Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Book + KD = win. Nuggets, Mavs lose. All good results for WC standings. MIN and OKC don't scare me with HC advantage in the playoffs.

Little bit disappointed with how the game itself actually went. Would've liked a larger victory but a win is always nice.

I think the 2021 team would cream us right now not so much to do with talent but system, we've got 60 games to keep progressing.

We won a game on FT differential? Not something I'm used to seeing in the last 30 years while I've been a Suns fan.
Fugly, but I'll take it. Just get it together without injuries in the new year...

What a boring game, the game was basically over with 3 minutes left but the Grizzlies didn't stop fouling and get some quick baskets.
Timeout after timeout the game was eternal in the fourth but the game never was in jeopardy.
Norwell and William kept fouling all game long to KD and Book...what the hell was that? TERRIBLE defense, but that's what they have with all those injured players.
KD with 27 points on 14 shots and Book with his typical 34/10/7. NOICE.

Okogie, Little, Watanabe, Bates-Diop are so inconsistent and Eubanks is doing nothing lately too.
These guys are all role players, like 4th/5th starter types at best.
They were signed to play alongside the big 3, since the big 3 has yet to play a game together I don't expect them to look great.
End of the day we need KD Book and Beal all healthy if we want to contend for a title. There are teams with better 4-12 guys than us

Yeah but I'm not totally sold on Booker at least drawing a lot of fouls because his game isn't really built on finishing at the rim which are the type of plays that generally end up getting foul calls. Still think we need a slasher like Oubre or Maxey but I don't think there is a trade target for players like that this season.

For people expecting blow outs just because we are playing a subpar team, let's just all remind ourselves that the dominant 64 win Suns that was a well-oiled machine, was deep and had the luck of being relatively healthy all season, still had 42 games that went down to the wire. We were good enough and confident enough to win almost 80% of those clutch games because CP3 was a Point God and Book was a legit MVP calibre guy but even a team that wins 64 games only blew out teams in 16 games. 16 of 64 wins were blow outs, everything else were solid or clutch wins. That's 25% of wins. The all time great regular season juggernaut that was the 73 win Warriors had 27 blows out in 73 wins, which equates to around 37%
We have 12 wins this season so far and we've blown out 3 teams. That's 25% of wins.
Some of you have to reset your expectations of blow outs because they don't just happen because you play a bad team. There's a higher chance against a bad team but it's not a foregone conclusion
