Sounds like I might have to watch the league pass replay, beating the Spurs is great.

How badly could the Sixers use a guy like Bridges...
In fairness, the guy they traded him for hasn’t played yet due to injury.

So I guess we either lose by 20 or win by 20? Lol.

I really love what I am hearing out of Crawford in this post-game interview.

Good result.. No ariza and 6 mins of Ryno...washed up stiffs are not what this team needs.. Starting line up tonight should hold until we replace Canaan.. But gotta give him props tonight...

I think the Thunder are going to take us lightly on Saturday. Hopefully the Suns can capitalize.

I'm here for 3J Warren. More time for Bridges. Less playmaking from Booker. The career high in assists was pleasant but the 6 first half turnovers were too much. Glad to see us win.

I'm really glad to see a win. It was huge to see Ayton start off well and play with aggressiveness which helped with the win. It was obviously frustrating to see Booker play as sloppy as he did, and he doesn't look quite right. He could be still suffering from something. He's looking slow and missing his explosiveness, and it wasn't like he was a freak athlete to begin with.
I think the key was Bridges. When he played, the team played well. I didn't get Igor's lineup he used to start the 2nd quarter. It made no sense and it was like he was trying to let the Spurs back in the game. Also, he didn't play Bridges at all in the 2nd, which was perplexing to me. Seriously, WTF is he doing?
I love how well Warren is playing. I remember Igor's press conference when he was hired and him talking to TJ afterwards. It really looks like TJ took to heart what he told him(At least that's how I'm thinking of it)

Wow the Suns kicked the Spurs azz. They deserved it. Pop taking us so lightly that he thought he could rest a couple of guys and still get the win. FAIL. I have had trouble getting the games to record automatically and missed most of the first quarter. They still have a lot of work to do.
Teams have decided to clamp on Booker like they have done to stars of teams for ages. Booker has to figure out how to make them pay. It forces him to pass the ball and that is something he will have to work on. 12 assists says he was doing something right.
TJ Warren. TJ has come out smoking hot this season. His 3pt shooting was his only offensive weakness. Not anymore. He is lethal from anywhere on the court now.
Ayton did come out more aggressive. The liked the emotion after his one dunk. Then of course on replay he was smacked in the face on the dunk and that probably had something to do with the emotion. His rookie double double streak is still going at 9. He had his way with Aldridge.
I totally expected them to hit the fourth quarter and fold like a wet tortilla. They started out with a totally careless turnover and my heart sank. Here we go again. They didn’t fold and more than held on and it felt good dammit!
They got good play from a lot of guys. I know they will probably get full of themselves and stink up the hoint next game so I am going to enjoy this small moral victory, especially since it was against the Spurs holding back.

What a fun game to be at tonight! Honestly, I've been thinking about it since the beginning of this season, but I think that Warren should be lumped in with Booker and Ayton with guys who are practically untouchable on this team. The improvement from 3 has been incredible. He reminds me so much of Rip Hamilton in his prime, scoring off of cuts and playing decent defense. I just think he's a guy that can be your 3rd or 4th option on a championship team.
It would take a heck of a player to warrant trading TJ at this point.

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. For one night, it was fun to be a Suns' fan again! Let's build on this.
