March reporting in

23-11

Guessing a 2-27 stretch is incoming

It can get pretty ugly if the Suns have to play 29 games in the 23 days(not including all-star break).

one of the most overlooked aspects of the Suns is their depth, and yes that tightens up in the playoffs and you don't use as many players but to be able to go two deep and change on the fly depending on match ups is a huge advantage. Kaminsky started most of last week and didn't even play tonight, Galloway and Carter played a lot and Moore none at the beginning of the season now Moore and Nader play and Carter and Galloway don't. The other thing is they all seem ok with it and chemistry is good, you see a lot of players that aren't playing engaged and cheering on the side lines, Monty isn't getting enough credit so far.

Its fair to bump this thread.

Suns fans have endured a lot in the last 10 years. We should be able to enjoy this moment.

What moment?

Leading the division this late in the season?
2nd best record in the NBA.

Even if just 'for the moment'.
Didn't think it was that hard to understand what the poster was talking about.

You didn't quote anything so I thought the comment stood alone. With that being said, I don't blame you.... Enjoy it!

It’s time to start discussing Chris Paul as not only one of the best and most portable offensive players of all time, but one of the most transformative defensive players of all time. Everywhere he goes, the team gets substantially better on both ends, even if he’s not prime Gary Payton as a man defender.

He's one of the best I have ever seen. So many little things and he still is a great athlete. You can see him communicating on the floor directing guys too if you look closely. He's like Marc Gasol in that way. He adds more than it appears. Except of course he is exceptionally productive still in every other way too. I kinda hope he wins one this year.

I recall 1 game this year, Book had a good game, but down the stretch was clankin. Just throwin up bricks. One after another. And the game was gettin away from them. CP3 called for the ball, stared at Book, as if to say Damn it, give me the rock, ill control the game from this point on out. You Fkn it up!
From that point Book then understood, what late game execution means. Not jackin up shots every 3 seconds. But slowing pace and organizing a True posession. CP3s veteran influence has been bigtime

Lakers are cruising, with LBJ/AD/Schroeder at full force playoff mode, and role players hustling, it's a different story, I will never count Kawhi/PG out, I think you're wrong on them, but Suns, especially if Booker focuses on scoring and lets CP3 run the show, are very dangerous.
No one is safe in the west, not with Utah playing like they do, Mavs can turn it on defense and surprise or Lillard catching fire.

He’s the best since Magic from the point guard position that I’ve ever seen. Their leadership qualities alone puts them in a league of their own.

How can anyone over the age of 12 or so still put any stock into regular season young teams beating lebron in the playoffs? Where have you been the past decade? Only exception are the 2015 warriors and they had an NBA altering legend and two major injuries had to occur.
