Bismack Biyombo was an excellent acquisition. He plays hard and fits right in with the team.

Maybe he got in the game at the end? I didn't notice him.
He came in at the very end. It was McGee starting, with Biyombo playing the bulk of the 4th quarter minutes. That might have been our best win of the season. Back to back, Spurs are always a tough opponent. We go down 12 with things spiraling out of control in the 3rd quarter. To win by double digits is awfully impressive. Portland without Book is close also but man, this game was fun to watch our resolve. Devin Booker is the best shooting guard in the game. Period. I think they’ll give Ja and Steph the backcourt in the West but Book is just as deserving.

Only negative for the game, Cam Johnson broke his streak of 22 games in a row with 2+ 3's made in a game. Finished 0-2

How about Cam Johnson driving down the court with that spin move for the layup.

McGee + Biyombo are two of the best frontcourt pickups the Suns have ever made... both in the same season, no less.

Monty went with Biyombo instead of Smith because the Suns needed "girth."

I'm guessing the Suns return home unless they want to stay in Texas until Thursday to play the Mavericks.

Some crazy scheduling on this road trip.

Looking forward to some home games hate watching on TV. Not looking forward to the Jazz after Rudy just called them out.

Did I miss something? Are you talking about Rudy Gobert.

He seems to be a good signing so far. The reasoning above is why I don’t think Jalen is cutout to be a center. To easy to push him around.

Stix needs to convert to the power forward position but expecting it to happen in 1 1/2 seasons with limited playing time is unrealistic.

With that said, I don't think Monty has much confidence in him. This is probably one of the reasons the Suns didn't pick up his option.

JMHO.

We have a 3 game lead for the #1 seed. Ideally we keep playing CP3 and sit him for a few games when we clinch home court. The Warriors and Jazz are banged up and not playing well right now.

This team. Has to be demoralizing. Other teams think they have a chance and then in the middle of the fourth they shift into another gear and just blow the doors off.

This is a pattern.
