Perfect gif. Face/off remains in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.

I barely remember it, been meaning to rewatch it. I know I went to see it in the theater when it came out though. Maybe I'll do that tonight after this probably awful Godzilla vs. Kong movie.



Let me know if Godzilla vs Kong is watchable cause I'm thinking of seeing it.

Ive probably watched face/off more than Independence day, coming 2 America, Avatar, MIB, Titanic (dont laugh), and few other movies. Nicholas Cage & Travolta are a hit in that movie.

It's PG-13, so I'm not expecting much, but hopefully at the least it's more entertaining than something like a Michael Bay explosion snorefest.

Godzilla vs kong looks terrible imo. I like good scripts and writing over explosions and cgi and w.e....Also why did you say Titanic dont laugh? That movie is one of the GOATS.

We now have 3 game lead over Cluppers in the loss column with 26 remaining games. That's the only team currently behind us that worries me of overtaking us for the 2nd seed. 2nd seed means facing Blazers, Spurs, Mavs or Grizzlies while 3rd could face Lakers or Nuggets.

so regarding the margin of wins the rest of the way, they're going to be all like this. something like 20-25 teams are still totally in the playoff race right now, so nobody is going to lay down for us. we're not going to be blowing teams out by 20 much going forward, but we need to keep winning.

I mean, I can't really complain about the Suns picking up Craig for free, and getting Nader as a throw-in in the Paul trade. I get that people would have preferred to have more size on our roster, but in all honesty - give me Graig over any of the bigs that were on the buy out market any day of the week, and although I really like what Nader has brought to the team Graig is easily an upgrade over him.

Can't fault JJ at all for getting the best players available, even if it means some roster congestion.

Cause many say titanic is too emotional and chicks watch it a ton that's why I made that comment.

As for Godzilla vs King if its similar to transformers with a ton of Michael Bay cgi like you've mentioned I may just skip it.

Yeah, I love him but a lot of those leave me scratching my head. I do love how he still, even after 5-6 games says after a torrey Craig basket "folks, I'm telling you, you think he's just defense, this young man can score too". Yeah eddie, we get it!

James Cameron movies were straight up gold until he started making films about sinking boats and blue aliens.

JC should have stuck with Arnold as his leading man and continue to pump out classics. He's cinemas equivalent of MJ leaving behind what he was great at to play minor league baseball.

Loved that baby hook from Ayton in the last few minutes. It seems like he has really worked on it and goes to that before the jumper. If he learns how to use them to set each other up it will really go a long way to developing his offense.

Torrey Craig gets an extra offensive rebound every 20 minutes compared to Abdel Nader.

What a fantastic win. We controlled the game since the first quarter and when they made a run we stayed calm and closed the game with a couple of nice offensive possessions.

On defense we played really well. Booker defended aggressively and Ayton bothered a lot of shots and Crowder was everywhere. He can switch on Trae Young and stay close to him, that's a beautiful in your starting PF.

CP3 did the play of the game. That steal and then the lob to Bridges was a joy to watch.

Nice to see Saric playing well again. He played a monster game.

This game showed us that we don't really need any other frontcourt player on our roster. Collins, Capela, Gallinari and Okongwu/Knight couldn't take any advantage of us around the paint. Crowder/Craig/Saric/Ayton played very well and won that battle for us.

I too wanted a big for the fouls and depth for Ayton and what not. But your last point is spot on - Jones got the better basketball player. And basically for free. So, you cannot fault Jones for getting Craig. Monty said they wanted him during free agency it just didn't work out

I get these games are close and the Suns let opponents back in games. But they are also winning them. Thats a positive thing. AFter ten years of losing I will take ugly wins

Return to Phoenix Suns
