Kinda crazy how good you can be with only a decent motor and hard work.
Please don't ever draft guys who literally don't care. I beg mr. Ishbia

We could definitely use this win if we can hold on. Seems like a few of the mid pack teams are waffling and that opens the window for us to get back into the mix.

Refs desperately want to hand this game to the Pacers.

Wow how isn't that a charge?

NBA rules favor the offensive player way too much!

i was skeptical about having Cam sit this one out instead tomorrow's because this is a more winnable game by far, but the gambit paid off i guess. guaranteed a .500 week

Great team effort. Mikal almost lost the game low IQ selfish play didnt run the shot clock when 50s left game and Suns up 6.

Crazy that we are a half-game back of 6th with how TERRIBLE we've looked since early December. A month and a half of throwback 11 year playoff slump territory Suns basketball, but they're still in the mix. Weird season. Happy with the win!

HUGE WIN!

Winning with seven of our top eight players out is ridiculous, not too many teams can do it.

Two wins in a row and we are in a much better position than a few days ago, and there are 35 games yet. The sky is the limit.

Okogie and Mikal players of the game.

I don't understand referring at games anymore.

Refs can fabricate a "no-charge zone" review to overturn a completely separate call, but when the call on Saben Lee was reviewed for
a flagrant, the refs can't call the two obvious fouls by Hield leading up to it?

Apparently, you can push off a player a defending player when driving to the basket and get a foul called on him??? Even after review? that might be the most blatant missed review I've ever seen.

I think that move is known as the "Paul George special"! :-?

I know a lot of people are down about the Suns, but I think Suns have as good a shot as anyone at a championship this year. It all comes down to health. I mean last year we were healthy all season, won 63 games and then gassed out in the playoffs. Meanwhile the Celtics were 23-23 this time last year. Then they ended up losing only 7 of their remaining 24 games and made it to the Finals.

I look at the top 4 teams in the West right now being the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Kings and Pelicans, and I'm really mostly only concerned for the Pelicans. I think Grizzlies are tough too, but if the Suns were healthy, and I think Suns end up making a trade before the deadline that will help the bench significantly, I think we could take the Grizzlies in a 7 game series. We will see though.

Absolutely.

There are around 10 teams that can win it all this year and we are one of them. No doubt about it.
