Why Phoenix crowd was booing CP3? Because he got selected to the all star game and not Booker?

If we do choose to upgrade the roster, I would be ok with someone taking Diallo’s minutes. Maybe Ferguson gets them if he ever comes back.

Pretty impressive to win this game despite playing so poorly. This just felt like a game they were going go lose but they stayed close. I’m sure everyone is ready for a nice break.

I think so.

Very nice comeback. Felt like they were behind all night. Nice close to a very strong month. Now they get some much deserved time off. This team has basically played at the same winning rate as the LAC since the first week of the season ended. That is definitely noteworthy.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

Boy, those hindsight is 20/20 counterfactuals aren't worth a nickel, but that said, you can't help but wonder what Phoenix would look like with Luka along with Booker.

It makes me pause when evaluating some of these you guys who get labeled as putting up “empty stats”. Booker finally gets a pg and a decent coach and plays much better on the offensive end. Could a guy like Lavine do the same thing? I dont know if billy is the guy to bring out the best in him but clearly talent is there.

5 days til we play the Cavs at home. Hopefully that gives Steven some time to rejuvinate.
