This is a talented roster, we just need consistency. Nice to get on a roll early, hopefully it carries forward.

I don't want to get my hopes or expectations up but we're beating the teams we're supposed to beat, which should be good enough for the 8th spot...I hope. We still struggle against the elite or even just the "good to very good", but if we keep getting these "taking care of business" wins we'll be in the playoff hunt until the end.*

*I reserve the right to predict doom for this franchise after our next loss.

There is so much love on this board when the Suns win 3 in a row! :lol:

Three straight games without Markieff, three straight blowouts. See how much faster the team is without Markieff. Completely different team. Addition by subtraction. He should never play for the Suns again. His teammates do not need him. Trade him for the best package you can get. If that means you have to wait until December 15, just bench him and/or keep him away from the team. Every game without him is a Suns game that is far more enjoyable to watch. And Hornacek is finally giving Goodwin time and it is paying off.

I feel bad for Jeff2020, who, going to see an undefeated team, had to watch them lose to the Texans, especially when they converted a 4th and 6 pass in close range with under a minute left but he fumbled it.

It's amazing that Houston is tied for first now in their division.

Terrific defense in the second half, Alex Len was everywhere. Archie played hard and with confidence and Warren....was just Warren.

Nice. (Borat's voice).

I did! On the Texans +12.5. I'm doing very well betting on dogs this year in the nfl.

Archie's at that Goran Dragic stage where his improvement is going to come from getting out there and playing through his struggles. He's got the rotation spot, now he doesn't have to look over his shoulder, just play.

Confidence is KEY.... anyone who plays sports will know that potential is only realize when you are confident in yourself fulfilling them.

Consistent minutes and room for "mistakes" (not yanking out players after a bad play) helps build confidence.

Look at who we've been playing before you go all the way down the "Suns = GOAT without Markieff" road

Does he though??

I feel like once Price comes back, his minutes will get hella diminished.

Unfortunately, I didn't bet. Oh well, at least I'm the next nostradamus.

The big question is, are fans going to care (of course many here will) if he plays over Booker? It was great to see him do well though.

Brandon Knight is only 23 years old, 2 years older than Alex Len. Can't believe Milwaukee let him go.
