Go Gillespie!! I like it. He's been a bit exposed as he's gotten more playing time lately, but I still like the way we play when he is out there. Dunn also starting. I like this lineup.

Richards looks frisky so far. Our cap situation may be dire, but I would not want to have Scottie Barnes on a max contract.

I've taken the last several games off but tuned in when I saw the lineup. Little more noticeable pride on defense already.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Suns make a run at the end of the season now. This lineup is almost exactly what you need around Durant and Booker. Toughness, size, grit.

Tyus ans Plumlee with an immediate turnover, throwaway, then airball.

This ain't rocket science, Bud.

The Tyus Plumlee coukd be the ugliest 2 man game in history. Can't believe we're like 60+ games in and we're still trying this shit.

Hey, the Suns are actually trying. And playing well because of it. This rotation is much much better than what we have been using in the past.

Weird how playing guys who put forth effort will usually end up being a positive experience.

This pisses me off. It's the ultimate proof that the are capable, but not willing to play like this every game.

EJ saying that the bench unit playing so well "helps" KD
That it is good that Bud keeping them in the game

Don't wanna be stirring up stuff but with 4 mins left in the quarter he was just sitting at the end of the bench with his hands folded. Don't think he was too fussy.....

Awful truth is that was some of our best ball movement in a long time during that 2nd quarter
We for whatever reason, players or coaching tend to stagnate trying to get the ball to KD

Tonight's performance is what you want to see against a bad team - build up a first half lead, sustain it through the 3rd quarter and then you can rest the verterans some in the 4th.
