually cooled down near the end of the half when we could cut down on the lead. Glad we kept our cool and just weathered that storm. I'd say it would've been atypical had we just given up and not fought back or been good enough to take advantage of their misses. Even tho we're a "new" team, we're not a young or inexperienced team and that makes a difference in games like this.

As always
Love to see Collin cooking but what made last night even more enjoyable is that I'm fairly certain someone ticked him off and he started talking ish to the whoever in black lol

His stoic nature is almost part of his identity at this point but I liked seeing him chirping. Even caught him getting on Mark in the 1st half when he seemed a little off his game

Nice come back win. When the Blazers were hitting every shot in that first quarter, I thought the game would be out of hand early. But, the Suns turned up the defensive screws and got back in the game.

Oh, and thank God for Collin Gillespie.👍

Not great, but we can nitpick a lot of guys like that.

Brooks stupidly fouled Cissoko on a box out when we had the rebound. Grayson let a ball go off his legs with seconds left. Royce missed 2 game clinching fts at the end. Oso had some pretty bad passes early on.

Sure but those guys do a lot more good than bad. They provide a lot more on a nightly basis. You take the good with the bad.

Bunnz is Bunnz because he mostly ass
