After the game at the Nuggets, the Suns play at the Mavericks on Sunday, the Grizzlies on Monday and the Rockets on Wednesday.

 

[Mainstreet]

Only 20 games left in the season and a very tough schedule awaits the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nikola Jokic and Asron Gordon are QUESTIONABLE for the Nuggets on Friday.

Proof there is a god I actually smiled for the second time this year.

I don't know if that helps or hurts us. Normal teams could take advantage of Jokic being out but the Suns have displayed an uncanny ability to play down to their competition and celebrate wins before the game is played.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bradley Beal is QUESTIONABLE.

Coach needs to play Bol (at least give him a couple of tries), Dunn and Gillespie, and give fewer minutes to Jones, Allen and (partially) O'Neale. How many more times will he roll out those low effort lineups and let them blow games for us?

 

[leclerc]

In this one I am looking for quicker time-outs when they fall behind quickly, for instance by giving up turn overs and easy baskets.

[BirdGangThing]

I guess we'll find out starting tonight. There was a lot to learn from the Clippers game. Let's see if any of it rubbed off on Bud. You can't teach heart and effort and that's what we've been missing this year. Dunn and Gillespie bring the most by a country mile. It is a disservice not to play them.

I agree. I don't necessarily need them to start, but I need them to get a lot of minutes.

Lazy Defense by Durant then a Lazy pass by Durant. Geezus, their perimeter defense is pathetic.

 

[Mainstreet]
