He does that to mess with the shooter and disrupt their routine.

Man, I was really hoping Phoenix could break LBJ's 10pt game streak. Almost happened last year and again tonight. Yes, I'm petty like that.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Also shout out to Goodwin & Bouyea. They both were pesky on defense and made shots to bail out some bad possessions. Even NHD had a couple nice plays.

But seriously, doesn't everybody?

Hes turned over the ball quite a bit trying to make those backdoor or pocket passes. Im not playing that guy for the occasional backdoor pass. Id rather see maluach develop earlier in the season if Richards is a no-go. Oso has the lowest ceiling of any player on this roster. Any of those backdoor plays easily offset but his terrible push shots in the lane.

Man Man is playing on the G team.where he belongs. Mark Williams played in the G league his first year. They are developing him

ayton 12 pts 8 boards beaten up and down the court so often they yanked him after a timeout when we went on a literal run

He always appeared gassed when he was a sun

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I believe Booker has been playing injured for a bit and he finally got to the point he couldn't go last night. A few games off he might find his shot again

Depleted Suns steamroll Lakers to further showcase great habits

The Phoenix Suns are going to keep rolling teams that don't show up ready to match their energy, no matter who is available to play.

My impressions watching this team live:

~There’s legit chemistry on this team and the players like each other

~When Book went out, the offense didn’t skip a beat. Everyone stepped up and played different roles. Obviously gonna need Booker back, but there was no sign of panic from the players or the coach

~Collin Gillespie is challenging TJ McConnell as the best player in NBA history. Dude was money in the second half

And I think it’s time for LeBron to retire. Dude is cooked

Brooks had the last laugh against LeBron this time around...

Brings up a good point. I keep reading about building up trade value for Brooks, Grayson, Oneale, etc. Not saying that is wrong. But at what point do we say “This is the way”?

 

[Chaplin]

Man, if Book is out for any extended time, it sure would be nice for Jalen Green to come back healthy....

 

[95pro]

I believe Booker has been playing injured for a bit and he finally got to the point he couldn't go last night. A few games off he might find his shot again

Could be, the last three games or so he hasn't had much lift imo.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Well. This team is consistent. That is what good D does for you. We know pretty much exactly where they are in the league's pecking order right now.

Oh, and Collin Gillespie is making the case for a starter role. As good as Grayson was playing, Collin seems to be doing better. He is a pg.

The players are out there. Suns have to find them.

They have to recognize talent early on and nurture it.

No excuses though. The Suns need to recognize what is before their eyes.

This is not the way to look at it.

Think how good we would be with high end talent and this coaching staff, but since we have no way to acquire high end talent because we botched everything so badly the last 3 years, this is going to have to suffice.

I think we can safely say that JJ Redick got Ott coached last night.
