We just handed the wolves this game by silly turnovers, missed free throws and stupid fouls.

At least we didn't get blown out but this team has a ways to go before we can consider them a contending team.

Way for Brooks to once again cost us the game when we stole the momentum back. Lame of Randle for flopping like a chump, but I guess you gotta sell it so the officials buy it.

Brooks is also a big reason we play hard to get those turnovers to stay in the game. His activity outweighs his negatives IMO

If it ends up costing the game come the end, no, it doesn't outweigh. But I will give him kudos for being aggressive and defending his man and playing scrappy. He just has a tendency to make time sensitive mistakes at the worst possible times.

Love the entire team around Gillespie in the interview. This team likes each other and they are fun AF.

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Damn that was an improbably win but it should haven't even come to that last second shot.

That was a great win. The TEAM came together. That never would have happened with Durant and Beal.

I didn’t like Goodwin at all his first time around. He seems like a totally different player now. This team would have 2000% not won this game if it was last years squad.

What a special team. I turned my tv off when we were down 111 to 104 with a minute remaining very upset. Then checked the score a minute later with us down 113-112 with 18 sec remaining I immediately ran downstairs to watch again lol. Can’t believe the fight and effort this team has to never give up. Those two steals under a minute remaining were huge a three point shot and a Goodwin layup. God bless the suns and god bless you all.

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?
