[Mainstreet]

Suns have four less losses at the play-in line with twelve games to go.

It sounds like Landry Shamet was out as a measure to prevent another stress fracture. He says he has screws in both feet.

The Thunder are tied for the 8th seed in the West.

Everything we're doing right now - without KD or without Bridges/Johnson (whichever way you see it) we're doing with one hand tied behind our backs

If people could keep that in mind...

But anyways. I hope Shamet is truly ready. And I hope Payne not only continues to contribute but also involves the bench because let's face it - as of now - each game's best bench player - will probably be on the court with our "top 4" at the end of the night

Bench player's productions vary, that's why a lot of them are bench players. It's why I rely less on their stat averages as compared to starters. If you're Cam Payne you find who's hot and you get them the ball. And if you're Monty Williams you give them that 4th quarter time slot.

So while I'm glad Payne got his game on, he still needs to drop dimes like an informant working for the fbi as he is essentially interviewing candidates to close the MF game

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is available to play for OKC on Sunday.

Although it's the decision of the Suns and Landry Shamet to make, I think fans would have better understood the situation if they had known the extent of his injury.

It's good to know that Monty thinks highly of Darius Bazley especially for the future.

It hasn't been announced as yet who the Suns will start at center with Ayton out.

My guess is Biz. But I'm equally fine with Jock.

I will go with Jock as he seems to be on the upswing again but who knows.

Biz might be the better able to compete with the kids on the Thunder underneath the basket.

You are right! Biz will start.

Time to get Bizzy!

Yeah… especially looking at that starting lineup. Yikes.

The final 12 game stretch is brutal.

 

[Covert Rain]

Thank goodness for GS and the T-pups dropping a couple or Ayton being out could have been a big blow timing wise.

They’re basically the 09’ Thunder right now. Given their young talent and assets it’s going to be a great decade for OKC.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

Okogie hits a corner three. Suns lead 3-2.
