    If Ant averages 30 pts a game... yeereesh. Unless you meant he will eclipse 30 points in a game. Then yes, I agree with that.

    What we get from guys not named Dame and CJ are going to be the deciding factor all year.

    Really nice to see a lot of people in on the action.

    Early in the season going 1-1 while making PHX go 0-2

    This was a big win

    Suns do play a lot slower to be fair, and we also shot the ball much better.

    Definitely defending with more belief and effort than we've seen the last two years though which is more than half the battle.

    Hopefully the execution catches up.

    Their fast break was indefensible just because Clyde and Jerome got up so high and attacked so aggressively.

    Nas has that capability...
