Phoenix Suns injury report at Chicago Bulls:Cody Martin (sports hernia) and Jalen Bridges (G League) OUT.

 

[leclerc]

Should be winnable. What lineups will they come up with? Renewed trust in the players choking in Texas? One would think so.

 

[CardNots]

Not one ounce of anticipation in these old bones. Not one…

Ditto. I may just skip this one.

we usually have a good game after prolongingly scraping the bottom for a while - normally id be hoping today is one of those days but honestly it doesn't matter

 

[Mainstreet]

Ditto. I may just skip this one.

It's sad when fans going into games expect to lose. I understand your feelings.

For some reason, I think Cody Martin may give the team a bump, especially defensively, that is if Bud plays him.

He is still out tonight, though.

Booker is the key so put a loss up

He had a hernia. Shouldn’t this be a red flag during physicals? Or did we just want to move Nurk that bad?

Move Nurk. Plus Martin is a 6'6" wing so he was more redundancy than missing ingredient.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

we're like that horse you race with other inexperienced racehorses to boost the racehorse's confidence - young losing squads look forward to playing us

 

[Yuma]

I always like Geddy and White. Neither are supposedly as good as Booker and Beal.

 

[Yuma]

I think it was more about the non-guaranteed contract at the end of the season. The last three guys we got are all non-guaranteed. Supposedly that gets us under the second apron if we waive them.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

not feeling the chicago uniforms - no kinda way

 

[Yuma]

Bulls seem to be accumulating mostly hustle guys and three shooters.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think it's the latter. The Suns probably wanted to move Nurkic that much.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

richards kept his position and didn't leave his feet there - that's what bud wants

 

[Yuma]

Did they move the stantion of our basket back by a couple inches? Suns missing EVERYTHING!

 

[Yuma]

Huerter put a HOF move on KD for that three.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

down by 11 in the first quarter again - it's like we never left san antonio

Slow moving train wreck here at the end of the season. We've only won 1 game in the last 6 or 7 games? I lost track.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

did beal start or something? or did he come in off the bench and is already back on it?
