I wouldn't mind seeing us get one more good game under our belt before resting everyone for the last game of the year. even resting guys, going into the playoffs losing 6 of 7 to end such an incredible regular season will just leaves a somewhat bad taste in my mouth for a week while we wait to really get it in on in the first round.

Plus Utah is still fighting for playoff seeding. This is a big game for them. The Booker-Mitchell matchup is always fun. Let’s come out of this game unscathed and get back to playing Suns basketball. That Utah crowd is boisterous.

I'd love to see some killer instinct tonight. Play aggressive and scrappy, and get into that playoff mindset. They've been a little flat footed for the past 2 weeks, so it's time to switch up the gears a little bit.

I don't care about this game at all.
I do care that we are resting too much when we don't really need it and are getting used to losing.

Well, considering the way we have played lately if we are going to play the starters, I actually would like us to play well on this one and win.

Otherwise don't play them at all.

And for the last game we should absolutely sit everyone.

On Bally Sports Arizona pregame they said the open roster spot was given to Ish Wainright. This is the first time I have heard it without equivocation.

I hope Iffe is the third point guard tonight... please. Let's see what he can do. We have seen enough of Payton.
