Is it better to be lucky than good??
Surely this was not the nightmarish nuggets team that we all know and have come to loathe vehemently! STILL..............
Aside from their resurgent 4th quarter (and some 3rd quarter) struggles, this was a really solid win for them to take yet another step in the right direction in becoming a legit title contender by hanging in there, playing tough, and finishing off a very tough proven championship team that was struggling instead of playing down to them and giving away another critical game late! Congrats to the suns on a tough and well earned win!!!
Now let's keep this energy and toughness going so we have something to build on going forward.

What a beautiful game.
KD played better than Jokic and that is the fact. Grayson awesome match , 8/8 in a while from 3, wow I think no one excepting especially when he struggle last couple matches.
Beal makes huge threes , but let be honest. If u remove this two threes , he played very bad. He isn’t in form.
Nurk like a Nurk. He had foul trouble very quickly and we must playing more minutes with Drew who handle with this situations
Saben monster dunk and he would be okey such as player for 5-10 min. He can handle the ball , in O and D he is weakly , but if you have around himself players like KD and Beal in O , this can hide and in D whole out team playing poorly.
Roddy on the court wtf ? Where is Tad ? I think we should try TJ Warren sing and he will be better than Roddy.
I sad to write this , but Gordon was a trash. He shoot airball from open three and 1/7 FG.
Very huge minus on this team for loss + 22. Our coaching stuff and players should analyze why we stopping on this game and Denver come back from that different. I know, that we played without Booker and on the guest , but this shouldn’t never happened.

Had KD missed that tying 3, Suns twitter/media would be talking about how we couldn't hold on and blew another 4th quarter lead.
These are still the types of games we've had so many times this year. A quarter or 2 of 'this is what we can be', and then a quarter or 2 of 'this is who we are'.
I really hope this is a turning point but we still need to figure so much out.

Also, DAMN KD (and anyone really), if you are near a baseline and waiting for a pass, MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT STANDING OUT OF BOUNDS!!! As unforced of a turnover as you'll ever see.

We’ve been saying same statements throughout the season and it has yet come to fruition.

That a pretty tame response from some monsters after a big win. Serious. Vogel with a yawner of a rah rah. 123 Togetherrrrr.
What ? Me Worry ?

Hopefully behind the camera he addressed those stupid TOs and low IQ shots too. And why divide the players into stars and role players - Nurk and Allen have contributed a lot more than Beal so far.

Thought that was odd as well … three assassins and role players? Nothing there would indicate that Vogel inspires this team. Almost the opposite. Such a nonchalant response. Vogel is white noise.
Who is the locker room leader? Doobie Durant? Robot Book? Is there one?

Vogel's such a good speaker, uses the right challenges and has a proven track record as a coach
Then he'll come back next game and give us the Okogie Eubanks special to open the 2nd quarter which we will never recover from
I sure hope there is a method to his madness when it comes to bad lineups

Who is getting paid the max contracts? Players aren't stupid, you need a pecking order when it comes to forming a functional team
I applaud Vogel for that speech, cus Beal needs to stop acting like he's a role player here and play with some aggression. We didn't get him for $50m a season for him to play like he's Austin Reaves. He's a 30+PPG player

Suns media always posts these videos of Vogel after wins. They should do that after losses too. It'd be much more interesting

Honestly I think it's the same spiel win or lose, it's just too embarrassing to post these after a loss
Vogel doesn't have the chops to get stuck into KD and Book, or even Beal.
