the green hornet played great
Bookers efficiency and his three ball falling now will take this team far
l give Royce a big time A
The contributions of Fleming & Maluach really LENGTHEN our team. Love too see it! And Brea has a future too. Kid can shoot. He'll come on next year after lighting it up in next year's Summer League and Preseason.
I wish Green was killing it at the end of games as much as the beginning. He not bad at the end but he's killing it at the beginning of games.
Green gets to the hoop man and he sets up a lot of hockey assist
If this is who Dunn is, Suns need to sell high this summer before the rest of the NBA catch on. The rest of the NBA still thinks Dunn is a high level defender in process of unlocking his shot. If a deal comes by for a late 1st Rd Pick and a role player, Suns should take it and RUN.
Glad Green is turning it around. Still makes me nervous when he handles the ball a lot. Could be a big plus for other players with the attention he’ll draw.
Dunn’s inability to score consistently is going to do him in with Suns. Have to play defense and score to stick with team. Hope Koby is also working on upgrading his defense in G League.
i think it's a good take. And I did find some of your previous ones to be overly negative.
Jalen Green is awesome, he plays defense too , steals rebounds you know that’s apart of basketball not just shooting. He passes the ball too , He’s coming out of preseason form. Nice to have him for this playoff push let’s appreciate that folks.
The BUCKS are awful..defensively…Giannis should have asked out!
do they need to be 6th seed or 4th seed who will they play on first round will determine their future
