Is anybody else still just a little nervous about the Suns winning this game?

This is as bad a performance I’ve ever seen from a Suns opponent.

Ayton, Oubre and Bridges probably have 3 of the top 10 wing spans in the NBA and Booker and Rubio are big at their positions.

Yeah I was more so talking about the positions they put on the floor. This starting lineup uses a PG, SG, SF, SF and C. Boston uses (when healthy at least) a PG, SG/PG, SF, SF, PF and they are a very good defensive team. We have more than enough size with this lineup to deal with most teams in the league.

Up by 31 with 12 minutes left? Not much. Still possible but unlikely.

 

[Proximo]

That was probably the best quarter of the season.

 

[BirdGangThing]

The pump fakes, the footwork, and the range. When Devin Booker is on like this he's simply unstoppable.

 

[Chaplin]

48-22 in the 3rd quarter. Wow.

Oh yeah, I’d bet a lot but the Suns are really good at blowing leads.

And he's been on like this for about a month now. If he somehow doesn't get the AS nod I might start a riot.

Up to a 36 point lead now.

If Dallas would have done a better job of closing the gap at the end of the 3rd, maybe, but 30+ points is incredible difficult to blow in 1 quarter (even for a team that likes to blow leads).

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout. Preach to them Monty.

Suns lead 115-83.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I don't even recognize Porzingis anymore, that's not the same dude.

 

[Phrazbit]

Wow, just wow.

Best game they've played all year. That starting lineup is suffocating on defense, leads to a lot of transition baskets for us too.

Kinds chaps my hide that we haven't been running this look for the last month.

Also, for one night at least, Ayton looks like the clear cut #1 pick.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges now has 13 points, 5 assists, 1 steal and a block. He needs to remain in the starting lineup.

Don’t get too carried away, Mavs are playing pretty bad defense. Obvious back to back must be hurting them.

 

[Phrazbit]

I saw him live a couple years ago, he scored like 30 against us, beating us in OT. He looked like an unquestioned future superstar. Physically he seems like the same guy but his self confidence has vanished. He had some swagger back then.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with 29 points and 9 rebounds. Almost a double double.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Ayton is balling out and doing it all on both sides of the court. If it weren't for the foul trouble he might have been our top scorer tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton goes to the bench with 31 points and 9 rebounds.

 

[Phrazbit]

I'm not saying we should expect a run of 40 point wins, but I do think that this lineup is legitimately really good and it irks me that we've mostly been using it at the end of games when we're trailing.

When’s the last time the Suns really blew out a team?

The Knicks a couple weeks ago?

We smeared the Knicks pretty good a couple weeks ago.

Forgot about that one but it doesn’t happen very often.
