    HA. Roy is the amazing. How a guy goes from being a high teens scorer, but extremely well rounded player, to absolutely taking over games is incredible. The difference between this year and last year is amazing. I love the arguments that Roy had pretty muched reached his ceiling going into his rookie year.

    LOL, I was about to come in here and tear apart whoever made this thread. Luckily you were joking :).

    I like that Roy passed the ball out of the double teams that came at him late in the game. He could have easily gone for more points or whatever, but he focused on winning the game. Definitely a humble guy.

    Before the season KP said Brandon could score 28 points every game if he wanted, but he is unselfish and prefers to get his teammates going first. KP knows his stuff. :clap:

    Outlaw played a great game tonight. What's your beef with him tonight?

    Clearly you are thinking negative thoughts. What about Outlaw's 14/6/1 game has you upset?

    Travis did what Travis does. Quite well. Without Travis this game is a loss I think.

    Travis came up huge to keep Phoenix's defense honest. Without him, Roy probably wouldn't have had 52.

    Travis had some huge moments tonight, he didn't take many bad shots (any that I can remember anyway) and without his effort and some big shots this team doesn't win. It's OK to praise a player you don't like when they do well, otherwise people might accuse you of having an agenda.

    ok, travis is what he is but good lord broy is going off and that's when outlaw decides to take control of the ball? give it up everyonce in awhile, who knows he might get it back and get a better look. when he's hitting (as he did for a 6 minute stretch) it looks great, when he's off it is disgusting. on a game by game basis it looks great but looking into the future it looks like problems to me and will probably make him the odd man out in the end.

    I was thinking the same thing, Alex. Travis getting hot and going off gave Brandon a chance to rest up for the stretch run. Don't forget Blakey also had a great, clutch game. What a night. What a game.

    Travis played a controlled game. That's good if he can keep on doing it. The play of the game imo was Travis's rebound at the end over Richardson. That was HUGE.

    So Roy should have been shooting every shot? Outlaw shot 50% from the field and rebounded well tonight. It's odd you would single him out in a thread that is a tongue-in-cheek compliment to Roy.

    I was actually really pleased with Travis tonight. He passed the ball a few times, but most importantly looked to DRIVE the ball. If he does that, it will make that J even more open.

    It was HUGE and it was clean, yet the Suns continued to berate the refs.

    They are a veteran team, so I expect in the play-offs they will be able to get some veteran calls. But when Matt Barnes is giving refs the stink eye, things are out of control. Porter needs to get a grip on his team.

    Despite the crying by the Suns, that was a great play, and not a foul.

    Yep, and that drive and pump fake was great. I didn't get a good replay of that palming violation but it better be good to have called it there. I see way worse every game that doesn't get called.

    i agree that was a great play by outlaw but i guess i'm not on his bandwagon. again it's not about tonight, or any one paticualr game, but more an overall look of his game and his defecincies.
