No room for error going forward. KD or Booker have an off night and we basically have zero chance at winning. Hopefully Cam Payne is ready to step up.

Suns fans are embarrassing. Learning to ignore the negativity. I have faith with this team and the Suns coaching staff. It will be tough but no way will I bet against them.

I think we win the next two, barring more injuries.

You'd think!
But then we're also 3 postseasons in and he's still not been able to figure out how to use timeouts, utilize proper rotations, or counter situational matchups yet either!!!

Makes you really appreciate our team making the finals in 21 with all his deficiencies. That team was tough as nails Crowder, Payne, Ayton all played their roles beautifully and now all three seem to have declined. I just want Monty to play the right players before our season ends.

And one in honour of our new owner Kendall Roy, who needs to cut down on the sugar a little bit.

Monty looks kinda defeated in the video but at least he’s ready to experiment before it gets too late.
What happened to Okogie last 25 games of the season ? He knew his role to remain in the corner and hit open threes given to him by Book, KD, & Paul. Now he looks terrible out there.

Chris Paul being out hurts us but I am excited to see Payne more. I think we play faster with Payne. I just hope he makes his lay ups because I have no doubt he will be able to get to the rim against Denver. He seems to always play well as a starter so I would not be surprised to see him produce more than CP3 could at this stage of his career.
I also expect to win both games.

I love okogies effort and drive but I always felt that he was shooting above his level during that run. He also seems like a player that thrives with consistency. That got yanked when Craig got inserted in the first round in his place. Craig did kill it in that 1st round though, but at what cost?

After game 2, I was able to get a pass to meet some of the players. DA was talking with Cam Payne and his family and both kept repeating something to the line of
“Nobody can fu** with us at the Valley. They won’t catch us slipping there.”
I expect the team fired up at home. I really wish the game was tomorrow.

Lol that’s cute all Denver needs to do is win one on the road and series pretty much over. DA can say anything he desires but his words are empty promises nowadays. I don’t believe anything he utters maybe Mikal, CamJ, Book, Paul I’d be more inclined to believe but Ayton has lost my trust.

It’s weird because for the first time, I kinda believe him. He played better last game. Still no where near the level to where he should be playing but I’ll settle for that kind of performance from him. I’ll take whatever I can get!

He certainly played with more energy and urgency last game. Let’s hope he continues that way cause now with Chris Paul injured he will be getting more shot attempts. If we manage to win game 3 then all the pressure will be on Denver in game 4.

I asked Monty Williams about balancing the workload for Devin Booker and Kevin Durant and he said he could do a better job “putting more scorers on the floor and living with whatever warts may come with that.”
Hopefully Ross and Warren are ready to go, they are gonna have an opportunity to make an impact coming from the bench.

7 games in and finally our "coach" figured it out that Ross and Warren need to play.
What a blessing
