Jaylen Brown finally available but Porzingis now questionable.

Booker’s out for this game. Good decision to keep him out imo. Celtics are on a 2 game losing streak, very little chance they don’t win tonight. Odds are -225 currently, wish Vegas thought Suns had more of a chance then I’d certainly put some money down tonight.

Hopefully Vogel doesn’t play KD another 30+ mins tonight if this game is trending towards a blowout/loss early enough. KD and Allen have played a crap ton of mins lately.

"Pleasantly surprised,"

Frank Vogel on Devin Booker's progress from right ankle injury considering how it looked when he injured it against Houston.

Got an "extensive workout" Saturday morning, but couldn't get it quite loose enough.

Good news about Book, pretty sure that he will play in the next game.

Porzingis OUT.

Slop, slop, slop. When does it end?

Good start. Beal looks explosive.

Will have a tough time with Holiday on him. Coaches rated him the best defender in the nba, right ahead of Dort. Then Derrick White when it's not Holiday.

We got away with one there as Beal definitely hit Brown's arm on that three.

They don't have any answer for KD.

And we don't have one for White. He's cutting us up.

Saben Lee or Okogie? Who has the worst shot?

Saberestar · Post #12 » by **Saberestar** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 2:08 am

Embarrassing performance by Saben Lee. He basically did everything bad. 3 missed shots. Foul. Couldn't rebound. Everything.

Yeah I'm over the Saben Lee experiment.He went up so weak on that last lay up attempt that got blocked by Holiday..

Eubanks minutes are always one and done, open lane to the rim and giving away offensive rebounds.

Eubanks useless out there.

Revived · Post #16 » by **Revived** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 2:16 am

I don’t understand why the Suns signed Thad Young if Eubanks is gonna continue to get mins.

The backup big rotation should be Young and Bol.

Especially considering that Young and Bol have looked good in the minutes they played together.

The Eubanks minutes are beyond frustrating to watch.

Call it the Vogel effect. And Booker should have played. He looked fine in the practice footage shooting jumper after jumper.

If we don't get some help for Durant ASAP, this game is going to go wrong for us quickly. Beal and Allen need to be there for Durant.

Beal 3-10 in a game the Suns desperately need him to show up with Booker out.

SkyBill40 · Post #20 » by **SkyBill40** » Sun Mar 10, 2024 2:30 am

Why would Durant and Nurkic jump Tatum 27+ feet out? Only to watch 68 year old Al Horford cut straight to the basket for a layup?
