    I can get behind that. He really cleaned up his defense from the first half and was really doing a nice job as a hustle player out there.

    I REALLLLLLLY want to see it happen more than just once every couple or three games. If he could at least bring that kind of hustle every night and just play OK on offense he'd be exactly what this team needs right now.

    They were saying he's better than the guys in front of him and deserved more minutes before tonight, but not directly that he should be the starter. I like them both, but I believe they would have been said exactly nothing about this if JB only scored 10.

    what's so funny? Didn't you watch the game? Clutch shots. Clutch defense. Clutch rebounding. A complete game.

    Yeah I've been amazed too.

    And just think we were fretting a couple of weeks ago about Jerryd possibly demanding a trade.

    It's not a fucking fluke that Webster was a +18 tonight. The guy was incredible.

    Bayless was clearly huge - but there's no question that Martell's hustle plays were every bit as important. Great energy from Webster!

    If the Suns had a legit center, not a PF playing out-of-position, this could very well be a loss. We can't dig an early hole like this on the road trip and expect to win.

    Tonight, he played PF for us in the 4th quarter and completely dominated. Not just shooting, but a clutch blocked shot and a clutch rebound. He played a complete game tonight. And he did it when it mattered. Tonight was the best game of Martell's career. Don't throw boxscores at me. They don't tell the whole tale.

    The great thing was seeing Roy and Jerryd together, doing their own thing and doing it on the court together. They looked to be in the flow, no chemistry problems, and just played their game. Hopefully this is our starting backcourt eventually for the next decade.

    LOL! If ANY team had a legit center, they'd be good. How many teams do? Very very few. The fact is the Suns DON'T have a legit center and they've played very well without one. They won in Boston for chrissakes!
