we need to win this game
Yeah, I am not seeing that at all.

We just aren't in the Spurs league, at least not without Dillon.

I can't get over hearing those shooting stats since Feb. We are getting up a lot less 2 point shots without Dillion and Mark, and Jalen Green has straight shot us out of several games as well.

Yes. 7 plays 8 - loser plays winner of 9 10. Loser of that is eliminated, winner is the 8 seed.

So, yeah if we do make it in as the 7 seed, this is a preview of our playoff series. Suns really needed the 6 seed to avoid first round elimination, and I think last nights loss put an end to that being a possibility.

The Suns need to get healthy in the worst way. If not, this team will be a play in. If healthy they could be a dangerous play in but their path would be brutal.

I believe they call this a scheduled loss.

If so, then let the rookies and bench play big minutes. Maybe some will have career games. It's happened to the Suns many times, perhaps catching the Spurs napping.

This was the Suns last injury report. Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen are QUESTIONABLE.

I'm so ready to let the rookies wade into deep water this game including Koby Brea. Maybe CJ Huntley too.
i'll be happy if fleming continues to play like a starter - if manman gets a block on wemby or hits a couple 3s to open the paint for book and jalen - i do recall ott going small ball against san antonio (when we beat them) but that was when we had brooks and no fleming

When Fleming and Brea were drafted, I thought perhaps Brea was going to be the one we are seeing contribute first because of his shooting. If he keeps on this trajectory, the Suns could have their forward of the future.

i bought a 7 foot long couch so i could stretch out for those good daytime naps - one of my better investments - today i sat in the middle and spread my arms just to see how long fleming's are - holy crap man - his 7'5" wingspan can touch both of my coffee tables at the same time - i measured it

7'5" and fleming is only 6'9" - this is why he can have more blocks then fouls - it's nuts - im 5'10 and my wingspan is 6'

Suns injury update at Spurs:

Royce O'Neale (left knee soreness) downgraded from QUESTIONABLE to OUT.

Grayson Allen (left knee soreness) and now Haywood Highsmith (right knee injury management) QUESTIONABLE. #Suns

Royce O’Neale is missing his first game of the season tonight with left knee soreness.

He and Oso Ighodaro were the only Suns players to appear in all 69 games.

Wise investment. We made sure we got a big one as well. Fantastic for after dinner naps.
