Beautiful!

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

lakers beat the no good knicks today - we needed this win

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

ah you know - just 30 pts and 10 assists for book

 

[Cheesebeef]

What this team continues to do, no matter what wave of injuries keep getting thrown their way, is really impressive.

 

[Dback Jon]

[Mainstreet]

Rasheer Fleming with 16 points and 2 rebounds.

Khaman Maluach with 4 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Booker already has the record for 30 point games for the Suns. Stack another one!

 

[Yuma]

Rasheer Fleming with 16 points and 2 rebounds.

Khaman Maluach with 4 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.

These are the future starting PF and Center combo.

 

[JosiahLee]

One of the best team wins in a while. Especially after that embarrassing loss to Chicago.

Great efficiency tonight from Book, Gillespie, and Green. Is this what the Suns can be if Green just plays decent?

It’s a shame Ryan Dunn seem to be getting phased out, but you have to make the most of your minutes.

Fleming was hot off the bench tonight…Love it for his confidence.

Now if we can just get Brooks and Goodwin back, maybe we can win a playoff series.

I really really liked what highsmith gave us in his first game.

Can’t believe we were without Grayson,Dillon,Goodwin, and mark and played that well. We actually are now a really deep team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker with the double-double.

Could be huge for any potential playoff run…I love that guys like Bouyea, Coffey, Maluach, Fleming and now Highsmith are getting minutes. This could give us some much needed depth and experience for the playoffs.

My only complaint in no Brea, I was most excited about his potential when we drafted him, but he must not be ready yet.

I have no complaints with how they’ve brought the rooks along. It’s paid off. Got Fleming past his imposter syndrome. Allowe Maluach to watch. Even he’s playing more than they expected due to mark williams injury. But he’s holding his own.

Nice win!

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce O'Neale and Oso Ighodaro have to produce more than 5 points combined as starters at the forward and center position.

They did combine for 11 rebounds but that's for two positions.

 

[GatorAZ]

K-Ray when he’s on a neutral broadcast is much better.

 

[Mainstreet]

In the previous game I criticized Allen for not chasing down a loose ball. This is probably why (knee).

that was a trip

The fun/scary part is we genuinely have no idea how good this team can be. We have not had a game where we were completely health.

Our bench when healthy is Gillespie, Grayson, Goodwin, Fleming, Oso/MauMau, and throw in Dunn for good measure. Seriously that's kinda INSANE

That was a fun one. Brought some friends from out east, didn't sit in my normal seats. Sat next to a cute blonde momma who was tanked. The arena booed the piss out of Foster during the intros. Booker with his best game of the year maybe, Gillespie was great, the rookies (especially Flemming) are really starting to shine.
