Suns are 121-35 since the start of the bubble.
That's a 64-18 pace over 82 games.
Yet no one saw this coming? smh
Shout out to Matt Moore. I told you to not bet the under.

3 games left I really want…Memphis on Friday to ensure we don’t have a losing record against any team and to pay them back for winning on that Morant travel…. The Clippers game next week because I don’t want them getting confidence for a potential 1st round matchup and they also beat us once, can’t let them win twice this year. It would also tie us for the most road wins ever, assuming we get the grizzlies and thunder in our next two. Last one is the Jazz game…need to pay them back and set the all time road wins record…also I’ll be at the game. Get those 3 and I’m almost certain we go into the final Kings game at 67-14…start Iffe in that game for all I care, just make sure Bridges keeps his iron man streak.
Can't leave off the Lakers, no matter what their record is.

Book is a career .456 and .356 shooter, but against Golden State, he is at .398 and .298. This year alone he is at .286 and .200 against them.
That doesn’t make feel good about a potential 7 game series…
Idk, I think both Book and Ayton figure it out pretty quick in a 7 game series. I don't think either play like last night for a whole series. The Warriors played Book a little different than every other team. When they brought in GPJr, they played Book with a box and 1. When he drove, they always brought someone over right away. More off ball movement in the offense and less iso play fixes this, imo. I don't think that Monty was going to show his whole game plan for a game that didn't matter.

The numbers don't lie, as much as I'd like to believe the bad games are just an aberration and the Ws aren't doing much to affect him. Have to think he'd figure it out and break out during a playoff series.

This. I'm not too worried about it.

I feel like I should make this the sound notification for a new email or something. Not because it is fitting, but because it would let me hear it a couple hundred times a day and make me smile each time.

Yeah, that cartoon sound effect at the end... You don't expect to hear this kind of stuff from a "horrible human being".

I have faith in him and the team to figure it out--it is just very concerning.
The good news is that despite his poor play against them, we have a .500 record against Golden State since the 18-19 season (we lost every game Book played against GSW before that season).
The only team that Book consistently plays worse against than GSW is the Clippers, but we saw how he played during the WCF last year.

Just watched NBA Today on ESPN. They showed footage of the Suns working out after the win against the Warriors.
These guys are dedicated.

That whole working out after a game is new to me. Didn't know that was a thing. Apparently it helps in recovery.

Dennis Rodman lifted weights for an hour or more after Bulls' games.

That was after doing an hour of breakneck speed on an excercise bike. The Worm had more energy then any other player in NBA history.
