Sounds like the San Antonio crowds is chanting "We want IT"? Can't really hear it clearly on my phone, tho.

I thought they are chanting we want Ossy or Aussie. Maybe Osman but he already played 18 minutes tonight. I figured it was some end of bench player that hardly plays.

21 points so far in the 4th quarter I wanted the Suns to score at least 25 & they are pretty close to that mark.

This was a perfect game. We played 48 minutes of great team basketball.

KD with 12/16 shooting. Beal with 12 assists. Book was Book.

And every bench player played well, even Eubanks. That happened in the last game too.

I'm disappointed that we were rolling the whole game and Thomas never got to the floor. If he's going to help when we really need it, he needs burn and now.

We all wanted to see him play, but unfortunately Vogul had other plans. Maybe IT will get a few minutes next game although I don’t see another blowout by our guys.

Vogel said he was there for depth. He's on a 10 day while everyone else who played is actually on the playoff roster.

Yes, yes. You've said that before and it doesn't change anything: He's here and we want to see him on the court and not when the game wraps as he's walking back to the locker room.

Besides, we need a point guard and he fills that role. He can score and that's not critical but is a nice bonus. I'd rather see Thomas that Wainright. Pretty sure most would agree with me there.

Good to see them win the games that they should win against worse teams, teams without their star players available, etc. We've caught some advantages in the last two games for sure and have capitalized on them as we should. Let's keep this trend going and take care of business proper to close out the season on a positive note! :D

Looks like the boys had fun. I hope it caries over to rest of the season. Beal playmaking(12a/1to) and Book/KD scoring is what we waited for. And of course Bol Bol vs Wemby. Saw Bol had some words for the refs. :lol: Must watch.

Hopefully over 7 ft otherwise he's gonna have a lot of headaches!!! ........ :lol: :lol: :clown:

Seriously though, IF he reaches his ultimate ceiling, maybe a fringe double/double 4/5 unicorn mix of Bosch and Gasol with better ballhandling? Or perhaps a budget version of Artis Gilmore. Either way, He'll be a very coveted player throughout the league with 3rd option potential on a playoff team if he keeps this up!

Bol Bol is already a very solid rotation role player based off his play for the last month or two, he's always had the talent but I think he's finally figuring out what his role is in the NBA. So yeah I'd say that's his absolute floor going forward.

I really like him as does every suns fan, but I think he's played himself out of our price range. Him holding his own against Wemby is going to go viral

Wainwright didn't even play
