I can. But it's nice to know there are still fans out there who think there is no way we can lose a game, especially one against the Warriors, though depleted and on a b2b.

Best thing about this season is our unis (except the Los Suns ones).

what the hell are some of the shots being taken

tune in and see Troy Daniels throw up a heavily contested 3 with barely an action run

zero movement possession with Josh Jackson isolating up top and driving into traffic

Elfrid Payton trying to isolate Looney on a switch but not even bothering to pull it out, but tries to start from the midrange

Josh Jackson isolating on the wing and trying to play playground basketball

this is some of the most infuriatingly stupid basketball I've ever seen at the NBA level

Jackson has a straight up killer instinct. He wants to stop you and beat you on every possession. Love it.

Third game in a row Josh is balling. Only had 4 bad games since he beginning of the new year.

Bender by all accounts looks to play good defense, but it's weird because players seem to make a lot of shots they shouldn't make against him. Maybe Dragan has a curse on him.

Yep.

He's so competitive and gifted athletically hence he can do it... just like Westbrook. Drive, ability to learn, confidence... 3 things that KEY to being dominant in your field... sports included.


But ultimately, I see (hopefully) a Paul George/Tracy McGrady type.... would be PERFECT next to Booker.


Prime Grant Hill is my dream

just because he can and is having success at it doesn't mean he should do it every time regardless

can recognize he's having a good game while understanding that's not coming from winning basketball

Glad you admitted. Because the Suns are winning and Jackson is dominating. Maybe he should play as if he can be stopped....
