Felt like that game was trying to give me a heart attach.

Very proud of our guys for hanging tough. Halfway there! 4 more to go!

7 players in double figures. Huge win after Booker's 5th foul and Pacers taking the lead. Payne and Saric were great.

And Saric should have picked some other message to put on his back. I constantly reads it as Antichrist or Anarchist, then realize it's Anti-racist.

**** if the suns had this version of Payne and Saric off the bench all year they wouldn't be fighting for a playoff spot, they'd be fighting for seeding.

I guarantee all the espn and news outlets talking **** about the suns is on the bulletin at every practice and team meeting. Suns are hungrier than every team they've played and are playing together.

Another game where our role players really stepped up to keep us in the game

Cam Johnson with another double-double! 14 points, 12 rebounds.

Considering this is our 1st 4 game win streak of Book's career. Yes.

You know, I don't know about that. But I do see a team getting better; younger players maturing. Rubio is such a steady hand.

Would be nice to have Baynes and Oubre for depth thats for sure

These 8 games are really good as they are pseudo playoff games. That should help build something for next year.

They were just waiting to talk about how Warren got revenge and scored 30+ on his old team.

Kind of like how Baynes started off well beginning of this year, teams will eventually figure out Payne a bit better and his numbers will dip. What could change that is having Oubre & Baynes come back, that would completely change how teams plan against our bench. Chaos will ensue and the Suns will continue winning by double figures.

Even if they don't make it the effort that they've shown is awesome and will spill over to next year. If they play like this next season, playoffs for sure- and a decent seed at that!

I gotta believe this is the Rubio-effect. Booker finally has someone he can trust and respect. The other starters, Ayton, Bridges, and Cam Johnson are rookies or 2nd years players. Think about that!!!

Even Booker is still younger than some of this year's rookies (e.g. Brandon Clarke, Cam Johnson). It's even more impressive what this team has been doing when you consider the player's ages.

True. This is the most wins we've had in the Booker era though

Damn ... Booker wearing a Lakers sweatshirt in the post-game interview.
