No way we lose to a team that was down 50 to the Mavs at half time. Happy birthday 'Bone, go Suns.

I know we're like a collective of sports abuse victims at this point, but face it, we're really fucking good.
That made me really laugh!

We are all brothers and sisters here. We sometimes fight but we're all Suns fans that want the best for our team. I enjoy talking Suns with everybody here even when I don't agree with them or we don't see eye to eye.

A win tonight would be huge! Let's GO SUNS!!!

I mentioned how Mikal 1st quarter 3s made me go wow
This is what I meant, basically all the Nuggets are back and only one other Sun up court with Mikal but he let's it fly and drains it.



I think it's fairly safe to say there's no going back to that guy with the hitch and lacking confidence. We should start seeing scrimmage or bubble Mikal as the player he's become and not just a very good few games he had.
Just my opinion
I love how EJ says, "Oh, geez."

Suns been riding high and are due for a let down. Clips and the Suns have a bit of recent history so I think we get the best version of them. Clips also looking to bounce back after their recent loss. Probably a close game until midway through the 4th where the clips pull away. I could also see this getting ugly early too.

Clips win this 114-105
I have this sinking feeling in me that this is similar to last year when we had the hot start and then cooled off significantly. But that is probably my inner long-term-suffering-Suns fan in me talking. This is a much better team than last year. As long as we have a close game, I'll be happy. But I'll take a Suns blowout too.

Last years hot start was buoyed by an unsustainable performance from Aron Baynes. This year we’re doing it on the back of defense. That seems more sustainable. I don’t think Bridges and Payne will keep shooting 3’s at 50%, but Booker and Paul should also get better offensively.

I bought the monthly 8 game pack from NBA.com for ~$12 (you have no idea how good this is; for the first time ever I can watch all Suns games and all Tottenham Hotspur games live and it only took me moving to Australia to get the latter - in England you can't watch all the English Premier League games, go figure).

Can't defend a 3 - they're going up from everywhere.

Ayton hesitates again and the commentators called him out for it.

Clips are playing tough defense. We'll need Ayton to be more offensive than usual with the Clips perimeter defenders limiting our guys.

Thought DA might've screwed that one up, but he seems to have found a rhythm that was lacking in the first 4 games.

Threes aren't falling and shoddy defensive play. :( :oops:
