Thank you Avatar and Sig master!

About time you got an avatar. I can give people avatar links too but don't know how to create the sigs I don't think.

Yeah we should inject drama queen hostage-taking attention whore cancers like Durant or Anthony Davis to this team after it looks like, for the first time in literally years, they seem like they're playing like an actual team.

I can see why one could see Davis is that light but when and where did KD earn that reputation in your opinion?

Anyone going to the game tonight? I just bought tix on Stubhub. Excited to see kawhi in person for the first time!

So how was it? I have noticed you don't see to be a Suns fan over your posting on the GB, despite living in Scottsdale from what you've said. Not sure if you grew up in the Phx area or moved there or saw the SSOl team in HS or college, or simply don't want to be a fan of a bad team or admit to hoping they turn it around so you can be one.

But how did they look to you? Was it impressive? Or did you more enjoy seeing Kawhi in person?

Yep - I'm not from Phoenix originally. Went to U of A and moved up here but I still root for the Suns just not die-hard. I go to a handful of games a year - it's actually been nice they haven't been great lately since the tix are affordable (sorry fellas)

The best thing about the Suns is that we are YOUNG! Oubre, Cam, Booker, Ayton, Carter, Bridges are all under the age of 25. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but IF we make the playoffs this year... we make the playoffs for the next 5! Think about that for a minute. Just wow. Super happy and impressed with the first 3 games this year. Here's to keeping it up!

Oh, and Booker looks like a 1st team all-star to me. Leadership, skills, big shots. Glad he is a Sun!

Just my own little personal 'Age Threshold', I tend to believe anyone under the age of 28, likely has 5 more good years left in them, so looking at it in this light, we only have Rubio (just turned 29, so a good 3+ seasons left in his 'system'), and Baynes, (32, and not really expected to be a starter anyway), are really be considered to be 'not young', in my eyes, at least. Our entire team is younger than Dragic--let that sink in, a minute.

Anyway, I am obviously impressed, as most all other Suns fans are, in this kind of start to the season. I am 'cautiously optimistic' that we can hold down the fort for the 'worst case scenario 25-gm absence', and if we can just be somewhere around 11-15 or 12-14, by the time Ayton comes back, and assuming he stays healthy, maybe we actually can 'shock the world' with a winning season.

I think, aside from having and actual respectable PG position for the first time in 4 years, having talented 'bigs' is a huge Boon to our success...Saric, Frank, Baynes...that's a far cry from Bender, Anderson, Chandler...

We were missing talent at the PG and PF positions...no Suns fan would debate this point. And with these two positions shored up, it doesn't really matter how successful we were, on the surface, with our draft/FA decisions, that were consistently criticized for...

Somehow, despite the initial questionable way Jones went about talent acquisition this off-season, the point is, we plugged holes, and found a way to do it successfully.

Am I the only one that is picking up the indirect speculation that Doc gifted this win to us by benching Kawhi in the fourth for a few minutes?

We earned this win through team play and heart.

No coach gifts wins. I did see some wondering why he was benched...I'm sure he had a reason. We led pretty much the whole game.

I was seated behind the Clippers bench, so I could see a lot of Doc's and Kawhi's emotions throughout this game. Doc definitely did NOT gift us a win. He was pretty pissed honestly and Kawhi was annoyed too. I thought it was strange that Kawhi sat near the end of the 4th, but looking at his minutes this year, he's played 32 (LAL), 21 (GSW), and 32 (PHX) minutes. I think he might be on somewhat of a minutes restriction.

There was a interview with Doc, he said he thought the game was over so he didn’t want to push Kawhi.
