Suns just put up 131 on the Jazz and they're sitting at 82.

Umm I believe that run was sparked by Reggie and Shamet. Marcus Morris now getting hot so nice shooting from deep to counter the inside attack

Lou and Trezz are the core of the unit, Trezz has 5 rebs, Lou had 3 assists. The other guys plugged in great so far but I'll dance with who brung us this far. The Lou and Trezz Show floated us through bad times both last year and this. If you want to deny them the respect and credit they earned and deserve, fine.

And as a general statement, give the Lakers Lou & Trezz for almost any 2 players besides Bron and AD, and they're a far more dangerous team.

I agree with you, but reggie helped out a bit, so did shamet. That ball doesn't move without them in the lineup. The less we rely on lou ball, the better the ball moves in the second unit. Lou ball isn't a recipe for championship success.

It's really jamychal that had the biggest impact off the bench, +9 he was great defensively, getting into passing lanes and rebounds. just solid all around.

When you have a unit functioning well, it's not necessary to set them against each other. They make each other better. Cool.

Lou and Trezz held the fort through huge injuries and many minutes with guys who shouldn't even been playing. To write them out of the narrative now after only 2 games is just the latest delusion. :lol:

pretty sure PG overplayed his minute restriction.

Harrell in for the finish not bad for the love of god we actually got him a rest break and didn’t die

This was a great win it had some challenge in it to keep us focused. Ayton was a nice challenge warm up to prepare for Joker

10 points in 15 minutes for Reggie. I don't think Mcgruder has 10 points scored for the month...lol

Morris hits a lot of contested shots

They deserve the credit, not taking anything from them.

I do see a bitchslapping outcome for Suns after the turd Clips dropped early in the season. The Suns have to be aware of what happened to the Grizzlies... a better team than the Suns... on Monday.

It might not be a rivalry but Suns are on an uprise at this moment. You wont like the end result after tonight. Good luck though.

I like the end result just fine.

next game is against the nuggets. Trezz will play 45 minutes straight while zubac only plays in the 1st quarter

A I’ll take 13 foot jumpers and 3 pt shots everyday of the week and twice on Sunday over layups. Finally got a rotation that made sense and Trez was still allowed to close

that's fine. Its great that he was in the game. Gave them a different look. Trez was a negative 3 before the substitution. gave trez the second wind he needed instead of playing him 15 straight mins

Btw, Zu only played 20 mins. This is what I'm talking about. Fine playing him 20 mins if you're going to stretch it out to include some 4th quarter action but the early foul trouble zu had more to do with that.

https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/257348/Clippers-Interested-In-Re-Signing-Both-Montrezl-Harrell-Marcus-Morris

imagine paying an undersized center who can't stretch the floor and is terrible on defense $25 million a year.

I hope the FO is not as dumb as doc rivers and pay trezz that kind of money

NippySudz · Post #99 » by **NippySudz** » Thu Feb 27, 2020 4:28 am

This is what I like to see. Kawhi being the scoring leader, lou will not having 20 or Trez. Its a nice balanced effort from the bench instead of two guys just scoring. I like it. the bench unit is so deadly when other guys are scoring

of course it helps to have two 20 pt scorers on your bench :wink:

just be aware there may be a price
there WAS a price

Doc did a lot of experimenting tonight because we had enough of a cushion

a lot of times this year we couldn't afford to f--- around in the 4th quarter like we just did

getting through these insane injuries only 1 game out of the 2nd seed was a masterful accomplishment all in itself

How many points will Leonard & George combine for?
