Defense seems to have tightened up which is nice to see, but we can't get a bucket now.

Smith looks good though! Definitely earning himself a longer look.

If Thad Young gets bought out (seems likely) and ends up here AND Smith turns into a decent rotation player, James Jones is going to look like a genius.

Relentless jacking…this reminds me so much of the early part of last season. Loving the Stix sighting at least, and he’s contributing. Really good sign

Back to back threes must be season high for Phoenix.

I thought he did okay too. Hope he finally gets these minutes consistently…

Oh it’s beautiful when the threes are falling

Why did Paul sit again?

Becoming way too familiar a post in these game threads.

Yeah what was successful last season was not relying on the three, maybe opponents have adjusted and will just force us to make perimeter shots?

Not sure, he only has one foul so that's kinda odd.

Crowder heated on bench encouraging Suns to play hard. Let's see if that pays off.

I think the sun's are just being lazy so far tbh. No heart.

Excellent 2nd quarter from DA

We managed to erase the 14 point deficit so that's good going into halftime.

Monty benched Carlton because he's not controlling the game so far.
Sextonto managed to annoy him and Monty want him to be cool.

Just wait til we come out flat and give it and more up halfway through the 3rd

Those active hands are contagious we are deflecting and getting our hands on everything.

You were only off by 7 points kiddo.
