It may be just one game but the Suns looked good!

Sure it's the Mavs, and they have more than a few issues to say the least, but Booker lit it up, I was made fun of a few months back on here saying the Suns could challenge for an 8 seed, tonight they looked the part. As the season continues, I'm sure they'll only improve.

Posted this in the GDT but this lineup of theirs:

Booker
Jackson
Ariza
Warren
Ayton

has a chance to do some real damage if they keep developing together.

In Koko we trust.

They have a good future. They scored on Booker and got Top 4 in the lotto 3 years in a row.

Even if they've been mis-managed, they've collected assets. At some point, you'll be good just because of that.

Pfft… they better be good... they stole Igor Kokoskov from us.

As a Suns fan, I have not watched such a fun game since Nash was here.

Booker and Ayton are the real deal.

But I am not sure our wings (Ariza, JJ, TJ) can be counted on to all have great games consistently. One can only hope.

They did. And Ayton looked better than Doncic. Currently. He's just gonna get better too. Booker is a star and for everyone here who says he's underrated... you don't watch the Suns. Which... if you don't watch the Suns, I don't blame you.

so many people will regret mocking his contract, because it was never really about the actual number, but the idea that we want Booker to be the guy for us. Injured hand and all, he clearly demonstrated that he wants that challenge and can actually deliver. If he keeps this up and stays with the Suns, $158mil is a bargain.

Wrote this in the game thread:

Never ever ever underestimate Igor freaking Kokoskov. Give him some real talent (Booker, Ayton) together with some role-players who know what they're supposed to do, and watch magic happen.

The guy is an offensive genius. What he did with Slovenia was spectacular and it wasn't a fluke, he knows his stuff and is amazing at developing young players. Gone are the days of trash coaching for the Suns.

Booker and Ayton are the future and the future looks pretty bright for them. Really excited to watch them grow. It's just one game so it's hard to predict the rest of the season, but with Koko guiding them I feel like they'll be alright- they're so young, they can take their time. And hey, if they land another top pick and add a solid PG...

Mavs suckkkkkkeeedd

Primary thoughts were that the Mavs are going to be one of the worst teams in the league.

Higgs Boston · Post #17 » by **Higgs Boston** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 5:28 am

If they had a starting calibre PG I think they would be competing for playoffs.

I found myself getting frustrated a few times that they could not exploit mismatches on Ayton; but can't argue when the shots are dropping. I really think Ayton and Booker will be a problem for a looooong time.

Want an overreaction? The Mavs might keep their pick this year.

Not an overreaction, if I stated in the op that it is, in fact one game.
