Diallo's arms and legs would have to fall off before I put Kaminsky back in for him.
Yep.

You haven't seen me play.

I would have just given that $5 million to Richaun Holmes rather than signing a shooter who can't shoot.

We had no business winning this game. And it would all be on Monty. Just a really poor job with rotations last few games

A win is a win through. I'll take this over any "moral victory".

Especially down Ayton, Baynes and Rubio.

Good to see Booker bring his "A" game.
Rest of the team offensively was out of sync for much of the game.

Okobo and T. Johnson 3-17 from the field. Oof.

It doesn’t matter. We were still the better team. This should have been a 15 point win. It’s obvious out there as soon as Frank TJ and Saric check in we lose all momentum, yet Monty isn’t making any changes.

I don’t understand the “we have injuries so no expectations!” crowd. You can still play the right way and play the right guys.

Booker would have had a triple double if somebody else on the floor could shoot.
Saric, Kaminsky, C. Johnson, and Bridges: 8-34. Double Oof.

With Rubio, the offense runs like a Porsche.

Without him, it sputters like an old Yugo.

Suns couldn't shoot well from the field, but did convert 24-26 free throws.

And the doggies were 10-17. That’s the difference in the game right there.

We were +20 with Okobo on the floor. +11 with bridges and +9 with Diallo.

We were -18 with Kaminsky.

So no, I don’t accept that “Hooray! We didn’t lose by 30!” No. We’re a better team than that. Even without the 3 guys.

Suns won. Beat a possible playoff team on the road.
It wasn't artful, but the effort was good.
Drink a cold one and enjoy the "W"
