That pass from Royce was beautiful. Book with the FU game. Wish he'd do that more often. Move Durant and try to get Beal somewhere then surround Booker with length and 3&D wings. Get an athletic rebounding starting center.

Seriously not that complicated.

Quality win considering that we were without KD and Beal. Booker was clearly exhausted towards the end and Grayson and Royce stepped up.

That being said, had this been a loss, the ending looked far too much like the Portland game. You can't win too many games when you're giving away possession after possession down the stretch. Unfortunately, this will likely be the story for the remainder of the season.

Bud coaching late 4th like he's tanking. Richards HAS to be in there for rebounds. Wish someone would ask why he's not getting minutes there.

Plumlee is cooked.

His finishing ability is gone and he just has a hard time doing anything well.

Would be a feel good win but remember the Jazz are one of the worst teams in the league and we're struggling to beat them.

This.


A playoff team, even without key players, would defeat Jazz, who are also missing players.... they're horrible.

Suns took OT and let Jazz score over 115....
That's says it all.... Suns are easy to score against most nights and rely on heroic individuals to put huge nights... there's no consistent spread of good performances on average....

Suns are skiing uphill against good teams basically... and even with bad teams.

I thought I would semi retire posting on suns forums because I'm more of a casual fan now, but the ugliness needs to be shamed.

Only 8 turnovers KD and Beal.

Take some notes.

Box score even shows 7 TOs. Everybody played hard with 15 blocks. 3 by Bol Bol. Bud realized we need his size after not getting any big for Nurk.

WOW!!!!!!!!

Grayson FREAKING ALLEN!!!!

I can’t believe it.

I couldn't watch it live and when I started watching it and I saw that both KD and Beal were out I thought "if we can get a W here that would be a HUGE and a pumping win".

The game was meh and we were playing decent basketball but nothing special to talk about it. Then we had an small run and were up around 10 points with 7/8 minutes left...but we lost that advantage.

I was so destroyed at that point that I put the end and I watched the result. I saw it and I was "GREAT, WE WON" and I was relieved that we got it.

But what a BEAUTIFUL surprise when I saw the end of the game. I couldn't believe it. The Jazz had to miss that latest FT attempt and it was a W for them...but they gave us an opportunity with 0.9 seconds left and Allen delivered an AMAZING 3p shot!!

In overtime we just destroyed them with 3 pointers. It was fun to watch it without any pressure lol.

All in all a crazy win without our best and third best player. Booker delivered another 40+ game against the Jazz, it's a tradition already.

Tomorrow against the Nuggets is gonna be fun. LET'S GET IT!

That's what you get when one team doesn't care about wins. I mean it was nice to see that last 4s by Allen in regular time, but Markannen had no business making the FT and gifting us the win.

Why do you have to ruin this moment?

Sorry, let's enjoy it while still face reality. Suns are above .500 rather than below just because Markannen decided so. Reminds the lucky win against Kings last season which happens once in 10-20 years. An ending like in this game must happen even less often if the FT shooter tries to miss the FT. So two extremely lucky wins last and this season. Last year Suns proceeded to beat the odds and make the playoffs with hardest schedule over last month. Same challenge again, so let's see if luck is still on their side.

That one was so much fun for once. I dont care it was the jazz.
Luckily they survived that collapse at the end.

Keep KD/BEAL out. We are not winning **** anyways but at least the offense flows more this way.

The last seconds of that game in the 4th quarter are reasons why you should miss a free throw on purpose. Jazz messed up and Allen made them pay. Suns got hot in OT. great win!

Amazing shot by Allen!

It was an amazing finish because 999/1000 times you losses this game with 4 points down with 4.5 seconds left.

Allen made a terrific 3p, then we fouled quickly, Markannen scored both FTs and with just 0.9 seconds ANOTHER terrific 3p shot from RAYson Allen!

And then you have to win in the OT. CRAZY...so happy with the win and hopefully we gained momentum from this W.

[sunsbg]

Nuggets, pls don't kill our momentum in less than 24h. Be nice like Jazz. Thanks.

At the presser they mentioned to Bud and I think Booker and Allen that it was reminiscent of the Rex Chapman shot. Not totally but it was a catch and a quick shot in the same way, just not a pass over his head he had to catch turn around and shoot while jumping/falling backwards out of bounds. I was at the game with that Chapman play which was in the playoffs against the Sonics, TeamTragic and Skybill's team.
