Healthy dose of Dunn, Oso, Martin + keep starting Gillespie, but he must come out aggressive, pushing the ball and looking to score when he's open.

Good. I hope we see more of what we saw against the Raptors.

I'm ready to transition to playing the younger players. It should have happened earlier. The Suns have needed more energy, especially on defense, all season.

That's the thing that stands out to me. Is the energy and effort seems to go up a notch the more we play the younger guys. Not that it always translate to success but those two things appear to be there.

It's like someone forgot to tell the younger players it's not a team game. I think too much deference is paid to the veterans when they are on the court.

if plum's out it means minutes for oso - id love for some of those minutes to coincide with dunn's and gillespie's - dunn will probably start but who knows - gillespie will probably come off the bench but who knows

The Suns are tied with Dallas in the loss column (37) after their loss to the Pacers. Oof.

Phoenix would tie Dallas for 10th place in the West with a win. Suns own the tiebreaker.

I like Gillespie running the team. It surprises me though he is not shooting the ball better because he is a good shooter.
