    i've been saying this for a few yrs now. the biggest offensive leap Ant can take is if he can at least draw 1-2 more shooting fouls per game. Would put him on a completely new tier of players if he could.

    Ayton goes from 3 possession of lazy defense to 3 possessions of straight defensive anchor.

    I can see why Suns fans were frustrated.

    I’ve been impressed with Jabari so far. Playing with more confidence and intention. Played some good defense on KD.

    At least tonight, appears Walker guarded Durant better than Grant has.

    Moses Brown is not worthy of being on an NBA roster.

    I like our team. Phoenix is trying and they can’t shake us.

    Why does Calabro have to gaslight about Nurk gaining back his bounce?

    Sharpe is not looking like he's ready for prime time.

    If you're just looking at stats sure.

    I haven't seen a more clueless player.

    Pretty obvious the Suns are the better more talented team.
    Get ready for a long season.

    he has no idea what he or the team is doing. not sure why Chauncey benched Ayton at that moment. Directly led to this little Phoenix run.
