No point in going back to your hole anytime soon.

suns have to kick it in portland for a full two days after getting their asses kicked - i wonder if book and ayton (who were talking mad ish to each other last night) will do lunch

Booker showed me some heart, but bad game for this team

 

[leclerc]

This is a difficult one to predict (just kidding) but I will go for a L here. Maybe close to halftime and then get beaten by twenty again. Move along. There is nothing to see.

i think bud's all but given up on playing the big 3 together on the court at the same time - sure - he'll do it at the end of close games but not during the game

It will be interesting to see if anyone is held out since we have been reporting clean health for everyone for a couple games now. What happens if Beal is a healthy DNP?

Beal is just a bad fit. Then when he’s out there he doesn’t want to be the number one guy when both book and kd are out.

The Suns again have no one on their injury report.

I saw a mid-season report by the G League coach. He claims all the players have improved their games. I know TyTy has put up some triple doubles and was the player of the week, etc. If that is halfway true, I don't feel bad if Oso goes there and is actually learning.

gillespie being with the team makes me wonder if tyus will still be on the team when the trade deadline expires - $3 million dollar contract and has been playing solid basketball as far as offense goes

nurk + tyus + crappy first round picks = ?

We can't send out two guys. Would have to be separate trades. Just FYI. But I get what you mean.

The Suns can't aggregate salaries in a single trade, although they can take back multiple players if the salaries fit.

In that instance they can, minimum contract guys don’t have a salary effect on trades.

i wouldn't even be too upset about trading tyus - who we've turned into a spot up 3 shooter

I am tired of his 'push' shot. Learn something else and do it in a game man

I'm not. It is a great thing that a recent 2nd rounder is part of the Suns rotation partially because he has this shot (at least).

I saw Nurkic as part of the equation, so I went from there.

 

[BirdGangThing]

ok - i feel like the suns are going to play professional basketball tonight - thru at least 3 quarters and come out with the win which shouldn't feel like some major accomplishment but here we are

 

[Phrazbit]

If we no-show and get smoked by Portland again the Durant trade chatter will start to get really loud.

 

[Yuma]

Dbook 22 from tying the franchise scoring record. Could be in the first half on a good shooting night.

 

[Dback Jon]

Which sons are going to show up tonight?
