Suns are extremely lucky Austin can’t hit an open three

Everyone says resigning Grayson in the off season, I think Royce is actually who we need to prioritize given our lack of size and defense.

Grayson is overrated as a defender and he's too limited as a scorer and can't create for himself if his 3 isn't falling.

He's too short and lacks quickness to be a lockdown defender although it's not a lack of effort it's his physical limitations.

Love when the Suns just show up for a few minutes every game. They should have their paychecks prorated.

We will escape with this one but a total pyrrhic victory

We won, but really, we lost

Still can't afford to lose Grayson for nothing, a sign and trade for a physical athletic wing is the best option. We've got way too many 6'3-6'4 shooting guards, that's half of our rotation and almost all of our problems.

It feels like the entire team smokes like 20 bongloads each before every game. When it starts wearing off they can actually play, but most of the time it's too late.

Suns still the laughing stock of the league after last two games, but at least avoided record loss in first one and managed to barely beat Clippers g league team in second.

I agree to an extent, but we really just needed this game period. I was worried that giving up could be on the horizon if we lost. Now we are in decent position for at least the 7.
