It is so important to have a winning culture here. The time of the rookies will come and should come, because we can not pay everyone and should pay everyone once their price tag goes up.

This feels more like the pre 2021 suns again. Sadly it took 4 years and coutless mistakes to see that the formula isn't Durant and Beal.... it is having players fitting in their roles.

Dillon Brooks just chucked Gobert into Booker for his 6th foul, then proceeded to clank away 2 FTs while deciding it's Dillon Brooks time. **** this guy.

Another reason we won! Brooks was a key part last few minutes and ended up having a great game!!!!

If all you post is Dillon brooks and crying about him! Get your negative mentality out of here !

That was an awesome comeback. I can't believe we had like 3 steals in a row after we were down 6. Great shot by Colin Gillespie. Kind of reminded me of Nash.

[Fo-Real]

The Suns are developing Gillespie into a good player for others. At the same time, all three rookies are sitting on the bench. Can it get any worse than this?

THA FUC.......HUH?!?!

Ishbia has made his mistakes but give him props for eating close to 60 million in his previous two coaches to find a keeper. Watching that locker celebration was great. Then a quick huddle and back to work. I'm not expecting what would be a "Miracle on Ice" season, but this will be a fun.

It could happen. Nobody thought the Suns would make to their first or third finals trips. Both completely unexpected.

Hating on Dillon Brooks as the Suns' new "villain"? He's the definition of the player you'd hate to face but wouldn't mind on your team—the ultimate junkyard dog who trash-talks everyone, plays mind games to rattle opponents, and turns soft teams tough. Not elite offensively, but putting up solid numbers like 21 PPG, 3.3 RPG, and 2.1 SPG in his first 10 games. His intangibles? Game-changer for our culture—he's the culture changer we needed, the most impactful since Barkley (talking impact, not skill). He has taken one of the softest, false-tough teams and made them an aggressive squad with real fight in them and for each other. Now we're connected, aggressive, and battling as one. Prove me wrong.

I won't overreact. When the rookies develop into something nice and we might be on track in two or three seasons again.

This is what some fans don't understand. They see what we have (not many picks) and what's on a roster (mismatch of guys in their prime and young guys) and think it's pointless and there's no value in this because we're not a contender. But as I've argued before and as you have, there absolutely is value in building a winning culture, having the young fellas be part of and contribute to a winning culture and a young guy reaching their prime with this gritty and focused mentality, it's going to pay dividends.
