Getting contributions from others especially Harris and Suggs. We're turning them over and converting and also been good on the boards in the 1st half.

I think we all have to wrap our heads around this team is going to win by being a top 5 defense and winning ugly. It’s not always as fun and if Paolo can get it going we might be better offensively.

Every night it's someone new stepping up. The rooks are going to rot on the bench for a while I fear.

I wish I could find the clip of Suggs saying he was a bad mother f-bomb on the post-game interview

Suggs has 'it'. Give it some time. I don't expect this every game but he definitely has shown it

Watch on YouTube

He does little things here and there and then seems to always get a late bucket when the team needs it. But he's been scrappy which is something he's never had a chance to show I guess.

Say what you will about Suggs shooting, he has confidence and that's half the battle.... Paolo needs to get that back, he's HIM but something is off with him..... Maybe it is the hand

Yeah I'm worried about that. Joe Ingles hasn't shown me much so far, I'd like to give the rooks some of his minutes.

Just not in the rotation right now.

His time will come soon enough. Ingles is probably playing his way out of the mix.

It’s an absolute travesty if Suggs isn’t in all defense conversations

He shuts every matchup down

Waiting to see what happens with Fultz first. AB is behind Fultz and Cole on the depth chart

Suggs defense is otherworldly. You just can't take him out of the starting lineup. Please please become a great shooter Suggs. Please :cry:

I feel silly i wanted to trade Gary away, he's balling out in La. Yo and Suggs defense is stupid good right now.

Agreed. That's why I think we need to force things with him, get him a big game under his belt. Unless he's injured, in which case we need to just wait it out I guess.

Hot take: Isaac will be out of the rotation before Ingles or Harris. Isaac has become a black hole on offense and his defense hasn’t been enough of a difference maker.

Post #420 » by **Knightro** » Tue Oct 31, 2023 3:48 am

At the risk of jinxing him, Suggs has just 1 turnover in 2.5 games.

Not bad for a guy who has been deemed out of control many times over.
