Interesting game against in a couple days against the Wolves. Hopefully we can have CP3, Ayton, Booker, Payne, CamJ, and Shamet back for that one.


That would be neat Saberester.

In the past 12 games half have been 10 points or less.


Suns organization wanted Mikal Bridges to become something that he’s not particular good as it’s showing right now without our other leaders on the court. Bridges will never be able to lead a team even for a week without our main 2-3 guys. He’s an excellent defender but his defense becomes in question when he’s supposed to orchestrate on offense, but has no gas left in the tank on defense. Suns desperately need Booker and CamJ back to allow Bridges to get back at what he does well, which is guard opponents best defender and knock down easy threes. We thought having Bridges drive inside and knock down a jumper repeatedly would work but other teams have game planned against it and now the play looks repetitive and easy to stop.

Bridges is like KCP

He is like KCP... but Mikal is taller, longer, younger and more versatile and better at every skill on offense and defense.

my teacher says I'm like KCP... but I fail tests and don't do homework.
