great win, but they really need to get zach back on track, don't know what the fukk is wrong with him since new year...too many fukking jumpers when you have the talent to get by anybody and get to the cup. nice to see dunn/tyus really contributing.
Dunn damn near had a triple double
Zach has been weird man I'm starting to wonder why his godly status don't equal wins. seems like when he has a ok game or a bad one we win

i don't agree with that last sentence. they win/lost with the same regularity when he has a consistent 20-24 point game. prior to these last few games, his numbers in wins/losses ae almost identical. it's when he's really bad or gets really hot that they don't look as good, especially when the bench is sucky. same can be said for wiggins and KAT. the difference is that his offense usually makes up for his defense, but not lately. The biggest difference by far in wins vs losses for this team has been the bench looking much better. It has nothing to do with zach playing any better or worse. KAT has also really stepped up and wiggins has increased his efficiency (although still taking too many long twos).
EDIT: and better balance of PG play has been HUGE
I agree, but his lack of defense makes me think he's best as a 6th man. the bench has improved a lot and would only get getter with him on it. a few of those Gary Harris 3s tonight we're due to Zach being lost on that side of the floor. his scoring is amazing but at what cost?

nah, i still think he has to start especially with bazz settling better into his roloe with increased consistency. his scoring threat is too huge and allows KAT 1 on 1 coverage when zach is strong side to him, and also opens up lanes for wiggins. his D has significantly improved (really looks good against the clippers), but still has a ways to go. He did gave harris too much space trying to cheat down on jokic and gallo too much today. seems like everyone on their team hit every 3 they took. I wonder if his hip contusion and the MPG increase he has this year is catching up to him. doesn't look as explosive off the bounce or with good balance/lift on his jumper.
I went to workout during the game, but Lavine with another underwhelming performance in a win.
Funny how most of his big games come in losses.
I don't even hate Lavine, I just don't get how people don't think he should be a sixth man over a starter when that bench needs all the scoring it can get. When Shabazz does well off the bench they seem to be a lot more competitive simply because he's giving them points off the bench.

Bledsoe destroyed Lowry tonight
If that nikka can keep this play up and Phoenix can start winning Oh boy
Suns looking like they're ready to make a playoff push

Slappin and clowning chumps for fun.

Bledsoe and Booker might just be the most explosive backcourt after Steph and Klay.

Maybe if they had better chemistry.Steph & Klay actually look for each other.
It seems like Bledsoe is allergic to passing the ball to Booker.Booker is like his 4th option.
He'd rather run the pick n roll with Tyson Chandler/Alex Len or find PJ Tucker in the corner for 3's.
The former leads to a turnover 85% of the time.The latter, a brick.
He even looks for Brandon Knight more.
Until they show more connectivity, I can't give them that title yet.
I've never seen Bledsoe go "Let me find Book and get him going"
And considering that Booker might actually be the best scorer on the team
it shows a lack of basketball intelligence on Bledsoe's part.
Especially being a PG
