I didn't like the way Booker was moving, hope he's better come Sunday.

Monty said he was dealing with overall soreness. He should’ve rested him at some point in the 4th against the Bucks. Holiday is obviously very physical and Book ran outta gas. Glad we’ve got 2 days off. SGA is gonna play Sunday. OKC is a solid team who’s fighting for their playoff lives.

Yes. Booker has been playing too many minutes of late. This is what Monty had to say about it.

I am more concerned about playing Booker into the ground than KD coming back. I think last night was a perfect example.

Yeah, well it's not much of an option. We barely beat Orlando with him.

We legit could miss out on the playoffs if we don't play him.

The Suns don't play again until Sunday but playing the Kings and 76ers back-to-back, away and home, on Friday and Saturday could be brutal.

Maybe. I mean if he wasn't on a back to back I would imagine he would have been more efficient in less time. However, we need KD back. The sooner the better. It makes the starting lineup a ton better and by default makes our bench deeper.

Exactly. The closing schedule is brutal.

Yep. This team needs to hang on. This is one of the few times I wish the regular season wasn't coming to an end. Usually, I can't wait for the playoffs to get started.

The Suns flattened out before going into the playoffs last season but they had the room to coast. No such luxury this season.

 

[Chaplin]

I'd be interested in seeing if there will be rumbles of KD coming back by the Sixer game.

They mentioned in pre-game that he was wowing people in shoot around.

Lakers, Warriors and Timberwolves lose Friday night. Mavericks win.

 

[leclerc]

You suck, Luka!

 

[95pro]

Lakers, Warriors and Timberwolves lose Friday night. Mavericks win.

I really wanted a T wolves win

 

[Mainstreet]

I really wanted a T wolves win

Yes, me too. I was watching the box score until the very end. It looked like the Timberwolves would win.

A Shamet sighting?!

 

[Mainstreet]

It would be amazing if Shamet plays. He has missed the last 25 games and only played in 30 games this season.

May be a blessing instead of coasting…
