"OKC miss again (SGA 3PA). We see SGA stay with Goodwin & PHX is reluctant to bring him into ball screen action. So we see basically the only possession (Spoiler: when on court) where SGA isn't involved & OKC make it tough Brooks jumper anyway. 100-100"

"Beal Booker & Durant have played [--] mins together in 4th Qs. [--] of those mins last night. PHX are shooting 38% overall & 0/9 from [--] in those mins. Ws matter but Im fairly confident that the mins played is the number we should focus on going up. Rest will take care of itself"

"And it looks very evident in this one. Clips know exactly who they are & the Suns.do not. LA Clippers 'Big 3' has already played [---] more minutes together than the Suns.

"The optimistic comp to make here would be LAC starting 0-5 after the Harden trade. On a tear since & look every bit of a contender rn. Still that doesn't just happen solely due to time/reps. Still requires the right inputs & not losing the process while you take the lumps"

"The best there is covering the Phoenix Suns & this article is well worth your time. #ARK What makes a great jump shot/shooter I asked Kevin Durant Devin Booker Bradley Beal Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen their favorite on the Suns the roots of their own and how you can improve yours (plus an assist from shooting enthusiast Damion Lee): https://t.co/SyGqb5KuEm What makes a great jump shot/shooter I asked Kevin Durant Devin Booker Bradley Beal Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen their favorite on the Suns the roots of their own and how you can improve yours (plus an assist from shooting enthusiast"

"Hard not to be impressed by the mins from Bol Bol since he's joined the rotation. Playing very disciplined - both within himself & within the team game plan. Boxing out rotating well moving the ball effort plays"

"Two adjustments I'd expect from LAL right away in second half. [--]. The blitzes top locks & ball denials will be back on heavily. [--]. They'll probably try go at Bol Bol a bit more in on ball actions. Let's see how it goes"

"Yeah so this is the vision. Lakers shift Vanderbilt onto Booker & are overplaying him on everything. All of a sudden the Beal/KD 2man game opens up the Nurk post up opens up they still find Book in his spots. Far from perfect but that's the stuff right there"

"@swaveyquis1 It doesn't make sense. Forget height/weight for a second and Nurk is actually the guy providing the closer skillset to Blake/Brown/Green that was mentioned"

"📽 SETTING THE (S)TONE - BEST SCREEN PLAY ☀ The Suns Big [--] showed up & showed out in LA. Taking a look at how the screen play between PHX's stars created great looks & gave them something to build on going forward. 🔊 Audio On for this one. Let's have some fun"

"The Suns need a PG. One that has size. One that can defend POA. One that doesn't need the ball. One that can hit open 3s. In other words the Suns need the type of 3&D wing that every team is looking for. The Suns need a SF. Thank you @stevejones20 for speaking facts about the Suns point guard situation. Excellent stuff with @NekiasNBA and @jj_redick today. Folks can learn a thing or two https://t.co/jMKWjWVoxo Thank you @stevejones20 for speaking facts about the Suns point guard situation.

"The Suns have so few moveable assets that there is no choice but to explore all avenues of what *might* be possible for an upgrade via trade. It also means you can just throw a couple of names out there & if PHX do end up trading you can say see I was right"
