Whether or not they are now, they won’t be if we lose in the first round.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 1:11 pmI don’t know about Nurse.

If the players are still on board with Monty I wouldn’t do that.
The only thing that makes you happier than a good Ayton game is a bad Monty game.JeremyG wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 8:07 amWhether or not they are now, they won’t be if we lose in the first round.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 1:11 pmI don’t know about Nurse.

I'd rather we played Saben!
Yeah, I don't know what we're Saben him for! He could be that spark we need. (I'm a little bit serious here. Couldn't hurt to try. He'd probably help more than Shamet although I know that's not saying much.)

Especially after that last performance…. I’m sure Monty’s going to over think his line up again today.SunsSince92 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 11:59 amSuperbone wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 11:32 amYeah, I don't know what we're Saben him for!

Exactly. I'm sure there is a sound justification for playing an undersized SG who can't shoot over a legit (albeit inexperienced) PG in Payne's absence, but whatever it is, it's eluding me at the moment.
PHOENIX — For the first time in the Monty Williams era, the Phoenix Suns are down 0-1 in a playoff series.
Phoenix was previously 6-0 in Game 1s, all at home, before Sunday’s 115-110 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Those six victories featured an overwhelming force of attention to detail and work rate. Though there was slippage at times, the latter was there most of the night. The execution, however, was not.
Once Phoenix got by the first-game jitters in Game 1 two years ago against the Los Angeles Lakers, it shot 52.0% and had a 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio over the next five Game 1s. The numbers on Sunday weren’t too far off, 47.6% and a 2.7 ratio, but the eye test was far more revealing on offense.

Very cool. I like that they usually include radio calls for a lot of the playoff videos on NBA.com, including the Clippers’ Noah Eagle for game 1. Fun fact: I used to run board ops for some of the Clippers games (for the Clippers radio network’s affiliate stations) when the legendary Ralph Lawler (“Lawler’s Law”) was still part of the broadcast, but that was before Ian Eagle’s son Noah became the radio PxP voice (both of whom are great broadcasters in their own right).Superbone wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 11:20 am5 takeaways from Suns' Game 2 victory against Clippers
From Devin Booker's scoring barrage to the role rebounding is playing in the series, these 5 things stood out in Game 2.

I love how they included some of Al's play calls in the video.
