It’s 4:00am and we are already looking forward to this game.

If Booker and Ayton are out tonight , then it evens things out a bit with KL out.

The dynasty lasted one whole game.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. :-)

Yowza, it would have been faster just to say who's actually playing.

That’s an ugly injury report. If Zu and Kennard sit do we even have enough bodies to play?

i assume batum/morris/mann/amir/wall are gonna start

means moussa/brown/boston are gonna pick up some big minutes. hopefully preston, too.

it's too bad so many guys are out because beating the suns now would be a big boost in the standings.

Lue's pulled a Popovich. This might be a forfeited game in exchange for health.

it's one thing to watch the main guys take selfish shots but seeing the role players do it is painful

I’m surprised Lue is even calling timeouts. You can tell he doesn’t give a hoot about this game.

Feel bad for the folks who got dressed up, gassed their cars up, and drove down to Staples to watch this abomination of a game

This is garbage. Ballmer should refund everyone's tickets for this farce of a game.

I've been patient with the load management stuff, but when the players we're trying to manage barely play regardless, it just feels pointless and actually counterproductive due to all the games we're throwing away.
