Scoot back to the bench, Grant back in with Ant\Ayton, stupid, but that is pretty typical for this front office

I wonder how long Deni is going to get away with those obvious pushes, he’s not the only player who does it, but he doesn’t have a big name like a lot of other players do

Reath assigned to the G league is an odd choice?

RW3, not suited up tonight, I didn’t see anything on an injury report. Again, for a player who they seem to value so much, they sure are not playing him.

Scoot’s 3pt shooting lately has been good thing to see, he keeps this up m, the sky is the limit

Nice drive, nice decision by Scoot for the lay in

Scoot with a strong game so far tonight

Right hand soreness for RW3, lol

I will be surprised if he’s not dead at the trade deadline, then again with Cronin who knows

Clingan’s unwillingness to shoot/be aggressive on offense is a problem, he’s just a rookie, but he needs to seriously work on his offense because right now no team takes him seriously on that end

Avdija with a physical and 1

Scoot’s passing tonight is on point

Booker loses the dribble, regains it, and then gets fouled, talk about good luck

Good pass by Simons to Murray

Blazers with the #3 defense in the NBA in the past couple weeks, and up to number 17 on offense in that same span. I guess you're going to beat some teams if you play that way.

Still completely against these meaningless wins, although I like seeing strong continued play be Scoot, Camara and Deni...I think I guessed 18-21 wins on the season, so they've beat my guess.

The way they are playing, you would think that Ayton and Camara have something to prove tonight

Not sure what the goal of this team is this year? I don’t think they’re as good as they are playing right now, and they’re totally screwing up their future, but they are taking PHX to the woodshed right now. Certainly playing with a lot of confidence. I don’t believe it’s sustainable though.

Clingan really looks like he has regressed as the season has progressed

Does nobody from another team ever box out Camara?

By now, you would think they might have a scouting report about him?

I mean Sharpe is a sub 32% 3pt shooter and he is 3/4 tonight

Ayton playing like no one has watched him for the last year and a half a$$ it, he will regress to the mean eventually

But screw this game, Luka to LAL, AD to DAL, did Shams get hacked? Holy crap!

One would obviously much rather see the young guys playing more minutes but this team definitely flipped a switch unlike anything we've seen in a few years so at least there's some life in the franchise

He needs something to bitch about and right now when the team started winning once Sharpe went to the bench, his know-it-all ego has taken a hit.
