When Booker finds his groove, this team is going to be scary.

But we will be up at least 10 going into halftime with Paul and Ayton coming back in.


Ez win by 20.

Bad half for us in terms of how good I think we are.

Held Jazz to 40 points by halftime. Suns playing that 90s style defense. Nothing easy baby!!!

Ball movement is putting role players in position to make shots.

Centers 1 of 9 but owning the perimeter on both ends.

Crowder signing is looking like he's delivering on those team intangibles on defense.

DA is so frustrating offensively but I guess this is who he is. We drafted Rudy Gobert with “a middy”. Any points he gets is a bonus, just play defense and rebound

Refs may suck but they still allowing us with a comfortable lead. That may change though in the next half.

it is good that the team does not have to rely on booker this much.

Feels good to not be getting a train ran on us in Utah for once.Hopefully we can stay consistent in the 2nd half.Just imagine if Book was on and Ayton played like he was worthy of the #1 overall pick? We'd be back in full force!

I'd like to see our perimeter guys work on lobs with Ayton. He's had some clear lanes to the basket, but no one seems to be able to toss him the ball.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

This team is so good defensively that we can just score here and there and be up in any game.

Crowder can defend anyone. I mean, he was on Conley in the last play and he defended him perfectly. So difficult to take any advantage on him.

Bridges is making a heck of a job stopping Mitchell.

Booker playing a nice game so far. 4 assists already.

Definitely. We've had 5 years to learn that's not a winning recipe.

Yeah, Ayton struggles against Gobert..though a lot of people do. At least he's rebounding well.
