Booker is making some amazing passes.. teammates bricking shots again. Another game he should have a ton of assists.. point Book hasn’t been bad, guys just don’t make shots.

Man Nurk is pissing me the f- off with the fouls. It's been an issue ever since that 8 game quality run he had earlier in the year.

He can't help if he can't stay on the damn court.

He’s a dog. And big dogs eat little dogs. Devin Booker is a little dog and Brooks will devour him.

I was done with Booker when he couldnt even get by Doncic.
Booker has no moves no handles. Without DA to set him picks and be his scapegoat he’s looking like pure trash.

DA sets the worst screens bro. You're funny :lol:



RA, do you like Azubuike cause I like Azubuike. :dontknow:

Azibuike has been a nice secondary C/PF seeing he's finally getting time on the floor.

I like the way that Little attacked the rim on two straight possessions, too. Straight to the hole, throwing it down. And Metu almost poked one on Sengun as well. That would have been nice.

It's always great to see people unafraid to attack the basket.

At this point, I just love seeing effort out there. That's the way to crawl yourself out of a funk. Azubuike should be the backup C going forward from here. I like the ball movement, and I like the role players not deferring to the stars.

I also like no-headband Book being back. He's still shaky on his 3 pointers, but sometimes you just need a change.

I must admit I knew nothing about Azubuike but how in the world Vogel has a player like that buried on the bench? :banghead:

They're finally performing how they've been expected to play all season, even without Beal. Wonder what changed? Or is HOU just bad enough to make us look nice?

I know Eubanks has been bad but Azubuike has been awful early in his NBA career. I remember him struggling pretty bad this year in summer league too. Good to see him play well though. Not sure it’s sustainable.

It's almost time for your 4th quarter Suns!!!!!!
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

I really wish Booker would knock it off with the early in the shot clock iso BS. He's generally not a guy who's gonna take defenders off the dribble.

Play within the damn flow. Wear out defenders with rubs/curls to get open.

I’ll bet my life suns don’t get outscored in 4th or lose this game. We are on the uprise and nobody is stopping us.

Return to Phoenix Suns
