Exactly. Calling it as I saw it... at that point in the game. And it's the first game of what will be a long season, dude. Get a grip. Not that I care what you think of me anyway. Easy to go ahead and foe me. Save me the trouble, would you? I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not sure who has a flatter shot, Brooks or Shamet
SHAZAM!

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

Wemby could block a Brooks 3 at its apex just by reaching his arm up

Good ft shooting by Brooks. You can tell Booker is too nervous to take a late game shot.

Nice comeback for Phoenix after being down by nearly 20 points. I’m still not sold on this team. Either they’re gonna win 50 games this season or 25 I have no clue whatsoever.

At least those taken by Brooks are falling with somewhat regularity.

A good comeback win tonight. We need to be more consistent in keeping things going and keeping it close rather than always having to come from behind and often struggling in the process. At least we're not having to do it with Beal on the roster.

Loved what Mark Williams brought today, let's hope he will stay healthy.

Brooks is basically this season's Crowder. I'm sure he's a big part of the intensity and energy the team brought today, but also looks like he's never seen a shot opportunity he doesn't like.

Overall, I liked our team today, hopefully we can maintain this intensity.

After watching this game, I think we need to just get Fleming and Maluach minutes.

Rookies typically don't really get minutes until later in the season though - unless they're top draft picks. Not surprised these guys didn't see minutes in a close game.

Fleming for sure. He can do everything Hayes-Davis can plus he’s a better shooter and shot blocker.

Maluach is tough. I think the 3 other centers are better players today.

Tough win, we played with heart and grit and got the **** W.

It was not a surprise that we had some trouble to score the ball at some points of the game but our intensity and focus were always there on both sides.

Dillon Brooks is really good. It's not just about his hustle, he is skilled on defense and can help on offense in a variety of ways. He is a better version than PJ Tucker|Jae Crowder.

Booker was Booker. You can count always with this guy.

And I loved what I saw from Mark Williams. Terrific rebounder and he gave us a big advantage inside.

Return to Phoenix Suns
