Suns were 14-15, 17-6 since. 31 wins with 30 games left. If they keep winning at the same pace they have in the past 23 games, they are on pace for 53 wins. Would be pretty good considering the injuries to start the season.

37 assists. I'm curious if we ever had that many in a game Book played. I know Paul had a lot and Book was capable of a lot. But 37 is insane, and the ball movement is great and it's rare we as a team shoot over 59% overall and over 48% from 3. Subtracting the 3 pt attempts and makes, we shot 77.5% from 2. That's crazy.
Great win. Hope to see more games like this. Less iso ball which is the type of basketball I love to watch.

We are playing a lot better, but still have the toughest schedule left. None of the top 4 teams in the west are in the 8 toughest schedules. LAC have the 9th toughest, Denver the 16th, Minnesota the 18th, and OKC the 20th.
We still have 2 against Boston, LAC, OKC, Den, Minn and Cle (now 2nd in the east). We are kind of lucky we don't have to play any of the top 4 4 times...at least I don't think we have played any of them twice yet. We also have 2 against Sacramento and New Orleans and a game at Milwaukee who is a lot better at home. We have 3 against Houston in 4 games right after the all star break. Luckily 2 are at home...they are much better at their place than on the road. We also have one against the Lakers who we've struggled with and 1 at Dallas.
I think it will be tough to catch any of those above us unless they suffer a major injury. I thought Minnesota was the most likely but they have one of the easier schedules of the 4.

We had 36 and 35 the last 2 games we played Utah this year, both with Booker playing. 35 last week against Brooklyn too.

86 posts? Seems like this place is more active when the Suns lose. Still some complaints tonight in here. Nothing new.
Suns continue to get better each game.. I’m sure that upsets some of you.

I see you only post when Suns are doing extremely bad telling everyone to “ relax, give them time to gel”… but when Suns won 17 out of 23 games you hardly posted. Which is strange to post when we’re down on our luck but not post when we are on fire winning games.

Complain about other posters while your only contribution in the thread is crapping on other posters.

Dude, this board is toxic. People complain when the team is winning. Earlier this season, users were wanting the Suns to trade Devin Booker. I remember mentioning earlier this season that you guys need to be patient, it will take some to gel and everyone attacked me for being too optimistic. I believe you did too.

I also remember you guys saying the Beal trade was one of the worst trades ever. Sometimes you guys just gotta think. lol

The Beal trade is probably one of the most lopsided trade ever. Still can’t believe how lucky we were to pull that off. The Suns would be a deep ish right now without Beal.

Great game from the entire starting 5 tonight. Allen with 14 dimes is incredible and we got two 30 pieces from KD and Beal. Gordon was extremely efficient. Nurk did his thing. Even the bench (Eubanks, Bol) had some nice moments. Love to see it.

Grayson with 14 dimes is impressive but man in other leagues this doesn't count as an assist.

On another note, EG appears to play a lot better as a starter. Record with him starting should be pretty good.

I think his career high is 18 assists

Basically everybody in the starting lineup can pass and they are adding RO who is also a good passer. There is no excuse to play some garbage ISO ball.

Fun game to watch, this team is a joy to watch when we move the ball and find the open shot.
KD is playing at an MVP level, what a ridiculous performance. Another crazy highlight with that dunk, and his passing was on another level in this one.
Beal scoring as a G and distributing like a PG. 6/9 from three.
Eric Gordon with another efficient performance. What an steal for the minimum.
Happy to see Grayson Allen with his all time high assists game.
Bol Bol, Eubanks, Nurkic...all of them played well and it seems that we have a good frontcourt but we can add another PF/C just to give us extra insurance.
