Let’s not lose to this guys again especially with 3 days off and playing at home not just once but twice within 2-3 days. The schedule only gets harder so beating the Rockets B2B is crucial. We can be back to 5th seed if things head our way in this next couple of games before facing the Thunder.

All hands on deck.

Revenge time.

[SkyBill40]

We need to cook these fools this time. We also need to quit taking our foot off the gas and coasting on talent alone. There's a LOT of parity in the league now and any team can win at any time. Taking anyone lightly, especially given the final sprint towards the playoffs, would be foolhardy and could cost us.

Health is and always will be a big concern with this team, and it's time Beal toughens up. We need him from here out. Who would have ever expected Durant and Nurkic to be the ones holding things together on that end?

I kinda watched KD more over Nurkic and knew he’s a good defender who can block tons of shots due to his length. But I never expected good defense from Nurk obviously I didn’t watch many of his games. I assumed Okogie would be our best defender but in order for that to happen he needs playing time.

Toughening up isn't going to help you play basketball through a hamstring tear... we want Brad to play now, but what's more important is that he's available for the postseason.

I fully trust the decisions of the Suns medical team with their track record and all.

Yeah hamstrings aren't a pain tolerance issue lol it's unfortunate but we need him healthy for playoffs so better to make sure there's no discomfort left

[Saberestar]

Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Eric Gordon (groin) both QUESTIONABLE.

I'm not mad....I want to see more Grayson/RON out there. I've really enjoyed watching them bomb away while playing good D

I've injured my hamstring before, so anecdote being what it is... I can understand. But this just seems to be a repetitive thing with him and part of the reason why many frowned upon the move to acquire him. That was more my point than anything else. He's become injury prone and and that's a problem. We need all of the members of the team as healthy as possible since we're pretty close to the home stretch.

[RaisingArizona]

Coyotes win or Beal plays? What happens first?

[bwgood77]

Just don't bring someone back if the hamstring is feeling great. He's only had two before, but the last one over a year ago they brought him back too early and he missed a couple more games. But yeah, it's too bad he has had as many injuries as he has had. The back spasms was obviously the main one with the other two being more fluky. He's already missed almost as many games as Booker did the whole season last year.

Jalen Green is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Suns due to an illness.

I doubt it, they would lose an starter and one of their best perimeter players.

17.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists.

In the last game against us 14-3-4 and +6.

Yeah, he is young and he commits mistakes but his energy, scoring ability and raw talent are a big positive in my book.

I dunno. Green is hugely inefficient and lately he has been getting benched in the 4th quarter.

[SunsRback4Good]

Green sucks donkey balls. I guarantee you the Rockets will play better tonight without him. He’s build like a JR Smith, Crawford, guys with low IQ that take a ton of shots.

[DroughtsOverPHX]

Saben Lee big night incoming. He heard the rumbling in here.

Or a dnp. I still have hopes for the kid. He can get to the line, hustles on D but not much of a shooter. EXCEPT TONIGHT!

[RaisingArizona]

Coyotes win or Beal plays? What happens first?

Probably neither. This is Doaners fault

[RaisingArizona]

So Beal has played 29 full games now out of 59? Good. Great. Grand
