Thank you Bradley.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Suns leading 111-108. Only 3:13 minutes left.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Are they gonna blow another one?

 

[Mainstreet]

How is that continuation?

 

[Yuma]

How is that continuation?

It's NOT.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good defense by the Suns on that play.

 

[Hoop Head]

Huge 3 by Book

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker for THREE!!!

 

[Hoop Head]

Beal for 3!

 

[Hoop Head]

That should seal it.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Bradley follows with another big three.

ABC blocks out the clock during a crucial part of the game.

 

[Yuma]

Geez. Having to hit two threes to pull it out against the Bulls, wow. I get a W is a W. Still, when was the last time we beat a team without having our butts clench so tight?

 

[AzStevenCal]

Something sarcastic. What I can I say, after watching yet another uninspired performance I just felt like saying something sarcastic.

That was annoying. If you have AZ Family Sports they had it normal. Hopefully that doesn't happen again at a crucial point.

I was thinking they were trying to take the stress off us seeing how close the game was.

 

[Hoop Head]

Ugly win is still a win. This was the most winnable game of the roadtrip. Off to Toronto, who isn't good but the travel makes it a bit difficult to go there.

I don't see this leading to brighter times this season but it's always painful to see road trips where we can't get a single win so I'll take W, even if the trip ends up 1-4.

Actually, I thought the Suns played well today. From the second quarter on, I thought they were going to win.

I better check my pulse.

The offense looked better than it has but their defense was atrocious, as usual.

The ball was moving on offense and guys were moving off ball.

We have to figure out our paint defense. Still, when your team is shorter than every team you play, that's going to be a tough job.

There were several times when I thought we were about to put Chicago away but even to the end, the outcome was in doubt. I'm glad we won but I have a difficult time reconciling who we actually are with who we should be.
