We feel the need for EIGHTEEN.

good to see they think Booker's hammy is minor.

Book could use some more rest given his workload last year but he was just starting to really heat up. I think they may start giving CP some days off later in the season even though he’d probably be against it.

I don't think he can. I watched him struggle to keep guys in front of him multiple times. I still think Shamet has much to contribute and if he gets streaky it only helps us. We will find out. We are going to need him to step up big time until Booker is healthy.

They are going to lose eventually. But this team does not seem to run on emotion. They simply play hard and go about their business. They know their defense will keep games close even when their offense falters, and their depth gives them an advantage late in games when the other team is fatigued.

Its a pleasure to watch them. James Jones deserves a lot of credit.

Tuesday was a huge test, but Friday will be the biggest test of the year so far. Even if they lose, if they keep it close and competitive, I won't be that upset.

Yeah it’ll be good to see us compete without Book. Obviously we’re better with him but a great measuring stick for our guys.

This is the most encouraging thing I have heard about Abdel Nader in awhile.

Isaiah Stewart is a heavyweight with a motor as we saw in that incident with Lebron.

Landry Shamet is starting in place of Devin Booker.
