Ryan Dunn is PROBABLE.

Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal are QUESTIONABLE.

so the ankle is still a thing - it explains the reduced minutes and people getting by him

Yeah, let's get everyone healthy. The Suns front office showed what was important at the trade deadline… money.

 

[BirdGangThing]

what will we see tonight? better not be more disfunction - this whole team can be mad as they want but truth is ish-bia is paying them a lot of money to win basketball games - and they're not

so i don't want to hear about no grown ass butt hurt players upset because they were shopped - look at our record - and our payroll - of course you were shopped

last part of the season gonna go one of two ways - the predictable playoff miss or a late season gel

late season gel is all we can hope for - when everything suddenly clicks after months of empty confidence - these teams can go on deep runs but do we have any chance of being one?

no

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Yay, a game we can win!

semi decent tix available for $40 apiece - i think im going to wait a week or two - you know - sit court side for $100

 

[mjb21aztd]

Yay, a game we can win!

I wouldnt coumt on that i dont feel confident in anyyy suns gm the way this trashhh def is.....

 

[Superbone]

No Durant or Beal, who knows. Do the Jazz double-team Book on every possession? It will be interesting to see how the players play post-trade deadline.

Cody Martin and Vasalije Micic will not play tonight, for those wondering. They’re not in Phoenix quite yet

Repost:

James Jones will take questions from the media tonight.

Well, um...since the team's problem is probably 75 percent mental (two of the stars having too laid-back-personalities), it always would have been a more satisfying resolution if the players just resolved to change, rather than leaning on the crutch of a newly acquired teammate. Perhaps Booker and Durant will just do that: concede that their mental and emotional approach doesn't work, and successfully change. It's up to them now, as it was before the deadline.

I'll be a few rows behind the Suns bench!

if dunn isn't starting the ankle probably still an issue - wish they'd let him heal if that's the case

 

[Mainstreet]

Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton are OUT for the Jazz.

flexibility. Ishbia has already way overspent and continues to do so.

 

[Mainstreet]

A reminder, the Suns play the Nuggets at home tomorrow in a back-to-back affair.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

flexibility. Ishbia has already way overspent and continues to do so.inning and coimpeting is the most important.

And I thought the idea was to win.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jazz jump off to a 7-2 lead.

And I thought the idea was to win.

Long term it does.

Kessler kind of reminds me of Mark Eaton.
