i wonder how bad Crowder’s ankle is or if they’re just taking super precaution with the playoffs coming up.

Can we beat a tanking team?

When Crowder injured his ankle I thought Saric would be out longer. It goes to show one can never tell about these things.

Can we beat a tanking team?

I think the Thunder were trying to prove a point after their 57 point loss.

I'd settle for any win, but I'd like for the Suns to be able to rest their starters.

Cavaliers are not a terrible team even with injuries.

See their box score against Miami.

In some games last night, the Lakers beat the Nuggets, Jazz beat Spurs, Warriors beat Pelicans and Hawks beat Portland.

Suns are in 2nd place in the West although they are tied with the Jazz in the loss column and own the tiebreaker.

With the Nuggets loss, the Suns get a little breathing room.

It would be great if we could pulverize this team and get our guys a little extra rest with a tough back to back against Atlanta tomorrow.

Hmm. Those mid-range shots have been working. Someone should check the standings.

doesnt matter where you are shooting from if you make a high enough percentage. 48 percent from midrange is good enough.

Nearing time for tip-off.

Timeout with the score tied 9-9 at the 6:52 mark in 1st.

Another timeout. Cavaliers lead 20-19 hitting 4-8 from three.

Booker (15) and Ayton (4) have all the Suns points.
