Re-evaluated in two weeks… no bueno. Good thing they’ve built themselves a bit of a cushion getting off to a hot start.

Need Dunn back ASAP. Bol should finally get some minutes

Yes, they’ll desperately need Bol’s height and shooting…
But this is time for Book to step up.

Suns schedule for next 2 weeks:
vs Sacramento, Nov 10th
@ Jazz, Nov 12th (in season tournament)
@ Sacramento, Nov 13th (B2B)
@ OKC, Nov 15th
@ Minnesota, Nov 17th
vs Magic, Nov 18th (B2B)
vs NYK, Nov 20th
2 weeks ends here and there's a gap until the next game (Nov 26th vs LAL as part of the in season tournament)

Should be aiming for at least 4-2 here, but more importantly, making sure Book/Beal don't overextend themselves in the same way KD did.

All those minutes sounds like it took its toll. 2 weeks out and I am sure they are going to ease him back. DAMN.

It's time for the Suns bench to step up with Durant out. The Suns will need O'Neale, Dunn and Okogie even more.

Lots of small ball on the horizon.

Bol Bol hasn't played a minute in the regular season. Time to find out if he can contribute.

it always happen to us, man.

The bench has stepped up. The ones who really need to step up are Book and Beal.

I'm concerned size, or lack thereof, will become a problem for the Suns. The talent is there otherwise to play at a high level although losing Durant will impact their record.

I agree to an extent but they are going to have to go deeper in the bench and everyone including the bench are going to be asked to do more.

Time to place a call to Frank The Tank.

I don't have a good feeling about this at all. Booker does not even appear to be able to win most Iso's this year.

Our only chance is going to be a lot of ball movement and 3 point shooting.

Devin Booker doesn't look like himself. It could be because he was ill or fatigue from the Olympics. I guess we will find out.

Time for a player like Allen to step up.

Book has been looking more like himself in spurts but yeah something has looked off. This is the 3rd new system in 3 years so I am not panicking yet.

It appears Devin is playing more like he did in the Olympics, filling any void a team may have, however, his shooting woes and usual burst seem to be lacking.

My guess is Booker could use some time off, but this is a luxury the Suns may not afford him.

I’m interested in finding what Durant’s true value is.

Since Durant’s arrival it has been clear to me he has been by far the best player on the team.

Book is only 28 years old and right in the absolute prime of his career. Dude shouldn’t need time off, Olympics or not, at that age.

Durant is certainly the player the Suns want to shoot the ball at crunch time but if the Suns lack any of their three stars, they are going to suffer. They really don't have any go-to player inside and the loss of Durant is only going to magnify the situation.

Booker has been ill so that may partially explain it, but when I look at his face, I see what looks to be a tired player.

Hopefully it's only a temporary thing. His shooting and lack of explosiveness also points to something being wrong.
