If he can shoot 33%+ from 3 he can change game results.


He was shooting 45.5% from 3 for us coming into this game. Over 39% on the season including with the Bucks.

Definitely an upgrade to Nader. Nader was all effort, not enough talent. Craig matches the effort, but it looks more effortless. He's just a solid role player off the bench.

Yeah that's a great description.

Hope we can keep him.

Always liked Craig on the Nuggets, just didn't understand the move when the Suns made it, but I'm definitely okay with it. Definitely thought they had another move in the works, and maybe they did and we just didn't hear about it.

Love both of them. I think playing them together for 3-5 minutes at a time might be a pretty potent combo, especially when we need an energy lift.

Kind of prefer the game staying at a single digit lead. Too used to the Suns giving up big leads.

Keep looking for Ayton, we tend to stop after the first 6 minutes.

Bookers shot selection has been abysmal since he won that player of the month.

Some good team should have swooped in and got Cappella last year, dudes good on a very reasonable contract.

Nice half, not sure why we stop going to Ayton after the 1st Q.

Bridges, Craig, Crowder giving Young a tough time with size.

It's been almost metronomic lately...

Early
+6
+8
+14
+5
+3
+9
+12
Half...closer +1...+4/+5ish
+8
+13
+6
+2
-1
+3
+7
Fourth
+9
+8
+5
+9
+13
@6 Minute Mark, Suns go completely "derrr hoot" and forget everything that got them to this point...Paul/Booker ISOs ending with low chance heaves....or miss every wide open mid/long jumper or bunnie given. Hair-pulling, frustrating, but ....
+11
+9
+5
+4
2 Minute Mark
2nd late, lame turnover, followed by opponent (thankfully) returning the favor
+1
=
+3
WIN 4 outta 5 this way

Rinse-Repeat

Return to Phoenix Suns
