Just got done watching the 7min highlight on House of Highlights.

There's some real chemistry brewing here between these bench/role players. They're out there busting their collective ass and nonstop hustling - that can become contagious!

D-Dub Jr ......... where did this man come from? He was out there eating peoples' lunch I mean fall away corner 3's? Why did the Grizz have Steven Adams on him so much of the game? LOL

Very impressive win all things considered.

He put up 31 in the last 2 games playing solid D stop with hate.. you rip on all the players all the time I don't get it are you really a fan or just hear to bitch and complain

LMAO. Good morning. I definitely don’t “rip” on all the players all the time. Just the bad ones. Shamet, landale and lately Bridges.
Get it right. Don’t start telling lies.
Shamet must be your favorite player. Sorry I hurt your feelings. Your favorite player is extremely streaky.
I just don’t like him. His last 2 games don’t mean anything to me. Both Ls.
He just got embarrassed on Christmas. Gordon humiliated him and to make it worse that foul lost us the game. Really good defense. Must be playing D for the other teams.
Don’t mistake hyperactivity for being a solid defender.
Happy for the win though.
Of course I’m a fan but don’t really care what u think. Cuz any true Suns fan wouldn’t want Shamet to play. He’s awful.
If Landry can keep playing like he has his past 2 games while Booker is out I’ll give him his credit.
I just don’t see him as being capable of consistent shooting. I rather Okogie or DWJ play over him.


I don't have time for ridiculous takes he was the Suns best player on Christmas he was neither embarrassed or humiliated because he got dunked on. It was a bang bang play that shouldn't have been reviewed and he made the right play other than that he carried the team offensively. Get it right.

And okogie is great on D and hustle but isn't an offensive threat , Dwash could be good but haven't seen enough yet. All these guys should get some run likely Book is out for a month.

Pretty crazy Steven Adams hasn't turned 30 yet.

AWESOME performance last night. I've been waiting for this game from the Suns since things started to go south this season. Effort. Hustle. Heart. Fight. CONFIDENCE. We were finally the predator again. I love how aggressive Okogie is. I know Shamet had some good shooting games recently but I'd really prefer Okogie to get those minutes, particularly once everyone is healthy again. Not accounting for any trades this seems like the most balanced lineup as of the moment, although if that Washington we saw yesterday will reliably show up we have to find him some minutes:

Ayton\Biyombo
Craig\JamJo
Mikal\Lee
Book\Okogie
Paul\Payne

JamJo can still finish games if he's hot, either replacing Craig or Mikal (if Mikal is hurt he needs to sit, but he hasn't been great lately). But having his offense off the bench would help. I don't know how long this version of Craig will hold up but it's exactly what we need from a role playing 4. It will never happen but we'd probably be better off starting Payne over CP for multiple reasons. But I'd still want CP out there to close games.

I know, Landale is nothing but a saint. Just look at my avatar he looks so innocent and hunky I can’t believe there are haters out there.
