again - bud laughed at the thought of gillespie starting less than 2 weeks ago - literal little chuckle - gillespie has started the last 3 games you know the rest

bud refused to play oso earlier on and sent him to the g-league even tho oso was by light years the fastest and most mobile option when facing all these young tall fast teams

worst part is bud hasn't discovered this thru brilliance but rather running out of options - ugh

And injuries have played a significant role in the Suns going back to the youngsters. Maybe it wouldn't have happened otherwise.

The difference is the loose ball plays and taking care of the ball. We were getting none most of the season. These young guys and Martin run to every loose ball. We were not getting these hustle plays most of the season.

Also KD last 3, 19 assists, 7 TOV, 61%, 27 PPG

Book: last 3, 23 assists, 6 TOV, 49.4%, 28 PPG

When they are both cooking and taking care of the ball it’s a much different team. Add the hustle we have not seen all season, especially from the rookies it’s the best 3 game stretch.

By the way. OSO 44 minutes?!?

Bud said Oso doesn't seem to get winded or tired.
