Mikal Bridges looking like a championship level 3rd option...Just have to find a #1 option level player now

Insane W. I'm so hyped right now it is crazy. After yesterday i was expecting a blow out loss but this guys want to win so bad. I'm proud of this team it's not easy to win after yesterday especially against Pacers. Finally the game we were all expecting from Book. Great game from Cam,Carter and Paul. Sabonis was destroying Ayton last year but he played great defense against him, AND OF COURSE MIKAL BRIDGES IS THE GOAT LET'S F--N GO BABY!

Ayton not so well either. Despite him not dunking nearly as much this year as the last two years (a little less than half as many times per FGA), he still had his highest FG% coming in...especially compared to last year, where he had more dunks per game than as a rookie even.

Suns corrected two huge weaknesses from other game which was TO's (20) to 2 tonight & free throw 17/17 100 ( 6/13 46% vs pistons).

33 assists to just 3 turnovers is super impressive.

Proof that the Detroit failure of a game was the outlier, hopefully.

There appeared to be a significant change in where the shots were coming from once the zone defense happened. We went the drives to draw the defensive sag before looking to kick it out if there was a shooter available, or take the drive shot if the sag didn't happen.

That didn't happen last night.

Much better coaching tonight. Kept the hot hands going and pulled the cold/cooling ones at the appropriate times.

We are good, but people were already voting in a recent poll like they expect us to get to the WCF, so I suppose they get pissed off when we don't look like a WCF team, which frankly, is odd after the last 10 years. It's kind of like being pissed at Ayton because he's not David Robinson yet (not that he ever will be).

I'm very happy with 7-3 start. If that carries over for the rest of the season we've got 50+ wins.

Why do you have to bring him down?

Ayton is getting better defensively.

Return to Phoenix Suns
