That inbound attempt was something else lmao. The fact that Booker's move to get away from a double team was to stand still and the fact that KD thought it was a good idea to throw it to him is wild lol

They need to put the Kings' light beam on Scott Foster because this mitch loves the spotlight

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

Uncomfortable win after a lot of broken plays against GSW bench, but still a win.

Suns continue to win games with Booker and KD… is that now 14-1? That’s crazy.

How many of those are memorable though ? I was excited about the game vs Mavs. There were games against Nuggets but they rested Jokic. Overall wins against mediocre teams, so not sure the record matters that much. Playoff games result is what matters.

Watching KD alongside Book has been memorable for me. Not sure how anyone can downplay a 14-1 record. I don’t care who the opponents are. 14-1 is crazy. Who knows, the Suns could have beat the Nuggets if CP3 didn’t get hurt and if Ayton wasn’t a wimp and miss those games. Suns have now won 5 straight games with Book back but I guess winning means nothing to you guys.

Y’all so miserable and it shows.

KD could win MVP this year if he stays healthy and y’all will still find a way to complain about him.

Does every person need to be happy all the times? I thought America was build on freedom of speech? Others can show disappointment in their team just because you see everything in a positive light does not mean others do the same.

Suns are obviously playing much better, but still concerning how they either blow games in 4th quarter or allow teams to storm back almost beating them like tonight. I know we still have time to fix issues regarding turnovers, lineup changes, closing out games etc… but in playoffs when the game slows down it’ll be concerning if Phoenix can’t figure out how to close out games.

And also, definitely time to fix their mistakes. We are only 15 games in. The Suns should be better around playoff time. I just hope everyone gets their healthy. Damn near every team is going through something.

I started watching from 2nd half when Suns lost a 20 point lead turning the ball over and letting GSW 3rd team do a layup after layup on fast breaks, so sorry for not being impressed. Later I'll watch building the lead against their starters to feel less miserable.

15 games in -
Games 1-5: 19, 20, 11, 19, 15, average 16.8 - 2W-3L
Games 6-10: 10, 10, 21, 13, 17, average 14.2 - 2W-3L
Games 11-15: 9, 8, 17, 13, 15, average 12.4 - 5W-0L

With Booker, the Suns are averaging just 12 turnovers a game, which would be the least amount in the league. The chemistry is developing with this new roster and it will only get better as players learn each other's tendencies.

Glad the Suns got the W. That would have been really embarrassing loss if Warriors bench came back and won. Durant is playing at an MVP caliber level now. He looks healthy and really good this season.

I enjoyed this game a lot, it had a bit of everything.

CP3 being ejected in the 2nd quarter by Foster was funny, I don't get why CP3 kept talking **** when he clearly fouled Durant in that last play.

But we were already at that moment in the driven seat, with or without CP3 we got this game.

We played without urgency in the 4th quarter and their bench players kept pushing and they made a fantastic run...but with KD and Book that wasn't enough.

KD scored over 30 for the fifth consecutive game and 14th over 25. His efficiency is off the charts.

Book with a bad shooting night but he was great at everything else.

5 wins in a row and counting!!
