  1. Excellent analysis! Only disagreement, Booker has been the same unselfish player he has been for years. Underrated playmaker for years, not hunting stats, as he has been tops if not outright leading in hockey assist for years. He is team player, that’s not afraid to take the shot when needed, will take over for spurts when team needs it, when he is hot.

  2. In your promo, about poly market, you say “regular sports book apps are robbing you, let me tell you why“ and then you proceed to not answer the question at all😂 yea I’ll keep using fanduel

  3. I watched the Suns game last night, a cake walk, then the game between Houston and Sacramento. It was a stark difference. The lackadaisical play in the second game from both teams was apparent– something I accused the Suns of earlier in the season during some games they should have won. The Suns keep getting better. If the Suns make it to a top 4-5 seed in the west, their new coach deserves CoTY. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain this degree of effort and how Jalen Green fits in when he's back. It's awesome to see the Sun's actually play defense. lol If it wasn't for some early season growing pains, and a few misteps, they'd be #2 or #3 in the west right now, with around 10 losses.

  4. You're totally right but I'm a little bit sad because you haven't spoke about some really good players like Oso Ighodaro, Rasheer Fleming, Jamaree Bouyea, Ryan Dunn ( probably the best defender of the league ) and Royce

  9. as a suns fan who watches every single game.. this is very accurate.. i watched every game last season too.. and it was gut wrenching.. not us losing, but the lack of effort.. it pisssed me and everyone off.. this team is so different.. win or lose, i’m always proud of how this team plays.. i know i am going to turn on the game and see guys out there trying and that’s all us fans ask for. also, ryan dunn and oso have made a HUGEEE LEAP.. ryan bringing at least 1-2 huge slam dunks each game.. and his defense is amazing.. and at first i thought oso was going to be a bust.. but he is literally the perfect 2 center on an NBA team.. he can pass, dribble, play defense, catch oops, all of it.. mark williams is great and deserves to be the starter.. but oso brings more offensively and that’s why them 2 together fit so well in the rotation .. this so called “rebuild” was a masterclass.. and lastly, jordan out is THE reason why this team is so good. coaching makes a huge difference.. not only does he makes every single right decision.. but the whole suns coaching staff has done a great job at developing these players.. look at dillon brooks, look at oso and ryan, even fleming the rookie, and collin gillespie , he is literally the next steve nash, as steve is coaching him behind scenes too.. ANDDD people was saying jalen green wasn’t going to be good for us.. putting up 8 points in the playoffs for the rockets.. oh boy do they have something coming when he gets back.. this coaching staff is going to turn him into a star.. also guys who r older like grayson and royce have been stepping up dramatically all season long.. making 3s and playing good defense.. i really think we can at least make the western conference finals.. which would be a huge win in my book.

  13. I saw the OKC game in person. It was impressive seeing Booker work so hard to create plays and his teammates respond with lots of effort and grit. They weren’t lucky, but deserving because they made the best of their talent. I’m hoping to watch more games and adopt this newfound identity.

  17. Quality wins:
    Knicks
    OKC
    Timberwolves x2
    Lakers x2
    Spurs x2

    Honorable mention:
    Golden State
    Hawks

    Notable losses
    Loss to OKC in the cup and lost in the final seconds by 3
    Loss to Rockets due to Durant 3 point game winner
    Loss to Lakers due to bogus end of game calls to favor LeBron

    Note the suns second/third best player has only played one game with them so they could potentially get a little better plus their best 3 point shooter G Allen has missed several games as well.

  18. The problem the Suns will have is that this collection of guys is the best they can do. They can't do anything outside of this collection. They have no cap space. They have no draft picks for like 6 years. They are paying Beal $20 mill a year for the next 5 years. They made all the right moves. Except for one. They took Maluach over Derik Queen. We could have our PF and instead we have a project center that will never be better than Mark Williams. We were that close to becoming legit contenders.

  19. The Suns haven’t just been the biggest surprise, they’ve legitimately been one of the most entertaining teams to watch in the NBA this year. There is something so refreshing about a team that just busts their ass on the floor. Devin Booker is proving he didn’t need to be led by CP3 or Kevin Durant to be a winner, Dillon Brooks is earning a home on the Phoenix Suns for the long term, Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin are both securing good contracts (HOPEFULLY WITH PHOENIX), Mark Williams is doing incredibly well in Phoenix, Oso and Dunn are both showing improvement in their sophomore seasons and have cemented themselves as consistent players and show high upside, Royce and Grayson are two of the best role players in the NBA, their rookies look incredibly strong in the G league when they play (Fleming belongs in the rotation), Nick Richards is easily the best 3rd string guy in the NBA, Jamaree Bouyea has been an incredibly fun surprise of strong shooting and underrated athleticism while playing, and we haven’t even seen Jalen Green much yet.

    This team is easily the funnest story in the NBA this year

  24. Happy for Collin
    Malone always underused our Nuggets bench.
    Collin has found a proper home to chase a second ring. Even if he doesn't become champ again, he is proving a lot of people not just wrong, but stupid!

  25. Suns GM, please dont make any trades. PLEASE. This current team deserves to grow and be trusted. The chemistry is at an all-time high, you can see they love playing for each other. You can't get that kind of chemistry easily

  32. its simple… book needs to be the number one scoring option and we need a team around book. all we need is a facilitator at this point and we're solid. Booker has no business playing point, youre taking away from his potential by doing so.

  33. Beat SA by holding Wemby to single digits until the 4th. Got him a fourth foul right as the second half started getting him into foul trouble early. Their second halfs right out of half time can break teams quickly
