First to 100 wins. Especially when it’s an 11 point lead with less than two minutes to play.

I think this is Ayton's best game of the year. He has played inside almost the entire game without taking a single midrange jumper. He has played good man and team D and his activity level has been high, making good things happen on the glass and earning the team extra possessions.

Melton-Booker-Bridges-Warren-Ayton is the best starting line-up of the season so far. Now if Ayton can just stay out of early foul trouble.

I'm really liking Bridges and Warren. Melton has been playing great defense too and he's not a complete liability on offense.

Somehow Evans had 17 rebounds and 11 assists per 36 minutes tonight.

Just watched that 11-0 run in the fourth. Best I've seen them play season.

Yup
This is exactly how it looks watching, we really been getting after it on D but offense was bogging down with the obvious lack of creators.
I got the Wolves Feed on the stream I watched and "this is what the Suns did to Dallas, they held them to ** percentage from 3 and that has been the key to this game" "right now we're only shooting ** tonight, look at this play and how well the Suns are rotating on D"
I promise u guys, these things were actually said about our Suns tonight

Igor has the team playing good D, they've tighten the screws for sure.
Guys like JJ, Bridges, and Melton have helped with disrupting the passing lanes.

It's really exciting and rewarding to watch the team steadily improve in all areas as the season progresses. Our defense looks waaaay better than it did when the season started. We're getting tons of deflections, guys are really active and communicative, Ayton's timing on shot-blocking is improving and he's altering shots in the paint as a result. Our starting lineup finally has that right mix of O (Booker, Warren, sometimes Ayton), and D (Bridges, Melton, sometimes Ayton). It appears that we're attacking the glass a lot more; I loved seeing Ayton hitting the offensive glass time after time in the 4th quarter. He's learning!
In the post-game huddle with the media, Ayton talked a lot about the team's effort. One thing I love about Ayton: He is very receptive to criticism and seems super coachable. Most players with motor issues don't improve as they get older. Maybe Ayton just doesn't know what he's doing yet. He is showing flashes of being a different kind of player these past few games. Maybe Richaun is wearing off on him. Whatever it is, he played really hard tonight, didn't make any dumb decisions, stayed aggressive and outplayed KAT in the 2nd half.

Good post. I think if we replace Josh Jackson's minutes with Oubre and continue to start Melton we may actually win a few more games. I'm seriously afraid that Rivers is being brought here to start. I hope that his respect for Jamal Crawford means we get the good Austin & not the one from New Orleans and Washington. I still prefer that he's waived. However, if he isn't then I hope his minutes aren't at the expense of Melton's. Melton needs to be out there learning, and he needs to be doing it with Booker & Bridges.Xylus wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 11:28 pmIt's really exciting and rewarding to watch the team steadily improve in all areas as the season progresses.
