2006 the Suns had a 17 win streak AND a 15 game win streak.

Reportedly this was the Suns first sellout crowd of the season.

Still not pretty but a win is a win.
4th quarter fans got really loud. Reminded me of the playoffs.
I guess its better to win ugly than lose honorably.

WTF? We’re not selling out all home games after last season?

That’s kinda pathetic.

This caught me off guard as well. I thought they were selling out most games.

Chris Paul says Mikal Bridges should make All Defense team based on his play.

Yeah that’s flat out embarrassing. I get not selling out a few games but no excuse to not sell out games on a Friday or weekend

Just finished watching on DVR. Bridges. He has been our rock this season. He was active and all over the place. Ayton 17 rebounds. Paul and Booker getting hot at the right time. There was a Cam sighting.

Question. Is JaVale one of the best backup centers the Suns Have ever had?!

I am trying to think of when we've actually had a GOOD backup center...

Oliver Miller was pretty solid.

Did Cliff Robinson count as a center?

Yeah, Bridges needs the ball more if he is going to shoot more than 7 times. :yeahthat:

JaVale is not only best back-up Center we’ve ever had. He’s the second best Center we’ve had PERIOD.

(Slow your freak out Ayton bangers. He’s clearly the first).

It’s still pathetic.

I think they messed up the pricing on a couple sections. Being in the arena it seems like almost all the sections are entirely sold out outside of one in the lower deck which has it's last 5 rows or so totally empty and then one of the corners in the upper deck is like 20% full most nights I have been.

Surprised to see this coming from you -- there is a pandemic going on, after all. And there does appear to be relaxed rules for mask wearing at the arena, so I'm sure there are a lot of people that would be there if there wasn't a COVID danger.

One positive that’s been apparent to me early in the season is that Ayton has improved his ability to catch bounce passes. Used to be a bounce pass was an automatic turnover for him. His hands still aren’t a strength always, but this is a big deal in gaining the ability to corral those bc Paul and book like to throw them.

Devin Booker mentions hitting his elbow/funny bone on Wednesday and it effecting his shooting.
