Cody Martin really surprised me, I didn't know he is a good defensive player with high energy. I don't give a f**k who's fit again this man should be playing every game

We are in the play-in as the 10th seed. Thanks mostly to the NBA gifting Doncic away from Dallas with that bullsh** trade.

I only could watch the three first quarters and I love the way we were playing because we are defending much better with our new group out there.

KD and Book leading on offense and making things easier for their teammates.

We are 10th FINALLY. Let's keep it up!

Bud should really run plays for Richards, he has to make use of his mid range game

Bud is doing a fantastic job lately choosing a lineup that works. We are in the playoff mix and continue moving up. The skies the limit for this team.

Goes to show what a bad job the organization has done surrounding book and KD with players that fit.

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious that we need physical, active and low usage players around Book and KD.

Dunn fits nicely next to them because he has all those attributes. First and foremost he is a great defender and that’s the most needed skill to put next to those two great offensive players.

Gillespie is nice setting the table and he is always an offensive threat as a 3p shooter. On defense he plays hard and surprisingly he is a good rebounder for his position.

10th after Mavs lost a weird one as if all the **** they got this season was not enough. On the other hand Blazers won vs MEM convincingly. They are pushing for the play-in. Now Suns need some help from other teams resting star players to have winning record in next 10 games.

Nope!


They were passing & letting others shoot the ball other than KD and Book. Which one is Bud's offense.

1. Collin Gillespie getting in the paint whenever he wishes opening up shots for our bigs and wings.
2. Just give the ball to Book and KD they will solve everything.

Who is running the show?

Book and KD or Bud?

The first three quarters were great, they we went back to the same old crap.

Bud better keep Cody Martin in the rotation, or he should be fired on the spot.

While I'm flattered, I believe you must have me confused with someone else. My primary purpose here is to share my boundless knowledge of the game of basketball with the masses. Essentially emulating the great thinkers of our time such as Socrates, Dr. Phil, Kendrick Perkins and the Hawktuah Girl —but with a focus solely on providing invaluable insights into Phoenix Suns basketball.

If you're looking for snicks and giggles, seek elsewhere my friend.

playin really is stupid if you don't put a limit on the games difference between 8th and 9th/10th.

Minny is 40-31 and Suns 33-37. You shouldn't have to miss the playoffs for losing one of two games after that. Or even be punished by playing a couple of extra games before the first round.

I think it show what a bad job that Bud has done in his selections as to who plays and who sits.

I also think most of us were happy with the group of players added this off season considering we only had vet minimums to offer. You can bag on the KD and Beal acquisitions, but they really have done a pretty good job in adding other players.

The real issue is the coaching decisions they have made.
