Suns @ Hawks Friday game thread, 1-23-2026

[Weenus O'Baggins]

We’re not allowed to have nice things in Phx. Wonder how many games Book will miss? And don’t get me started on Jalen Green. He’s quickly becoming my least favorite player…What will it be, another two months missed from him?

Disregard

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I thought you said favorite player. Green is freaking booty cheeks soft

 

[Mainstreet]

The injuries made the loss especially disheartening. Suns finish their six game road trip at 3-3.

 

[Dback Jon]

Well, this game couldn’t have been any bigger of a disaster

Jalen’s hammy is cooked.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Jalen’s hammy is cooked.

Or he is soft as fudge. I think he is soft

 

[Folster]

Jalen’s hammy is cooked.

I don't get it. He's 23.

How silly does that Book non-appreciation thread look now?

 

[JosiahLee]

It is stupid to dislike a player due to injury.

Nah, he’s in the dog house. The best ability is availability. Lowering my expectations for him…He’s basically the basketball version of Darius Robinson.

 

[Phrazbit]

This really sucks... we're going to struggle bad if Booker misses serious time.

bad night all the way around - suns were twice deflated - hearts broken watching jalen leave then went into shock when book limped off

after that the hawks doubled grayson and attacked gillespie on offense - if book and jalen are out for the foreseeable ott is going to have to figure that out because size quickly became an issue

our bench thrives on defense and they're one of the best in the league - they've been the difference in games - i don't think book will be out forever - all star weekend starts feb 13th goes through the 15th - not sure how many games in between them but a lot are at home

this home stretch was supposed to be our time to shine - we've had one of the toughest schedules - so bummed

Very much false. It can always be worse.

Book's ankle didn't look that bad as he could walk off the court with minor assistance. Green's may be more due to nutrition, he ought to stay away from all the soft drinks and beers.
Brooks has come down to earth with his shooting, and he is not a primary scorer on any NBA team.

guessing we'll see a new post shortly

Yeah because I’m sure he wants to be injured, or thought he would get injured. crap happens.

 

[GatorAZ]

I don't get it. He's 23.

How old was KJ when his woes started?

soft drinks and beers? that looked like severe damage they hoped would heal

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Hes played less than 6 quarters for 44 games because his hamstring has an owie. Hes soft

and Gillespie is going to be a McConnel with a 3pt shot type player, and MW needs to work on strength to be more effective

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

And that is coming back twice when deemed healthy and he has played two quarters before he taps out

 

[Folster]

92-93, Age 26 was the first season he missed significant time.

 

[clyde2tw]

Green got problem from explosive acceleration to drive by defenders, which he used to do before. So, his muschle status is not recovered to that level yet.

 

[Cheesebeef]

The Jalen Green stuff is nuts

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

yay yay we're playing jalen green- it's like gaining a star at the trade deadline - oh the possibilities - oh nos - where did jalen go - quick search twitter - nobody knows but everybody knows- oh nos again - book is down - i hope he's just doing like the soccer players- damn - he ran right into that guy - that don't look good - they're doubling grayson - gillespie can't do it on his own - take smarter shots dillon - make the freakin 3 goody - oh nos
