Suns up 17, everything working on both sides of the ball. Defense is really good, Oso is playing well inside and grabbing a ton of rebounds. Still playing small with Monte, Beal, Grayson, JO and Oso but getting out and running, Beal and JO getting to the basket and Grayson knocking down 3s. A lot of energy with this group. Taking care of business so far.

3pt shots have gone ice cold.

[Wally_West]

Feel like we are sleep walking. No urgency but still up 9.

[Wally_West]

Beal feeling that shit

[Wally_West]

That inbounds steal was inexcusable. Smh lol

[The Bobster]

Beal and Book got hot just when they needed them to and they took over the 4th quarter.

[Wally_West]

This Booker looks like he could easily be a potential candidate for an all-star replacement.

[The Bobster]

Of course the Suns desperately trying to play another close game.....

[Wally_West]

*sigh*

[The Bobster]

In 47 minutes Pumlee and Ighodaro combined for 21 points (7/12 FG), 26 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Mr Glass Beal tore his entire body and will be out for 4 life times

[Wally_West]

No KD, No Nurk, No Beal…that Kings game tomorrow gonna be a fat loss.

[Mori Chu]

Nice game for Book. I thought Monte Morris and Oso also have us good minutes. And Dunn was great as is becoming the norm.

Fun game! Lots of suns fans there tonight…I was wondering why we never saw Beal come back…looked like he left the court completely fine…hopefully he’s ok.

This Booker looks like he could easily be a potential candidate for an all-star replacement.

indeed.
credit where credit is due. Booker came through tonight

Beal also stepped up.

Plumlee was better than usual, but to have a shot in the playoffs, he's got to be our 3rd option at center, not 2nd.

[Split T]

LOL I forgot that we are already beginning the "mid" season tournament.

To be fair, I think it’s the “in” season tournament, not mid haha.

Good solid win. We were in control pretty much all game. Wish we could've pulled away and really blown them out but can't be greedy. Booked looked great, Beal had one of his best all around games since coming here I thought. The offense was smooth and everyone looked to be on the same page. Allen found his shot, Oso and Dunn contributed well on both ends, Plumlee held down the 5spot, and Monte and Okogie played well in their minutes. Bud kind of had no choice but to go small for a lot of the game but it helped a lot with spacing and pace. Also went 10 deep so Book only saw 34 minutes and Beal was just under 30 which was nice to see.

It was the Jazz and they're obviously not a great team but the way we played with the spacing and ball movement, sometimes I think less is more. Less top talent, more roleplayers who play their part and do what they do well - Book/Beal can be the scorers, Allen/Royce/Dunn can shoot, hustle and play defense. Plumlee and Oso can focus on screening, interior defense and rebounding, Tyus and Monte can handle the ball and run offense. Just better balance with who does what. Obviously I'd rather have a Kevin Durant than not, but we need to figure out how to keep the flow/spacing going with him out there while Book and Beal can still cook and the roleplayers can get their minutes and play off the stars.

Well, it goes to KRay also saying Collier was on the floor when he wasn't too. I noticed a few mess ups by those two.
