Yay, another meaningless win where we rode our vets heavy minutes at the expense of our young players. Clearly we are gunning for that 8th spot. Exactly what our GM said he did not want to see happen :roll:

Bledsoe is beasting.
That knuckleball layup was just insane.

Book hitting his shots, trying hard to be in front of his man.

Tucker sealed this game for us... great 1x1 defense and amazing hustle on the boards

Great game! This team has really started playing some serious basketball lately.

I love winning but I don't know how to feel about the last two games.

Unpopular opinion: EJ sucks and I prefer listening to the non-Suns commentary (sans a few teams)

Lol, all the tankers come out of hiding post game. That was a good win, don't get it twisted.

I always switch or try to get the other teams broadcast, I just prefer to hear their perspective on our players. EJ tends to give them the benefit of the doubt too much for my taste.

Yeah, it's tough. If we don win, I'd rather see it because of the young guys, but Bledsoe and Booker were impressive and these road wins against playoff team are probably confidence builders, and this game likely bolstered Tucker's trade value.

The good thing is, Dallas and Philly are playing well too, and Miami pretty well, and the draft is so deep, we will probably get a high quality player if we are anywhere in the top 7 or 8.

Suns are playing better and Chriss, Bender are contributing with Booker looking like a star again. This was a good win.

Can we asterisk this game by saying the Raps are playing like B__A____s. Bledsoe > Lowry. Tonight anyway.

Good win, fun game to watch by us. PJ showing his value to any team in the East that needs someone to pester Demar in the playoffs, and Knight played a decent enough game as well. Bledsoe is a stud, he would be a franchise point guard if he could be trusted to stay healthy.

Bender didn't get playing time because he hurt his ankle but he did alright in that time, and the Raptors were going big a lot with Chriss not hitting his shot so he didn't get a lot of extra PT. That alley oop was amazing though, absolutely crazy.

I thought I was the only one that disliked EJ? He was great when he first replaced Majerle but somewhere along the way it became about him. All this "I told him", or "I used to" crap really gets old. He's knowledgable and he's well spoken but he needs to get his ego fix somewhere else and quit trying to take credit for everything. I watch our telecast about half the time and go the other way the other 40 games or so for several years now.

Crazy that we won considering the FT discrepancy before the 4th quarter started. We played lock down defense in the 4th and the Raptors guards weren't able to hit shots. Good all around game by every player (even Knight).
