Phoenix Suns injury report at Chicago Bulls:Cody Martin (sports hernia) and Jalen Bridges (G League) OUT.

 

[leclerc]

Should be winnable. What lineups will they come up with? Renewed trust in the players choking in Texas? One would think so.

Not one ounce of anticipation in these old bones. Not one…

Ditto. I may just skip this one.

we usually have a good game after prolongingly scraping the bottom for a while - normally id be hoping today is one of those days but honestly it doesn't matter

 

[Mainstreet]

Ditto. I may just skip this one.

It's sad when fans going into games expect to lose. I understand your feelings.

For some reason, I think Cody Martin may give the team a bump, especially defensively, that is if Bud plays him.

He is still out tonight, though.

Booker is the key so put a loss up

He had a hernia. Shouldn’t this be a red flag during physicals? Or did we just want to move Nurk that bad?

Move Nurk. Plus Martin is a 6'6" wing so he was more redundancy than missing ingredient.

 

[BirdGangThing]

we're like that horse you race with other inexperienced racehorses to boost the racehorse's confidence - young losing squads look forward to playing us

 

[Yuma]

I always like Geddy and White. Neither are supposedly as good as Booker and Beal.

 

[Yuma]

I think it was more about the non-guaranteed contract at the end of the season. The last three guys we got are all non-guaranteed. Supposedly that gets us under the second apron if we waive them.

 

[BirdGangThing]

not feeling the chicago uniforms - no kinda way

 

[Yuma]

Bulls seem to be accumulating mostly hustle guys and three shooters.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think it's the latter. The Suns probably wanted to move Nurkic that much.

 

[BirdGangThing]

richards kept his position and didn't leave his feet there - that's what bud wants

 

[Yuma]

Did they move the stantion of our basket back by a couple inches? Suns missing EVERYTHING!

 

[Yuma]

Huerter put a HOF move on KD for that three.

 

[BirdGangThing]

down by 11 in the first quarter again - it's like we never left san antonio

Slow moving train wreck here at the end of the season. We've only won 1 game in the last 6 or 7 games? I lost track.

 

[BirdGangThing]

did beal start or something? or did he come in off the bench and is already back on it?
