Really though, I hope both Durant and Dunn play. Suns need wins, especially versus teams directly above them in the standings. They've already lost one to Minnesota. They should try to win the tiebreaker in case they need it.

Giving up too much inside. TWolves can't shoot it but we can't keep them out of the paint.

Just got to the end of the 1st quarter. We're playing ... well? Book seems on fire? KD is playing smart and within himself? Beal looks good off the bench? Dunn is HIM (not J**** B****r)?

It generally feels like this team is starting to turn a corner but idk, I’m not sure if I’m ready to believe just yet….

Am I ready to be hurt?

They’re playing much better, but still don’t think they are actually good…they are a solid 5-6 seed level team and are playing like it.

NAW with a couple of 3s to keep it close. They've been closing out well on our 3s in the half so things are getting a little choppy.

Richards is (understandably) having a hard time against Gobert. That's fine, but imo he shouldn't force it and should play within himself rather than trying to "go at" Gobert.

I think the 2 possessions Richards went at Gobert were just good defense was the Wolves where he was forced into those shots. They denied Book and we had trouble freeing someone else up. Richards otherwise has moved well without the ball getting open for dunks. It's just refreshing having a catch and dunk big in the paint.

Wolves are fighting and started hitting their 3s which closed the gap a bit. Randle's giving us a hard time as we don't have a good matchup for him. Ithink Royce has been on him most of the time and he's just too small. Dunn looks good, not sure why Bud won't use him more. Beal's looked good too and is picking his spots well.

You’re not wrong, but they looked like bottom 5 team for such a huge chunk of the season, seeing this is very encouraging, makes me almost feel optimistic that they can look even better by the season end, like better than a 5 or 6th seed?

Like I said, I’m not sure I’m ready to believe that just yet, but my heart definitely wants to haha.

I hear ya…makes me want to trade for Jimmy even more…he doesn’t have to take us from 11 seed to 2 seed…just 5 seed to 2 seed
