The Suns stand to be without Dillon Brooks who received his 18th technical foul unless it is rescinded.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some crazy scores around the NBA heading into the Rockets game.

On Sunday, the Hornets won at the Timberwolves in Minnesota and the Mavericks beat the Lakers in Dallas.

 

[leclerc]

Rockets are long. Ott to play some athletic defenders if you ask me.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dillon Brooks technical rescinded so he will play versus the Rockets.

Lakers are a MASH unit at this point with no Luka/Reaves. And the Hornets have been pretty en Fuego the entire second half of the season.

that's good.

and the Technical Fouls suspension thing reboots back to zero once the playoffs start, right?

I haven't studied the Lakers situation up-close, but the thought occurred to me in passing, they might be resting Luka and Reaves.

Yes

Not with seeding on the line like it is. They could go from 3 seed to 5 seed.

And I doubt either will be back this year.

That's what I'm reading but I'd like to find the rule.

Forgive me for being suspicious when the Lakers do anything. Wink.

Note - this was before the end of last night's HOU/GSW game that Houston won.

I know how the Lakers are. They have their eye on something. LOL

 

[Proximo]

that's good.

Yes - but I don't think it does for the play in games.

lakers lost luka - ant's knee is all jacked up but we're basically healthy fir the first time this year

Why does this matter. They Lakers can't beat anyone without Luka.

Pretty bad time to be playing at the worst level all season, but that's what is happening.

 

[Mainstreet]

Haywood Highsmith remains OUT.

Unfortunately, we won’t play either of those teams
If we’d only managed to get to the six seed

 

[Dback Jon]

Nuggets rally from double digits down to beat the Blazers in OT

Suns can do no worse than the eight seed now

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Kevin Durant on Phoenix Suns: "They've been playing great ball. I played for JO (Jordan Ott) before in Brooklyn and I kind of understand his mentality and his mindset for the game of basketball and him being in Cleveland and bringing that mentality here. You can see it. They crash the glass hard, they shoot a lot of 3s. They cover for each other in the paint on the defensive end. They create turnovers. That's the sign of a team that's been coached every day to the point where they don't even have to talk about it or think about it. It's like breathing to them now. They know how they want to play. They did a great job putting the team together, putting the coaching staff together." #Suns #Rockets
