Didn't realize the last 2 minute report said Morant traveled on his game winner. Good times!

Remember when Steph Curry got away with like 10 travels that led to who knows how many points? Also, good times.

Bane 3-11 and 0-4 from 3 against the Lakers at halftime. Grizzlies down 6 at home to a super old ass LAL team on the second night of b2b.

Go figure lol.

Yeah, he's really streaky. I have him in fantasy and he will go 2-15 and then 11-14 the next game and vice versa.

Nice block by Jalen Smith there. Glad to see him get an opportunity again. Perhaps he'll be able to carve out a role with the team after all.

Emanuel Terry on the bench. I didn't know we had brought him in.

Booker's 3 this season has been such a pleasant surprise. He's won the 3 point contest but in-game his 3's have been very lackluster where I just always assume he would miss. This season though... he's hitting em.

Roby looks like a ten year old kid that someone superimposed their face onto an adult body.

Book having himself a game. Kind of want them to just keep running screens for him for 3s. He's hitting them well.

We're still having struggles closing teams out it seems. Book throwing up wild shots, at least we're rebounding better. Defensive rotations are still an issue. Our energy is somewhat better, But we still lack that sense of urgency, that killer instinct of true championship teams. Hopefully we open the game up heading into the 4th. Our post/ rim protection definitely also needs to improve, as we're giving up free drives right to the rim.

Ty Jerome looks like an NBA player to me.

So does Jalen Smith.

I was about to say... if they don't review that, the officiating is bull****, cause they review those instantly when the Suns commit them.

Suns are making Ty Jerome look good. Last time I saw him play on the Suns he couldn’t even dribble the ball with a defender in front of him.

For the season he’s shooting 38% from the field and 27% from 3.

Suns honestly just feel like they're bored and just going through the motions, which is concerning to see. Mid-season wall for sure.

This is pathetic they don't even have SGA or Giddey. Plus Dort has done nothing

Return to Phoenix Suns
