Another big win for Phoenix last night and Booker keeps looking like a MVP candidate. With that win and the Lakers little slide lately tightens the Pacific division even more with all three teams within a game and all have the same amount of losses. I didn't think their first game against the Lakers could be for the division lead at the start of the year. It's interesting, Davis is obviously an incredible player but him being gone shows the lack of depth the Lakers have. Not to have the Lebron/MJ debate, but Lebron needs to get that team together. Everything is flowing through him though. Suns are a fun team, deep and high energy. Booker should get more credit, really more dynamic these days. Looking forward to his evolution now that I'm paying more attention. Lol how do you make up depth for one of the top players in the league? Of course it’s gonna hurt horribly just ask the Warriors |

Looking forward to his evolution now that I'm paying more attention. Yeah I thought they would fall off a little when AD went down but I didn't see them losing 3 in a row and one of them being against Washington(but I gotta admit Wizards are really good sometimes when they face top teams) and their next couple games aren't getting any easier I think I seen they have Jazz,Blazers,Warriors and Suns in the next week. Booker has always been able to put up big numbers but never had anybody there with him to help win until this season,the points just never ment anything. I'm hoping they make a deal or two to get them a little closer to the top teams in the league. |

This may be the OCD in me...but right now we are in the 2020-2021 season. 2021-2022 is next year. I get that COVID goofed things up, but still. Haha.

I like Crowder,Bridges,Dario and Cam but imo they need a starting Forward either power or small all of them are really good coming off the bench but not really starter material rn if they could add a starting forward to the mix either power or small I think that could put them a lot closer to the top/elite teams in the league. I don't really know what forwards are getting shopped,mostly the names I'm hearing are Griffin,Porzingus and Vucevic but I would like to have Porter from Denver(but I don't see that happening) or I wouldnt hate it if they bought PJ Tucker back in for a year or two from the names I'm hearing. |

You don't want Blake or Zinger, I don't think they'd help take you guys to the next level. The trade market for Vuc is gonna be really competitive, but he'd easily make you guys better. Porter would be interesting. |

Porter would be interesting. No on Blake I can't see him helping much at this point but I would like to have Porzingus but I don't know how it would work with Ayton since they've put so much in him and he is improving I would hate to f that up just for a chance to get to the Western finals but if they can make it work ill be ecstatic. Like you said Vucevic is gonna be a rough road for anybody to bring in with all the teams that will probably be after him so I'm not really thinking that's a serious outcome but if they could land him my hopes would be very high to say the least. |

Tbh i haven't watched a lot of Gordon since he was in college,the only thing I really know about him is he was a great dunker. I was real high on him in college if that's the player he still is I think he would fit in great but I haven't heard great things about his game since he got in the league but like I've said I'm not a good person to judge since I don't watch many Magic games. |

Aaron Gordon is solid, I always felt like his athleticism surpasses his skill though. 3pt % is up, rebounds are good and blocks are too. |

I bet I haven't seen him play 10 games since he was at Arizona but I really liked him there,I thought he was gonna be a huge name in the sport when he came out. |

Got shellacked by the Lakers tonight. After finally winning 3 in a row I sure wasn't expecting 4, but damn, wasn't expecting to get run out of the building. And Draymond sprained his ankle or something early in the game, 2nd quarter I think, so that's never good either.

They're missing some unity though. |

They're missing some unity though. The second unit is pretty bad. More often than not they’re trying to undo the damage in the last 6 minutes of each half. |

Its no way I would've believed Phoenix would be leading the division going into break and have the second best record in the league. So happy how they played after Booker got tossed,i know he shouldve kept he's cool but imo that was a awful call to throw him out for that.I didn't think they was gonna have a shot but that was a total team game. They couldnt stop LeBron but they held the rest of the game in check.

Similar to a wrestling factoid I recently posted in the WWE board...
Reggie Miller played against both Kareem (formerly known as Lew Alcindor of course; he has a basketball career going back to 1961 at Power Memorial in Manhattan, and was recognized as an all-national high school player on The Ed Sullivan Show the year before The Beatles were on it) and LeBron (still active in 2021).
60 years connected through Reggie...isn't that nuts?
