We can’t waste time crying, it was always a long shot to win at Boston and the Thunder won to the Mavs so our loss wasn't a big deal.

THIS game is a must win. Let's do it.

lol must win game to avoid being 8th seed? This season is done nobody is looking forward to the playoffs just to be eliminated in the first round. We went from contender to pretender in one night. Give me 2012 to 2019 Phoenix Suns basketball over this years garbage of a team with no true direction or identity.

Booker emerges when faced with an easy opponent. Same song every time.

"He just apologized. Said they saw it, should have called it."

Devin Booker on not getting call on shot made over Xavier Tillman in 3rd quarter of Suns loss at Celtics.

Hurt left ankle landing on Tillman foot. Stayed in game."

"At least I got an apology."

Says ankle's fine.

That's huge, it seems that Book will not need any rest.

Book has to be the most disrespected guy in the league, that non call was flagrant in how callous it was.

PROBABLE: Eric Gordon (knee).

OUT: Josh Okogie (abdominal) and Damion Lee (knee).

We have been struggling lately trying to get points from our bench, EG will help with that.

I hope he doesn't risk the ankle just so he can make sure he gets enough games for all nba awards. If he misses 3 more, he will not be eligible.

The Hornets are 7W-8L in the last 15 games. On the road and on the second night of a back-to-back...not an easy game.

Must win these types of games. Looking for a bounce back performance. We had a good first half last night. Just need to string the solid play together for 48 minutes.

This team is going nowhere with Booker. Need a point guard for Durant and Beal.

We need to play more aggressive, with more intensity.

Feels a bit all-star game-ish... Charlotte is obviously tanking, and we only care enough not to lose.

I like Micic

We have to look to Europe to fill out our roster this offseason, the bang for your buck is simply higher than established NBA players. They all know how to play in a team concept and are just solid

Get us a backup 5 and big point guard please, both types all readily available in Europe. You can't convince me that some 6'10 27 year old Serbian isnt going to be a better player than Eubanks

Not a good game at all. The effort isn't there but we have a decent advantage so I take it for now.
