[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

They outrebounded us 50 - 32. Holy crap.

 

[Cheesebeef]

33-14 is a pretty damn good record.

Lol ouch... to bad suns didn't get drummond

 

[Finito]

8 points, 3 rebounds while giving up 24/10. Vucevic owns Ayton.

not really.

the last two games this year have been pretty close

Ayton 10/13
Vucevic 14/10

Ayton 21/9
Vucevic 27/14

 

[mjb21aztd]

Bong hit of purple nightmare to celebrate!!!

 

[Proximo]

They outrebounded us 50 - 32. Holy crap.

lt felt worse than that.

people saying our current bigs are adequate are just wrong.

 

[Cheesebeef]

When Frank gets back I hope Monty starts giving him some run again. Between the Nuggets, Lakers and the Jazz to some extent, they’re going to face teams with size in the playoffs and need to get a little bit of a groove playing that way.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bulls have size and they used it. Suns are going to see this look a lot especially in the playoffs.

 

[Cheesebeef]

lt felt worse than that.

people saying our current bigs are adequate are just wrong.

is anyone saying that? They’re adequate to win games in the regular season but I think 99% of the board agrees it’s going be a major problem without more bigs in the playoffs.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Kind of crazy that they did that and yet we never really lost control of the game. Just shot the ball too well for them to overtake us.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Jazz/@Clippers back to back next week will be great litmus tests for this squad is after beating up on a favorable schedule.

I see disaster in the playoffs.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This was supposed to be dumb snarky stuff don't get mad

I’ll kill u Sanders!!!!!!

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns hadn't shot 56.8% from the field and 44.0% from three, this would have been a loss.

Monty sees lack of size is an issue because he was playing Ayton and Saric at crunch time.

 

[sdscard4]

33-14 is a pretty damn good record.

3 off the pace of the 2004 team I believe...

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Well, this is the least impressive 7 of 8 game winning streak I think I’ve ever seen, but I’ll take it!

I’m jonesing to see us play someone good and at full health again to see where we measure head to head against some of the big boys.

They’re doing what they needed to do with this stretch against bad and mediocre teams - win. It ain’t pretty. But the stacking w’s will be important with the end of season schedule.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I see disaster in the playoffs.

if we stick with HCA, I see a really tough first round series that can go either way. If they get to the second round, I expect an ugly 4-1 series loss.

yes, I’m saying this completely aware that I have no idea who would be our matchups.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul had 19 points and 14 assists to go with Booker's 45.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Jazz/@Clippers back to back next week will be great litmus tests for this squad is after beating up on a favorable schedule.

That is like a tough poffs matchup round be interesting see how suns perform

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Kind of crazy that they did that and yet we never really lost control of the game. Just shot the ball too well for them to overtake us.

But it’s why we were never able to just put them away.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Lol ouch... to bad suns didn't get drummond

Drummond has 4pts and 2 rbs against the Bucks tonight

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Chris Paul had 19 points and 14 assists to go with Booker's 45.

Yup. And some heady play defensively. He had a terrific game.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Drummond has 4pts and 2 rbs against the Bucks tonight

See how he does when ad bron return but just his size is nice against center pf

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

But it’s why we were never able to just put them away.

For sure. Think it had a lot to do with just being on the 2nd of a b2b. It's not something that we have struggled with much this year as far as I'm aware.
