10 in a row for them, hottest team in the league at the moment.

Devin Booker is the nice Kobe, sharing rather than the strangling.

Crazy that a 21 yr old like this ends up in bed with Antonio Brown and Devin Booker lol.

This is all I could think of watching those Dr Phil clips. She's 100% danger zone for me but like a 7 hot

Fun game to watch and big win on the road against a playoff team.

I really love the Raptors, they have a good core of talented players and the best GM in the business.

Anunoby-Siakam are amazing two-way players.

Anunoby has improved so much on offense, he can create his own shot and is improving his passing...but he is not yet a good facilitator.

We had huge problems securing defensive rebounds, but we decided to put CP3 on Boucher and he is very good on the glass.

I really like how we played in the fourth quarter, CP3 is a genius orchestrating our half court sets.

Wow how have I never seen this before lol. This is amazing and so factual.

This should be taught in high school and be a mandatory thing. If not, every parent should show this to their kid once their close to 18 lol.

Twice in the 4th Ayton got the ball all alone at the rim. Both times he looked like he wanted to pass out first and then realized a half second later no defenders were even near him. Then he scored. Sigh.

I feel we were very good defensively in this one.
The concern I have going forward is that teams are going to know that if they attack the glass, they can get whatever they want as the Suns tend to be too soft there.
Going to have to figure this out or else our post season run won't be as memorable as last season. This is a reason I wanted Bobby Portis during the offseason.

Suns had 29 defensive rebounds.
Raps had 22 Offensive rebounds.

If we snag 5-10 of those, we win comfortably. I'm still so steamed about that effort.

Those offensive rebounds were just crazy. At one point they had 21 off and 21 def rebounds. I don't think I have ever seen a game where a team was that far into a game having the same amount of both off/def rebounds. :o Some of the bounces just went to their players, but overall, they just out hustled some of our guys. Hopefully Monty works on boxing out drills.

Yeah this is extremely soft by Booker. That seriously scared you at the FT line? Seriously?


A little soft but with no fans in the stands why is the mascot even there? Also far more distracting when it's just 1 person doing that in an empty building

Still a bit funny really. Booker was probably more upset that he is sucking at shooting, and looking for someone/thing to take it out on.
Would have been even funnier if the owner and mascot were doing it. :lol:

Man I remember watching that years ago and laughing. I watched it recently and thought it probably wouldn't go over so well today if it came out given all the social acceptance new norms.

Still very funny though.

His touch is so good now that even if he's covered during this half of the second he wastes he would still score. So who cares. We already know he's more about skill then catch-and-dunk type of big. His D on Siakam and rebounding was key for the win.

He does this a lot... my problem is that he isnt the most athletic player or highest jumpshot to get by defenders and get a nice shot up. He needs to keep it simple, go for the mid range shot if he has advantage over the defender and opt for the higher percentage plays.

And if he does rush those shots and gets blocked, fans will say he should have pumped faked or checked for open team mates..

He cant win...

Ayton is a low risk type of player... he wont take circus or try to force shots up... meaning he takes calculated smart shots. Do we wish he just dunks everything like Giannis?... sure... but he isnt Giannis... he's much closer to Duncan, Horford, Marc Gasol as in he would stay grounded or keep plays simple.. but use his athleticism only when its the only option (Valley Oop).

Bucks are beating the Warriors by like 65 points in the 3rd Q. :O

Has father time finally claimed Curry and Klay? As we know father time is undefeated just ask MJ, Shaq, etc
