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. I was really impressed by them last night. They played great after Booker got kicked out tbh it shocked the he// out of me I thought LeBron would take over and blow them out. I know LA was missing AD and other pieces but imo its still a really impressive win for Phoenix after the last 10 years they had,they showed that they can show up in big games like last night. |

I think this team could make a good grind in the playoffs. Don't get to see them much up here but I really enjoy watching them when I do. |

That was awesome man. First round was free and easy, but he had to earn the finals win big time. I was a little worried after the middle rack, but after nailing the 2nd MD ball and 8 pts on the bonus rack I knew he would at the very least get a tie on the last rack. Win or lose on the money ball and there was no doubt lol. I was legit hype.

From what I saw he didn’t slow up in the game either.

He did most of his damage in the first half. Was hoping he could get MVP but he didn't do much in the second half and Giannis kept going strong.

Mike Conley made that fun. He didn't even make the mountain Dew balls. Steph Curry is too smooth though, makes it when he needs to. Greatest shooter of all time.
All star game was weak as always though. No D, bored players, lame alley oops, and silly scores.
Dunk competition had promise in the first round but I felt like they all used their best dunks first.
Also, Kenny Smith needs to shut up.
The end.

I only saw the 3 point contest as I was watching the AEW PPV, and going back and forth with the pre-show during the 3 point contest.
I recorded the game, but after seeing some highlights it seemed like exactly what you described. If Steph kept going strong for the whole game I'd probably skim through the game, but I saw his highlights on my phone already and Dame's halfcourt shots. So I'll just delete the recording.

The all-stars should be named every other year.
The teams should play a game and the winner ends up being team USA that competes at the world championships or the olympics

Wasn't expecting the Blazers/Suns game to be that close last time Phoenix put'em away pretty quick but this time it was a entirely different result. Just glad they got the win and now can move on to 5 or 6 games at home before they go on a long road trip. Hoping they can put a little distance between them and the Lakers and Clips.

I read an article on how Ayton is falling out favour with Phoenix because he's slow footed offensively and defensively. His numbers are solid but I didn't realize the other issues because I don't get to see enough Suns games. Do you think this is true? They've been closing with a quicker, smarter, Saric in games they say. |

Let me start off with I don't think he's ever gonna be a #1 draft pick caliber player but I think he's improved a lot since the beginning of last year and only getting better. I didn't know anything about Phoenix being upset with his play but it wouldn't surprise me with his offensive game. His strongest part of his game imo is rebounding. Saric has been playing great since his return from injury but I'm still hoping for some kind of trade or picking up a player to help. I was hoping for Tucker but that's not happening now,I seen they got Craig from the Bucks but don't know much about him. |

I thougt Ayton would be a higher energy big but the game is quicker and more spaced out. Saric is a good shooter and probably a quicker defender. Yeah, that trade was interesting - will be good for the Bucks. Craig seems like a depth piece at best, not sure why he has fallen out of favour at this point but there must be a reason. |

I think Drummond is a great comparison if you look at Ayton's game this year. I thought he was gonna be a superstar,I got upset when it was talk about them maybe picking Luka. I guarantee if you search through here I said something about it then,I thought they was gonna make a huge mistake. Man I got that one wrong. I don't know the guy they got from the Bucks but I'm guessing its just to add some depth to the bench. Since Tucker gone I wouldn't mind if they get Aldridge now. |

Ayton looks as old as he moves lol. That sums it up right there. Haha. As for Aldridge, it'll be interesting to see where he goes. Good depth on a good team, obviously an aging game. |

I'm glad Phoenix didn't play around and get beat by a Lakers team without LBJ and AD like they did to the worst team in the league couple days before. Nice moment for CP3,glad he got it in a Suns jersey. They don't have any Championships but they've had some great Point Guards(KJ,Penny,Kidd,Nash and now CP3).

That was a nice moment, feel like CP3 doesn't get enough respect. Not his fault his teams haven't won. I would like to see the Suns make a move to maintain their success. In fact, I'd like to see the Suns, Nuggets, and Jazz capitalize on the Lakers being down. |

Only thing I see happening from LA losing games without James and Davis is a good/high seeded team gonna get knocked out in the first round but how stacked the West is its not gonna be a easy round anyways(well maybe Spurs if they make it out of the play in). |
