    Imagine Amen, his twin brother Ausar, Tari, and Bari just wreaking havoc defensively....

    For now it is the resilience of the underdog.

    If Jalen played good defense he’d find his way onto the court in 4th quarters, regardless of his shooting struggles.

    Sengun’s struggles against double teams is a recent phenomenon. I think teams have noticed that he is more hesitant when he first gets the ball and are waiting until later in the shot clock to send the doubles. He’ll figure it out.

    It’s looking like future is going to revolve around Sengun, Amen, and Smith.

    Fred VanVleet has been the leader this team needs.

    what’s the deal with Cam Thompson? How did a conversation about Cam Whitmore turn into a Cam Thompson reference? Did the reporter get confused and inject Cam Thompson name into the conversation? Or is Amen Thompson really close with Cam Thompson?

    lol...

    I'm buying Amen/Tari as starters though. Amen is definitely one of the 5 best players on this team (probably 2nd behind Alpe) and I think Tari would probably have a real case too if not for the injury. I do wonder if they'll ask Brooks to come off the bench before the season's done. Tari may or may not return but Amen is absolutely making it known. This offseason will be a critical point again.

    There's a difference in the eyes of Amen versus Jalen. He's in the moment. Locked in.

    Suns only realized after the Rockets game that they should have played O'Neale instead of Okogie and played Bol Bol more.....
