Shams: KD has injured calf, to be re-evaluated in 2 weeks

Guess we get to see how good the system is and how well the players are in it. KD has bailed us out quite a bit in 4th quarters, but maybe the ball will move a little better while he's out?

more to the point, how do we account for 28 points and 7 rebounds per game

If I were the Suns, I'd be watching a lot of video on how the Warriors are winning with a small lineup and pick up some of their strategy.

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.

I’m only speculating but if it’s not injuries, new staff, deeper team… maybe it’s a lifestyle issue. Is he out late up to other activities?

Good opportunity for someone to step up, we will not win a chip if we fall apart due to injuries.
Coach Boomhauer wont let that happen.
Booker needs to be done being sick or whatever.
Dunn is close
Can we get 25-30 pts from Plumb Lee, Oso, and Bol?
Would be nice for Beal to go supernova for a month or so.
Let Budihammer figure it out

I don’t expect the Suns to stay on this pace without Durant. However, I would love to see some guys step up so we can keep things respectable while Durant is out.

Could be, doesn't help that his legs are as big as my arms.

By multiple other players stepping up. Beal and Booker for starters are capable of doing much more than they have.
