The 3PT shooting will be very important against a long athletic team like MIN.

For me Austin Reeves, KCP, TJ McConnell, Reggie Jackson, Bruce Brown most of players who can play defense and help us in the playoffs.

We blew it man. Had his international coach everything was lined out perfectly then Sarver decided to take the UofA center and everything went downhill from that moment. I don’t recall us recovering ever since.

And then the heavens parted and Haliburton was there for free as if the gods were trying to make up for passing on Doncic, and we just didn't.

Suns might be the one franchise where you think, yeah, it actually would be better if a fan was in charge.

We need to somehow steal a win tonight. I'm hopeful the team that played against NO shows up rather than the half assed one we've seen on several occasions through the season.

Wow, the Kings made a 21-1 run to take a 1 pt lead with like 27 seconds left against Boston. Then Boston took the lead back by 1 with 7 seconds.

The Kings then got 3 shots....2 offensive rebounds and put back tries at the end and blew it. Had to hurt for them.

I missed the Kings game but NOLA just chocked away the game as well. Great entertaining night of basketball

We should get this one at home with them missing an all star.

We need to find some means to sustain this momentum, especially seeing both SAC and NO lost tonight. If DAL happens to choke their game, we could close the distance even more.

If we're gonna struggle in the 2nd half, we gotta be incandescent in the 1st half.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

I didn't really expect injuries to our direct compeititon to really benefit us down the stretch, but with Zion, Ingram, Luka, Monk and Huerter out, it's really helping us move up down the stretch. These teams are losing very close games missing key players.
