The past couple of weeks for Chriss still gives me hope that can also happen for Bender and Jackson in the future.

He's gone from a lazy defender in college to winning us games with huge blocks.

Wow! What a game!

Book, TJ, Chriss 2-3-4!

...but fellas...this was against the worst team in the league. I'm proud of our guys, but remember who we played.

Warren just wickedly efficient at two point shots ... 31 points on 0 free throws and 1 three pointer :-o

They are not the worst team for the last two weeks, they have won three out of the last four.

They have veterans and they are well coached.

Unbelievable. Chriss has been impressive lately. Great game from Warren and solid game from Booker, particularly down the stretch.

What does that have to do with Devin and TJ? Also, Chriss has looked like **** no matter who we have played....Chriss looked good regardless.

Chriss with his best game as a Sun?

That's my favorite game of the year so far. Book, TJ, Chriss all shining. So good.

The best part was when Hawks were up 12 and the announcers were calling it a W. Good job, boys. On to the next one. We're undefeated in the New Year!

Amazing we can win with 21 turnovers, giving up 17 offensive rebounds, and missing 8 free throws.

What was great about this one is that our stars won the game and you can see Booker and Warren being 2 of a Big 4 that can compete for a championship.

If not the best, one of the best for sure. That late block was a thing of beauty.

It was great to watch Book, Warren and Chandler going to Chriss to celebrate the win. All of them wanted to give him props.

Lol....We finally look like we are growing....JJ, Chris, Bender, and Booker are babies.....

Chriss (I was/I’m a big hater of him) is sooooooo athletic and twitchy. If he can continue to develop with a few post moves and shoot that smooth 3?!?

Feels good winning games in bunches, Booker is a GOD

No need to rush him.....

I was not at all upset. JJ has some work to do. He has the skills, I really believe that.

JJ=slow down and improve shot
Chriss=right attitude and b-ball IQ improvement increase work ethic. Post moves
Bender=get stronger and shoot the 3 alas Channing Frye

So I do want to say while Chriss did make an incredible game-saving block he had a lapse on defense right then when Prince slipped the screen. Schroder also made the slowest lob pass in the history of lob passes which enabled Chriss to recover and block the shot. Chriss is trending upward right now (not that he could have been playing any worse since the beginning of the season).

Another thing, someone mentioned the Hawks are the worst team in the league, well that's cool but they still beat the Cavs, lost to the Celtics by 3, Pelicans by 1, beat the Knicks, Heat, lost to the Thunder by 3, beat the Wizards (yes Wall/Beal/Porter were all playing), and beat the Blazers. They have a solid coach and veterans like someone else mentioned. I'm happy that we continue to pull out wins, even against the worst teams in the league. In this league, even the best teams can be outplayed in the regular season.
