I've got ESPN so I think I'm covered for this game, although I do not like this bouncing channel thing.

Previously I thought ABC had the first two games but the schedule doesn't reflect it.

I'd be surprised if there's not a local channel option for a playoff game, no?

It's what I thought but I'm not seeing it.

Kevin Ray said that there would be no local coverage during that last regular season game with the kids.

that's messed up.

I mean, those without are being spared watching another hellacious blowout, but that's still lame AF.

And the national guys are going to be slobbering over OKC. They're not wrong I guess, but I'd rather hear EJ's funny stories during a blowout.

are there any free streaming trials out that carry espn? who streams espn btw?

 

[Yuma]

I am more excited about the NFL Draft starting Thursday, than the Suns game on Wednesday....

Well I think they all do, but I know YoutubeTV does because that's what I have.

You know it is very easy to get an internet stream though

Mark Williams (foot) was wearing a soft boot.

Jordan Goodwin (calf) was wearing his black sleeve on his ledt calf. #Suns

I' would have liked to seen a healthy Williams, Grayson and a hot Dillon, Collin. Might only lose by 10

 

[Mainstreet]

Grayson Allen appears the most promising to play of those with injuries. Jordan Goodwin is a tough customer though.

If Grayson plays then he'll probably miss the last 2. Dude can't stay healthy. I can't get over him playing less this season than Beal did in either outing he had here. It seems he's been given much more of a pass by the fanbase despite being so fragile.

Grayson Allen, Jordan Goodwin and Mark Williams are all QUESTIONABLE.

If there was ever a time to play though injuries the playoffs are supposed to be that time. Here is to hoping for at least a competitive game.

i hope we try things differently tonight - not just play fleming or maluach but to try and come out as the aggressor - if the game is getting out of hand muck it up - get sideways but make sure it comes with a double technical - hard fouls - not just in the 1st quarter - take advantage when the refs aren't looking - take advantage when the refs are looking

we're not winning a talent contest against okc but we can practice some tried and true playoff tactics

He makes less than half the money and doesn't talk like he's a superstar.

You and me both. I hate that OKC is allowed to hold and grab our guys with both arms and we seem to get called for ticky-tack calls. Let's at least do the same thing to them and let the refs show their double standard to the world. If our entire team fouls out, so be it.

It seems like we tried to establish some physicality early in the game but the whistles just kept coming.
