Thanks Curry and Klay for changing the entire landscape of the league. But older folks definitely need to learn to adapt and never complain, right? We should just embrace the high scoring outputs, 35+ 3’s a game, running fast breaks 3-1 settling for threes instead of driving to the basket, nonstop blowouts can’t even get close thrilling games in crunch time besides few games here & there. Can’t wait to watch what this exciting league will showcase in the years to come.

I’ve watched a lot of the NFL this year and I really love football, but I can say for sure that the NBA is so much more exciting because of the scoring. I mention the NFL because their scoring is way down this year and it’s making it pretty boring to watch.

Do you not recall some of the absolutely ridiculous scoring games from the 80's? That kind of stuff was fairly common and probably due to a lack of zone defense but without the emphasis on chucking threes. That stuff was mostly twos and free throws.

Absolutely loving those Little minutes. So much energy, can shoot, makes great hustle plays and has looked really good out there

I can't remember the last time the Suns grabbed three clean defensive rebounds on consecutive possessions.

Less than a minute in the game and it's not really that close, yet Booker remains on the floor.

Point differential matters in the in season tournament. It's a shame we didn't beat this team by more but a wins a win

I suppose, but is a potentially freak injury really worth it?

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Nurk and Little both showed heart today, Little was a menace all game long while Nurk bounced back in a big way after a slow start.

That was a classic Ayton game. Unstoppable in the first quarter, fades into the background for the rest of the game. Suns were definitely attacking the paint knowing he was(n't) there.

KD has been incredible during this stretch. Glad Booker didn't end up getting hurt, he had me nervous for a second there. Loved the second half showings from Nurkic and Little too. Felt like we should have blown them out, but a win is a win.

Oh I was wondering why Book was in when we had the lead so late.

Yeah totally not worth it just to win some useless tournament although the Suns probably have a roster where more guys would benefit from winning due to us having so many vet min players.

I remember months ago some of you saying that Book and #2 had beef, is it really true?

Thought the same thing. So glad to not have to watch that anymore.

Really looking forward to tomorrow’s game. I hate that it’s a B2B, but it’s home. We should be fine.

KD and Book are 13-1 in regular season games. Only half watched this one while drinking with my roommates, but game never seemed in question even when it was close.

Yeah, never understood why people didn’t believe it. It was the most obvious thing ever.
