I have seen the future of the Phoenix Suns, and its name is Collin Gillespie.
Game is not over yet and it’s pretty painfully clear. Almost since the beginning of the season Dillon Brooks has looked like the multimillion dollar all star, and Booker the journeyman. Tonight against the Lakers with Books and Allen out everybody stepped up (Nigel??) and the Suns once again played better, making the Lakers look old, slow and out of sync. Yeah, back to backs. But they had basically everyone, including very, very old LeBron. Brooks looks like he’s in his prime, on the other hand. Tough decisions ahead for the Suns methinks, if they want to keep wining.
Collin Gillespie...the 2nd coming of Hornacek!!
