Aside from being on the road, at least our schedule gets so much easier.

Suns defense is non existent.

Totally expected against Warriors a team with 3 players that can score 30+ every night.

Brooklyn was unforgivable though.

nothing.

Watson might have to start Knight for 20 games and "rest" Bledsoe or Booker to get his stats back up to somewhere he has value.

Rest booker for a week or two, turf toe is supposed to take a couple weeks to heal without putting pressure on it. Let's see if it gets him back to how he played in preseason.

I think the suns will be fine in a few years. Keep what works and build around it like the Warriors. They sucked with a young Curry and Klay too.

I am just pissed the state of Arizona has no good professional sports teams.

The Brooklyn loss keeps the tank alive. Great draft class coming up, if we can land a top 5 player we are going to be stacked in the future.

Len starting is a mistake. He is an awful defender. Bender getting barely any playing time is a bigger mistake. What do we have to lose by playing him?

Come on with this **** garbage Watson :noway:

Schedule doesn't matter, Suns have already lost to the Kings, Lakers and Nets this season. There's not many teams that are worse than those 3.

Yes, but they barely beat the worst team in the league at home and coming off a bye week. I doubt they even make the playoffs.

I'm not upset with this lost. I thought everyone played well tonight and we can only get better from here. The Warriors made some tough shots tonight to pull out this victory and I honestly feel that this Suns team will be a playoff team this year and a elite team in the next couple of years.

It's an uphill battle and if we don't get Tyrann back healthy soon, we clearly won't make the playoffs. But assuming he's back and up to speed quickly, I wouldn't rule us out.

Suns should shut down Devin Booker till All Star break. Turf toe isn't something that can be recovered from so quickly imo. This dude is still hurting out there, he doesn't look physically alright at all. Doesn't do the Suns any good to make this worse.

I'm sure he wants to play more than anything so he'll say or do anything he can to belittle his injury and play instead but Suns have to look out for his best interest and their own future.

Unfortunately I don't see much difference in him between this year and last. Fortunately, it is early in the season. Haven't noticed him favoring his foot at all. Turf-toe=gastroenteritis

I don't know about all-star break but at least until mid-december.

Watch the preseason games up through the Portland game and then compare it to all the other games minus the first 2 he played following the game he sat out. His cuts were sharper, he drove, stopped and elevated with authority and he played pretty decent man defense (although he still struggled against picks). I doubt it's the only game where it's happened but if you have access to league pass go back and watch the first game against the Warriors. You can see him grimacing from pain several times in that game.

I will have to take another look. Just haven't noticed him favoring a foot. Turf toe can be debilitating. Hope we turn it around. Go Suns!!!

Just got home. I tip my hat to the Warriors fans. The people around me (mind you, I was yelling and being a bit obnoxious when Knight was out there) were friendly and actually liked our squad. Wish a diffrent outcome, but end of the day building blocks. Keep it going. :nod:
