Man I miss Proski. This amount of injuries never happened on his watch

It sure seems that way. Perhaps more players played hurt back in those days.

In retrospect, Booker's groin "strain" was likely a tear. You are not out this long with a simple groin strain.

Devin Booker is traveling with the team.

Heard a soundbite on the radio where he said “he feels good”. So, he sounds really close. Maybe any day now.

I'm reading he should be ready for the Nets game.

I heard that on ESPN radio a couple days ago. They were speculating that's why he was with the team on the road trip. Let's hope he is healthy the rest of the way.

Yeah. Devin also traveled to San Antonio for the Spurs game with the team. His return appears near.

I don't have a good feeling about this game

 

[Yuma]

I fully expect an L this game. If a W occurs, I will put it as perhaps the greatest W to date!

How could you after that Hawks game? And now no Cam Johnson.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson is OUT due to right knee injury management.

Suns look like trash again.

 

[Mainstreet]

Danilo Gallinari, Mfiondu Kabengele and Marcus smart are out for the Celtics.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns with 14-10 lead with under 4 minutes in the 1st quarter.

Kyrie or KD would let bridges and ayton return to their defensive roles imo. It’s obvious that their offense is fools gold.

Kyrie would make us better until he got pissed about us not agreeing to give him a max deal - at which point he'd make some insane comment that pissed off the commissioner and got him suspended for the rest of the year. Durant would make us better until his next injury, which I believe is scheduled for 3 days after they return from the all star break. All told, whichever guy we got would probably have a lot of fun fishing with the rest of our guys sometime in April.

 

[Mainstreet]

Saban Lee enters the game.

Saban Lee with the three.
