See! Tanking works!

Shaq Harrison has been a fun defensive-minded addition.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'd like to see Jackson get 30 points.

Suns players were really happy to see Harrison hit that 3 point shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker now with 32 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson wants 30 points so bad. I hope he gets it.

Booker now with 32 points.

Yeah Book! Keep it up dawg.

Final:

Suns 110 - Grizzlies 102

 

[Mainstreet]

Yeah Book! Keep it up dawg.

It's becoming expected.

As great a loss as this would have been tank wise, I love seeing Josh just get better and better.

If Payton would get a haircut I could be happy with Payton, Booker and Jackson going forward

Sooner or later Payton has to get a hair cut... right?

I think it was Chambers and Leander who referred to it as plumage.

Good lord guys... get over the haircut.

Shaq had some pretty nice plays on both ends, pleasant surprise. I didn't see much of the first half but pretty enjoyable game through most of the second. Good to see the suns have some camaraderie and cheer for each other through what must be a dreadful season for them.

Jackson is night and day compared to where he was through the first 10-15 games of the year. Happy to see his development.

Right on all counts.

If the worst thing you can criticize about our new Point Guard is his hair . . . I guess we have a good Point Guard going forward.

Which means we can concentrate on drafting a Center. And, BTW, I couldn't care less if he has a purple Mohawk.

I’d prefer the purple Mohawk.

After looking at Youtube video, I think Payton's hair style might be from the 1950's and called "The elephant trunk."

Payton, Booker, and Jackson might end up being a nice little group to build around. This team is one more "star" away from making some noise.

Jackson's improvement has been amazing. And YES a loss would have been nice, I guess. But I will never complain when guys like Booker, Jackson, and even Payton play this well. Gives me some hope at least.

It really hurts his FT%

Plus a lot of his baskets are layups so who knows.

I'm not buying that his hair never interferes with his game. Not buying it. Nope.

That jumper at 2:25 is night and day from the start of the season.
