LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.– Twenty-seven ideas on the interesting, crazy, race for the playoffs in the West, for Gary Trent Jr.s 27 points in a 125-115 win by Portland over Denver on Thursday.
1. Monty Williams passed his star player outside the Suns locker space and asked if anyone had a hammer. It was an odd request, and Williams was smiling when he said it, but it was also clear he planned to smash Devin Booker if handed the mallet. Why? Because in a video game the Suns merely could not afford to lose if they are to manage the unimaginable, they require Booker. And he had actually gotten his 5th foul in the third quarter on Thursday.
2. “I enjoy him, but this is why animals eat their young,” Williams stated to those people loafing and to no one in specific.
3. Its eat or be eaten in the race for 8th in the West, which is formally half over in the bubble portion. The team no one saw coming, the Suns, cant lose.
