Ran out of work so sitting in my car getting paid time and a half to watch the first half before I can clock out and go home. Working Sundays isn't always awful.

Nurk has been a dog all game.And I don't mean that in a good way.

I know I'm late and all, but I expected more commentary than this.

Trash. Scoot is trash and it's a shame they effectively wasted a high pick for him.

Sheesh terrible final possession. Ran down the clock with like 4s left and then we get a lucky offensive rebound only to forget there was a second left on the clock

He reminds me of a shorter Josh Jackson.

Yep

Has all the athletic and physical tools. Just none of the smarts

Definitely not the guy you want to be remembered against.

It was a meh game that we had under control all game long other than the start of the 3rd quarter.

Tyus is scoring more lately and is really helpful for us as a third scorer with Beal out.

Nurkic started bad but had a great 2nd half.

It was an easy game, with this W we are already 6th. Keep climbing, 6th now.

Let's thank for the gift called Tyus Jones who compensates the deficiencies of Big 3 (Big 1.5 in this game) - availability, taking care of the ball, 3PT shooting. Without him I'm not sure Suns will be in the playin right now.

It's amazing that we could signing him for the minimum, his contract is a truly bargain.

Need to capitalize on it and get the best out of this team before he's gone next season. IMO this means bringing Beal off the bench. Another game that shows Tyus, Booker and Royce perform better when he's out.

Jones is gone after this season, but wonder if Morris is retainable.

Shout out to O'Neal as well. That signing was actually criticized by quite a few as an overpay, but now it looks like Royce is on one of the best role player contracts in the league.

Absolutely.

The guy is one of the best 3&D wings and a known commodity in the league and we got him for a few 2nds and then we signed him on a $11M per year contract. Nice job by James Jones.
