Allen, you are such a distraction to the team, just retire already
LOL. Clark hating on Suns announcers to the grave.
Wemby is going to eat the Suns for lunch. Times like this the Suns miss Dayo Ayton.
Greyson Allen bulked up and put too much weight on his joints.There was no reason for a catch-and-shoot bomber on the perimeter to go Hulk like that. The best bombers historically were skinny dudes.
