Also the rookies getting actual minutes, which should have been happening all season.

Im watching the Jazz stream and they've about 7-8 videos of Suns players roughing up Jazz players with no call... Len's elbows which took George Hill out.

Trust me, both teams have bad calls on them and Suns have actually done more damage.

Watson. Watson. Watson. Tucker. Knight. Knight. Tucker.

And Bledsoe..."I need to get mine too" though to be fair he played well overall but you keep feeding the hot guy and play for the team instead of yourself.

At least Bledsoe backs his attitude up with results. You have to give him credit I suppose.

Great damn game for the Suns tonight. Proud of all the youngsters contributing tonight. If Suns got calls tonight, we would have won. Move on to next!

Nice to trade a likely top 5 or so pick or who knows where it could end up unprotected next year for the worst player in the league. Props to McD on that one.

And Isaiah Thomas likely 2 time All Star putting up 27 and 7.

They will not go anywhere. The only good thing with them is they can play well and still get the Brooklyn picks. Not a fan of IT's play. Just another Marbury, Iverson type who doesn't get as many assists. He may be a better scorer, but still not leading you anywhere. Doesn't make teammates better. We still just used cap space to get a first round pick that helped us get Chriss, who fits our timeline better. IT would have likely just made picks the next couple of years and last year worse.

I agree mostly. IT is a great player if you want to be a good team and he seems like an awesome dude as well. But unless he comes off the bench, I can't see his team winning a championship with his defense. And he can't come off the bench with the money he's going to get in a couple years.

It's going to be interesting to see what Boston does when his contract is up. Pay him huge max money, putting their championship hopes on him, or using him as a trade chip, or what.

If IT was still on the Suns, people would be bitching that he was making the Suns a treadmill team.

The last person responsible for Devin Booker's bad play is Devin Booker himself. BK, Santa, McD, Watson, Bled, Judge Judy are all more responsible for Devin Booker being bad than Devin Booker himself.

Devin Booker is the most beautiful person on the planet, is smart and funny, and never sucks at basketball.

- Most Suns fans

The Suns had absolutely nothing to do with that. The Jazz are a defensive minded team not offensive minded.

I like the shot Booker got. Another winnable game we lose.

I did not see the game...but how it is possible that Warren made 0 points? Is he that bad after his "minor" head injury?

Damn, you folks look pretty good for a bottom dweller. If you are gonna lose at least have a team that is exciting with upside like yours.

Yeah, was a fun game. We defended much better than I expected, but you were still a bit better on that end.

he really looks out of sorts and the fact we did not run plays for him doesn't help either.

The harsh reality is that Bledsoe hurts our offense because he can try to do too much and go iso and the problem is compounded if you have Knight on the same roster getting huge minutes.

He hasnt been the same since the minor injury.

Maybe take a couple more weeks to shake it off.

Thats because you dont see the suns enough.
This team is bad... Most losses are blow outs with veterans hogging mosr minutes.

Just got back from the Suns @ Jazz game. The Jazz played like crap, Phoenix played decent I suppose.

Bledsoe & Booker are both solid. Chandler, Warren, Chriss, Len were complete non-factors for the most part. I'm not sure why Brandon Knight is only getting 8 minutes while TJ Warren, PJ Tucker are getting bigger minutes.

Warren rarely has a game that bad.
