The Suns have won 10 of their last 12 games and three in a row.

Gonna say again that NBA scheduling sucks

If you’re going to make teams play back to backs, then both teams should be coming off of the first half of the back to back

KD either doesn't want to play the Suns or is having an internal hissy fit about his new team already.

hoping grayson - maybe dunn tonight - both are fresh - book is due for a big game

was watching some maluach training - he's getting there it's not going to take a year - already shoots the 3 better than williams oso richards - his offensive game isn't the problem

looks like defensive responsibilities on the fly is what they're focusing on - when to rotate - when to help - avoiding screens and his teammates at the same time - he's more than physically capable but when he's late it can lead to fouls - they're trying to glue his feet to the ground so he doesn't get baited

i think maluach may be close

I assume Williams will be out for management tonight. Is Man Man available or is he still with the g league? It would be great to have Grayson back for this game.

The Rockets will be shorthanded tonight beyond the absence of Kevin Durant.

3 games in 4 nights at the tail end of a back-to-back while the Rockets haven't played since Friday makes this one feel like a scheduled loss. Fingers crossed our team proves me wrong.

So will we. I think it's likely we won't have Allen, Dunn, Fleming, or Williams tonight in addition to you know who. :p

The way this team plays, I no longer expect any game to be a scheduled loss. I mean they're not going to win them all but they are sure going to try their darnedest to win no matter how much rest they have, who they have available, or who they're playing. They're not lying down for ANYBODY.

Although I have the impression he had that nickname well before coming to Phoenix, "Man Man" is one of the worst basketball nicknames I've heard, for being childish. Only "Stat" (Standing Tall and Talented") and "Horny" (Jeff Hornacek) were more embarrassing.
Man Man is the nickname given to him by Cooper Flagg when they were both at Duke last year?

Well, seems like we aren't even going to try and win this one with them holding so many out.

Maybe it's the wise thing to do since we were likely going to lose anyway. I don't know I find it a bit frustrating nevertheless.
