Kind of tells you that the Lakes are better than the Suns–AD/LBJ seem better than the suns big 3. I mean those guys can shoot and KD seems to try on D, but they’re kind of limited defensively. Booker just has no chance at flummoxing Kawhi while LBJ/AD have much better luck with their height, bulk, mobility and desire. Wouldn’t want to face Lakes in POs.
Nice to see TMann hit shots
Russ logged only 15 mins–about right in my book as this gives him fewer chances to muck things up–don’t get me wrong, he did some nice things–loved his 2 steals–so those were a productive 15 mins.
Almost a triple double for James (cut down his TOs somewhat)
Hope Kawhi’s eye is just fine

Wonder what they’re saying over on the Sun’s blog?

It’s safe to say that the clips have atoned for last nite’s sin. Onward.

Indeed. Toronto, Memphis and then two games that will have a big impact on the race for playoff seeding and home court advantage. We also get a slight advantage: OKC looks a bit tired and slipping defensively, Minnesota will end an incredibly brutal stretch with the game vs us. Plus the Ja injury, with two games left vs them, certainly helps

Oooooh yeah! How beautiful was THAT for a second half?! Loved it: much better defense, a rotation that gets way more out of Coffey and Russ, beautiful playing style, Mann looking great, Zu dominant…

I’m hyped up: 3-1 in maybe the most important week of the season, winning all 3 of the critical games and dealing heavy blows to Phoenix and NOLA.

Hope everyone is healthy. The race for the top 3 is on!

Nice bounce back win. This is heartening because it tells us we can compete in all of these nasty B2Bs coming up in the second half of the season. With Ja out we might head into Sunday’s game in Minny with a shot at moving up in the standings.

I wanted Plum to take that corner 3, just to see.

Also back to another comment: one of those games that shows what a difference it makes when Mann hits his 3s

Got a lead – and we got room for improvement. Hope they come out in the 3rd with better defense and focus

Phoenix way too comfortable and we aren’t forcing turnovers at all, they as the inferior defense do. Get Russ on Booker and KD with the clear task of making them uncomfortable. Very disappointed with our lack of resistance so far
