Until I hear it from additional sources count me as skeptical about Devin Booker playing tonight.

The Suns injury report has yet to be submitted.

This would have been a FANTASTIC game with both teams 100%.

No injuries is all that I ask

They’re constructed similarly to us. Two deep teams. Can come at you in waves. Comparable centers. Older, but terrific pgs. Terrific wings. Both teams can play great defense.

It appears that Devin is in fact coming back and playing tonight. NOW he is out of H & S protocols.

Will Ayton let Bam dominate him?

Will Ayton let Bam dominate him?

It’s a shame we have to ask ourselves these questions

Will Ayton let Bam dominate him?

In 5 games against each other

Bam 16.2/8.8
Ayton 16.8/12.4

Pretty much. There just like us.
I think they might come out of the East

They still print newspapers?

They still print newspapers?

I believe so.
I used to subscribe to the Albuquerque Journal newspaper and I had it delivered to my house not too long ago.

Jimmy Butler is not playing tonight.

 

[Ronin]

Booker on minutes watch tonight. Monty says don't expect 35+ minutes from Booker.

Jimmy Butler is not playing tonight.

Still gonna be tough, but this evens the playing field a little bit.

Jimmy Butler is not playing tonight.

Erik Spoelstra says the reason is sinus congestion.

I gave up on that idea the last time we played the Heat but it can't hurt.

The key will be how Phoenix does on Tyler Herro. He always seems to go off playing the Suns and has been on a tear since the all-star break averaging 25.9 pts per game off the bench on 54/48/80 % shooting.
