This will be loss 7 of 8. All but two coming by double digits, and two of those to the rockets. This is as bad a stretch for the suns as any during the McDonough era.

I can hardly wait for the Suns to return home to play the Pelicans on Saturday.

Deandre Ayton says he looks to return for the Clippers game.

We’re spending 60 million dollars a year on two role players moving forward.

That’s not good for a team that needs major upgrades.

This team would have had a really bright future if just one of their two lottery picks in a loaded draft in 2020 ended up a star. Instead they got two roles, but still paid them like stars.

I don't expect the Suns to beat the Clippers, do you?

Here is the silver lining of losing: it encourages the front office to put coach Williams on the hot seat. (I don't suppose it would be a jerk and fire him while so many players are injured.) Wish Tom Thibodeau were available (he's not).
Getting rid of Monty would be a mistake, IMO. Yes he has his faults but our problems are from a lack of bodies and those bodies we do have just don’t play basketball as well as we’d like.

Devin Booker is hoping he is ready to play against the Clippers.

Cam Payne is OUT.

Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker are QUESTIONABLE.

I think those contracts aren’t bad at all. Especially when the new CBA kicks in and factors streaming and gambling.

I don’t think it’s the contract it’s the fact that both are still inconsistent at this stage. That’s really head scratching to me. I think that speaks more to development. I’ve said before developing and nurturing talent is just as important as talent itself.

Yotes have won 2 of the last three, and the one they lost was by just 1 goal.
