Book taking us home

[Flagrant Fowl]

Jalen Green not absolute dog water for two games in a row. Giving me hope...

[Wally_West]

I love this team

[Split T]

Book-Green-Grayson-Brooks-Williams

Colin-Goodwin-Royce-Highsmith-Fleming-Oso


That’s the rotation when everyone is healthy.


I think you can make the case that Fleming could start due to his size and defensive activity.

I don’t know who I’d take out, but I’d start Goodwin or Fleming…probably Grayson.

[Wally_West]

This is a good win

Things are looking a lot more positive than it did in the offseason. They picked up some good pieces - Goodwin, Fleming, Maluach, Brooks, Williams and Green to go with veterans Booker, Allen and O'Neal and improving young players like Oso and Gillespie.

Dunn has been disappointing and needs to show some improvement if he expects to get regular minutes. Especially with players like Maluach, Fleming, Highsmith, Coffey and Bouyea fighting for time.

How we feeling now? Some of y’all were crashing out when we went 1-3 with all our guards hurt…4-2 since then. Lakers keep winning, so still in 7th, but we seem to be locking at least 7th up…Lakers have a rough schedule down the stretch, so still a chance to catch them.

[Mori Chu]

What an impressive win. We have had a real rough patch lately and not so many wins to make us proud of our guys, but this one was a great one. Book led us with 30 (and 10 assists!), followed by Jalen Green and Gillespie with 24 each. Green has put together two genuinely positive contributions in a row, hopefully he's getting his legs back and can keep it up.

Fleming was absolutely awesome tonight. This was his breakout NBA game. 16 points on 6-8 shooting (4-6 from 3), 2 reb. And he hustled and played smart and didn't hurt us out there. He was great the whole game, loved what I saw from him. Really excited if this is the player he is becoming. I think he can do it.

ManMan also had a good game: 4 points, 9 big rebounds, 2 blocks. He had a few nice plays like a cut and finish off a Booker pass, and he was pesky on several possessions. He had the 9 rebounds but I thought he tipped several other balls to teammates; his length made a big impact. This has to be the best game of the season for our "rookie class" combined.

The only guy who I wasn't too impressed with tonight was Royce O'Neale, but oh well, I can tolerate that on a night like this one. We had only 6 turnovers as a team tonight (compared to 24 assists); wow. Great team basketball.

It is great to beat the Hornets right now; they were as hot as any team in the NBA and I think they'd won their last 10 games in a row or something like that. I thought we did better at closing out on shooters after a rough start. Kon Kneuppel ends up just 2-8 from 3.

Kinda crazy how deep we are…4 of our top 8 guys were out tonight and it didn’t feel like we had to reach to the end of the bench at all.

I can't afford to keep my streak going of betting $50
On the opposing team lol.

WOW. If this is not clear to Ott to give FLEMINGore of the 3/4 spot minutes, then nothing will. He needs to be playing 20-25 mpg. Man Man I thought was solid in his time as well giving me hope.


IMO

CG
Book
Brooks
Fleming
Williams

Is our best lineup.

[BKinSJC]

RASHEER ARMANI FLEMING!

Just use the right middle name. It's TyLee.

He’s just trying to say that Flemming is Booker …

[Kryptonic]

Definitely an “L”….

If anyone would like to help saucy, I’m setting up a gofundme lol jk

Thank you for your service lol

[Superbone]

Yeah these guys seem legit now
Shoot a ridiculous amount of 3s and Diabate/Kalkbrenner do quite well defending the rim

Need to bring our "A" game

And bring their "A" game, they did. Great win tonight. This is what we imagined with Jalen Green joining Devin Booker. The one-two punch tonight was nice. And great defense throughout. Even Man Man getting in on the action. And Highsmith was a very solid pickup. Very good defender. I enjoyed tonight's win very much.

[Superbone]

DefiniteLy

Oh yea of little faith.

[Superbone]

Brandon Miller is a fucking killer out there

That didn't age well.

[Superbone]

Well I bet 50 on the Hornets with the Allen news so here we go

Gonna be a costly season for you, bud. But keep it up!

[Superbone]

Hearing K-Ray say all his catch phrases on the Cock moves me. If he is doing the Cock broadcast, who’s on Suns’ broadcast with EJ? That bitch Tommy Leander?

Yeah, I was surprised to see Kevin Ray on the national broadcast. He did well switching into non-homer mode. There was no Suns' broadcast on this night.

[Superbone]

Well I bet 50 on the Hornets with the Allen news so here we go

Just a cheeky tenner myself

Keep 'em coming, guys.
