Quins shown in the past over and over that he knew exactly the right thing to do or the right move to make. He just gotta show us he could do it consistently. No more blunder like the one against the Lakers

Lol Booker and the Suns were two offensive rebounds away from being down 12+ and the game being over.

And the Jazz were helped by several major bounces on the offensive glass... Comon dude...

We won and that is freaking great. Seriously - losing to them 7 straight times was pretty damn tough.

But there are several red flags in that game that unfortunately are not going away.

We’re up 108-99, House plays good defense on Booker forces a missed shot with help from Whiteside but Ayton gets offensive rebound and scores. Then we’re up 110-101 and Booker gets swatted into the shadow realm but it goes right into a Suns players hand which then leads to 3. Without either one of those plays the Suns go down double digits and game is over. Score did not reflect how much we outplayed them in the second half. Regardless all that matters is we got the W.

i mean, securing defensive boards in the clutch has been one of our biggest woes. regardless of our overall rebounding stats, we just can't rebound when it matters.

Meh.

The Suns came out swinging hard and were playing at playoff intensity, after their loss to the Pels. They were calling it a playoff game during mic'd up segments on their bench. They put us in a big early hole.

We overcame a lot of the stuff that usually buries us, and House closing over Royce was a revolutionary progression.

This was a GREAT win.

That was actually Mitchell I think that mentioned it was a playoff game.

And it was a GREAT win - I'm not saying otherwise. But its also hopefully not something that the team doesn't ignore in terms of all the things that went wrong.

And a rather severe alarming stat - look at their starters vs. our starters +/-. Its pretty ugly.

Anyone want to say something nice about Rudy Gay? I'm having a hard time.

You can’t move that kind of salary with a second rounder. NAW’s salary is going to really hamstring us here. We may have to offload another first rounder in a deal that’s primarily a salary move where we can shave $4-6M or so.

But the new owner isn't in this to save money. He assured us.
