    Baynes just got away with a rolling screen for five damn seconds. If that isn’t a moving by screen, then there is no such thing.

    Hood is definitely better overall, I was talking in isolation. Like, if we had the average Rodney Hood this game instead of Trent, how different would things be? I don't think they would be.

    Trent's playing great defense tonight.

    About a month ago, everyone thought the Suns were much better than us.

    Not sure they are "much better" this year.
    Monty's got a good thing going on there.

    Nobody was saying Trent was better overall or close to Hood (yet).

    Simply comparing this specific game from Trent to what Rodney Hood usually gave us. It's comparable. Trent's also playing better defense than I think Hood would've.

    Booker much more efficient so far. 25 points on 15 shots vs CJ 21 points on 18 shots.

    That’s not embellishment, that’s embezzlement.

    One thing is for certain they would play different with Hood on the court. Also the Suns would have to guard different.
