Sign of the COVID times.

Two games in two days vs. the same team, but both at their arena.

I don't think we've ever seen that before. Even in the playoffs.

Maybe it's happened but I can't remember when. It's not a terrible idea to minimize traveling. However, five games in seven days is brutal. I haven't looked at other teams scheduling but I hope it's not just the Suns.

Definitely doesn't balance out. Our back to back home games are against the Nuggets. These are our only two games against the Kings this season.

So far. Only half the schedule has been released.

Ah. I was wondering why it ended in early March.

Not really seeing much improvement, really. Fox and Bagley should be better, but most of the rest of their roster are established known commodities: Barnes/Holmes/Buddy. They lost Bogi.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Suns were better last year and have added value to an even younger team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty is more concerned about winning than managing minutes on back-to-back games.

Luke Walton says it was tough to let Frank Kaminsky go. I haven't heard anything about Frank playing tonight.

Ugh suns need saric he is a valuable player any news on timeline return

Maybe next week sometime. I don't expect Saric back for tomorrow's game.

Tuesday or Thursday would be a guess.

 

[GatorAZ]

On b2b’s without travel there shouldn’t be concerns. Further down the road I’d give CP3 a day off in the right situation.
