You going to subtract points from the greatest scorer in NBA history?
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Crap like that is why I don't want to play them in the post season.

Great night for our bench, working the starters for the Fakers into the dirt.

They are always a tough out even when Suns are favored. 05,06, 21 season comes to mind. Needed a miracle shot by Tim Thomas to beat them back then. God I hate them with passion.

We will be in trouble if DA misses time or in foul trouble. Does anyone know if the Suns are able to sign someone and be able to play in the playoffs? I understand the Suns will have to waive a player, probably Bizzy.


It’s possible to sign players up to the end of the regular season and have them be playoff eligible (as long as they weren’t on an NBA contract as of the March 1 waiver deadline). But the list of available bigs looks pretty grim, so even if Biz is out the better way to get useful minutes out of his roster spot might be to convert Saben Lee to a regular contract.

Craig playing 1 against 5. Jock is a huge reason we aren’t within 3-4 points the guy hustles hard but can’t score.

Good to know! I think the Suns need another center. The Suns have a good amount of players that can share the PG duties. The worst part is waiving Bizzy. That sucks.

Monty makes it seem like Payne’s and Bizzy’s injury is not that serious. That’s great news.

Yeah, he said that there were "contusion type" injuries, nothing serious but enough to rest them.

Biyombo was knee to knee with AD. Payne had a tough hit in the back when falling down.

We will know more about it tomorrow, but I expect them to be ready for the playoffs for sure.

Losing on purpose is stupid, but if the championship comes that way, so be it.
