There’s honestly no excuse not to sign Carmelo at this point, especially if Cam is hurt where he’s gonna miss multiple games.

I think he's fine? They said it was a leg cramp.

I will give a lot of credit to Coach Monty. CP3 was struggling and Dallas had a good game plan to take him out of the game. So Monty benched him, and we played better, and we won. It was the right move, but that was not an easy decision.

I still think we can be a good team without a good Chris Paul season. But it can only happen if Monty is willing to heavily reduce his minutes and teach the team not to just rely on him to run our offense. You have to empower guys like Payne and Shamet and our other bench bantha fodder guards and teach them to expect minutes and a role.

Nice story seeing Lee will us to a win, but we need to be better. Our bench is really bumpy. I like Landale a lot, and I think some guys like Craig will find their rhythm. And I wouldn't be surprised to see Dario find his stride later in the season. But overall we have a real lack of scoring, playmaking, athleticism, almost anything off the bench. I was envious watching all these interchangeable guys Dallas could bring in to throw at us. Wings who can shoot and score and defend, yes please.

Looks like early on Mikal has taken the rebounding responsibility.. led us with 11 rebounds

WELCOME TO THE VALLEY, DAMION LEE!

I'm honestly just glad to see this team fight again. The first half had me seriously worried that they'd completely lost their edge.

Frustrating so far but still have a long ways to go.

You had that right!

Y'all are too pessimistic. We will pull this one out.

I don't know when you said that but good call!

I’ve seen this movie before. I gave it zero stars.

We must be talking about a different movie then.

James Jones should be ashamed.

Oh?

Party is over. Time for a fast reboot. With traffic cone CP3, we’re not a playoff team. IDK what to say. Tell me I’m wrong, I want to believe otherwise.

Oh, ye of little faith.

I thought it was hard being a Cardinals fan this season.

It is.

Good news is we get a new owner, new GM, and new coach soon.

You’re getting close to an ignore

Seriously. It's getting old, man.

Nice comeback win. Clutch time Suns strike again. With Paul on the bench…

Awful first half. Nothing else to say.

Nope. Good thing it was a very good second half. Hopefully this team knows they have to play great defense from the jump going forward.

The bench is sooo bad…I’m ready for DWJ to get minutes already. I’m over Lee/Okogie/Craig…go get Melo at least.

You gave up a little soon there, bub.
