Beal when he's not scoring doesn't seem to impact the game at all.


Bridges is a top 20 player. He's better than Beal now even when Beal is scoring.


Bridges cares , I never saw Beal being pissed or angry after a loss when with Wizards , only smirks or total don’t give a F emotions

the problem is that suns would have needed a scoring defensive big as part of their big 3.
nurkic is nice, but nothing to fear for oppsing teams.
booker, beal and durant are redundant in terms of play style. there are not eonough shots for each of them. he odd man out is beal.
Ishiba is a BUSINESS MAN!

No need to freak out though. Even if we lose we will still be a top 10 team in the west.

Regardless of that he's just better. Bridges is an elite defender and a good scorer on his own with improving off the dribble game. He's Kawhi light.

Not bad. When you have a shot at play-in everything is peachy. Just win your play-in game and see what you can do in the playoffs. ;)

You have not seen us this year. We are one of the worst 4th quarter teams imagineable. Last night we nearly blew a 13 point lead with like 3 minutes left.

When Nurk goes up for a shot in the post I swear he aint even aiming that thing. Just flails it up there.

You’re being too modest. Here’s my take, if it’s close in 4th the Suns will commit three straight turnovers losing by a single point on a Bridges or CamJ game winner.

The Suns realizing there isn't a true rim protector and relentlessly attacking the rim is the best thing we have done in months

Feel like we always need Booker to have a huge game to win.

We never told ArksNets that CP3 is no longer on our team and we aren’t clutch in crunch time.

Right now, we are as likely to chuck the ball directly to Cam under the hoop as hit a game winner.
