If Beverly hurts someone again, keep your eyes out, I will be the fan who starts off by throwing a bottle then rushes the court and tries to gouge his eyes out with their keys.
I am kinda sure you just triggered some sort of internet alarm.

I was hoping the Suns would at least get one of Ayton, Crowder or McGee back for the game.

Same. That’s a very talented team coming in. I think the win streak gets snapped unless we get super hot from 3.

The Wolves play at the Warriors tonight so I hope their back-to-back helps the Suns.

Vanderbilt is picking up Steph full court. KAT is imposing his will. Minnesota’s issue isn’t talent, they just play silly basketball most of the time. But they’ve gotten better defensively. Gonna need the backcourt to do their thing again. If we control the pace, I like our chances.

Unfortunately I am getting a post all star vibe

The Suns could be extra cautious about Ayton, Crowder and McGee so who knows.

I think if Crowder has his way he will be back soon. The same with McGee as I understand he wanted to play in the last game against the Jazz.

Ayton's ankle sprain might be more serious than initially thought.

I am kinda expecting a loss in this one. We are just too depleted. I am getting concerned about Book and Paul's minutes.

D'Angelo Russell's status might be in question for the game tonight. Nothing more as yet.

yeah, not feeling good about it either.

Especially if Towns uses his size against us.

If Russell doesn’t play, the focus will shift on simply Ant and KAT. I wish Ayton were playing but excited for Biyombo to get an opportunity to play against one of the best scoring bigs in the league. Edwards is very streaky, especially from 3. If we can keep him away from the rim and force him into tough 2’s or contested 3’s that bodes well for us. We’re gonna need CP3 to control the pace and get KAT in pick and roll. We need to take more threes tonight and spread the floor. Cam Johnson is gonna have at least 3 triples (calling my shot) lol. If this game is close at the end, I like our chances. Just don’t fall behind to where we’re fighting uphill. Book, be efficient, aggressive and make the right play.

so, DA will have been out at least two weeks... again. and even when he gets healthy, will probably need two more games of conditioning.
