It's a much needed break to get everyone back.

it's not just the minutes our rookies are getting - but also who's not on the floor when they're getting them - no kd no beal - teams are paying attention to dunn's 3 now - and if oso can get some offense in the paint going - without constantly being stripped like nurk is - it'll be good for our outside in game

The Knicks will be without Precious Achiuwa (left hamstring strain), Miles McBride (left knee inflammation) and Mitchell Robinson (left ankle surgery).

 

[Mainstreet]

Jusuf Nurkic is QUESTIONABLE.

No changes otherwise.

Although improved for sure...maybe just maybe this bench isn't as good as we think it is. Just something to consider.

It would help if the bench didn't have to be starters.

 

[BirdGangThing]

who scores more tonight - book or mikal?

The Suns record is 9-6 after their loss to the Magic, not 9-5.

Yes I have these feelings too, mainly because some say Allen is a starter and he was for most of last year and his time with the Bucks. Then there's those that say "Dunn needs to be starter", he has impact but he's still a rookie, i'm not sure how much he can impact with limited minutes. He would probably foul out with more minutes. Then there's Royce, where does he truly fall? Is he actually impactful? Our lack of centers has Oso playing too.

Add these pieces to Book and it feels like we are in the time period pre-Ayton. Which is unwatchable basketball. I watched, or tried to watch the Magic, game, got bored, didn't really pay attention to the 2nd half.

It doesn't help that Royce has fallen off as of late after his hot start.

I never thought it was particularly good.

But I'm not really putting this on the bench, Book is not doing his job. Even when he does do it we aren't going to beat many good teams, but we have no chance when he no shows.

 

[Proximo]

Oh, you mean play like he has his whole career. The mistake you made was thinking the hot start would be the norm.

 

[Proximo]

Depends on which Book shows up.

If I was forced to choose right now, I say Mikal.
