Suns @ Nets Sunday game thread 4-25-2021

[Mainstreet]

On Sunday the Suns play the Nets in the fourth game of their five game road trip.

It's the first of back-to-back games as the Suns finish up their road trip on Monday against the Knicks.

Nets are 40-20 after beating the Celtics on Friday 109-104. Kemba Walker didn't play for the Celtics reportedly due to rest. They are 6-4 in their last ten games.

Suns are 42-17 and are coming off a 99-86 loss to the Celtics on Thursday. They are now 7-3 in their last ten games.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona Plus and also nationally on ESPN.

It's an early game with a listed 12:30 p.m. Arizona time start.

In a retweet, Jae Crowder did some work today in practice, so hopefully this is good news.

Nets are in 1st place in the East with the 76ers a half game behind.

The 76ers play at the Bucks on Saturday.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Don't the Nets have some guys out?

Hopefully our guys will be well rested and fired up to be playing on national TV

James Harden and Kevin Durant have been out. Still awaiting an updated injury report.

crap.

So much for the thought of the Suns catching breaks with key players out.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Booker needs to show up tonight to stand a chance at this one.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Huge test for suns at very worst just play competitive and keep it within reach....

To bad on durant being active but if suns play well least will be against 1 of the nets 3 stars

 

[mjb21aztd]

Booker needs to show up tonight to stand a chance at this one.

He should stop going on late night club dates with Kardashians.... might help him focus

Yea I'm really praying he and dario ayton get good mojo for poffs.... a 1 round exit would be meh

 

[Mainstreet]

So the Suns may see two of the Nets big three in Irving and Durant.

 

[Cheesebeef]

We need our stars to shine tomorrow. No excuses for Booker and Ayton. They’re both young, rested and should have matchup advtanges against anyone they face. And with Nothing but tough teams ahead, and the Clippers hot on our trail, the playoffs basically begin now.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's not a good injury report for Suns.

Saric, Crowder, Galloway and Nader are OUT.

Cam Johnson is AVAILABLE.

I'm not going to get my hopes to high .... with recent injury report

My guess at this point nadar won't even be rdy for poffs uh?

 

[Mainstreet]

More details on why players are out.

damn. That’s brutal. Frank has to get some time tomorrow. Hell, I might even start him.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's hard to envision Saric and Crowder being ready to play against the Knicks because the Nets and Knicks games are back-to-back.

 

[Mainstreet]

damn. That’s brutal. Frank has to get some time tomorrow. Hell, I might even start him.

There is really no choice as I see it. Kaminsky will need to play, perhaps even Jalen Smith.

The Suns should have added a big man on a two-way contract minimally as insurance.

Ouch on relaying on smith who has barly done anything

Frank can be ok he was doing well before injury if I remember correctly

Lol my blood pressure gonna be skyrocketing in poffs and heartattacks

Craig and Kaminsky will likely be the backup 4-5s tomorrow if Cam Johnson starts so in a crunch even Stix might get minutes.

The lack of size and depth in the front court is the nightmare I have been concerned about.

GOOD.

Hope we get some playoff intensity these next two!
