All I want is for Troy Daniels to get Canaan minutes and let Crawford run point. Make it happen Igor

Going to be a tough game. We're traveling on a back-to-back while the Clippers haven't played since Sunday.

Clippers are deep, their bench could certainly run up the score on ours if we let them. Warren and Harris will be a good matchup tonight. We need a big game out of Ayton with the Clippers really only having Gortat to matchup with him. Hopefully Booker breaks out of this 3 point shooting funk too.

The clips are kind of the anti suns they don't really have top end talent but they are so so much deeper. They also play much more mistake free ball.

I could see the suns jump out to a lead only to watch the bench murder them.

Who's gonna be taking Canaan's minutes, I wonder. I'd assume Okobo over Melton considering how much more Igor played him, but w Crawfish at point they could go with Troy Daniels.

Have you seen how Harrell is playing? The guy is a terrific C, long and strong enough to compete with anyone.
He is probably the Most Improved Player of the season.

Okobo is my guess. Maybe if he isn't playing well, a bit of Daniels.

I expect the Suns to get wrecked. 2nd on a B2B with TJ having played 40min and Booker playing 36min yesterday. These are young guys with young legs still but I expect to see some tiredness.

Hopefully Okobo can give us something positive

Montrez Harrell is one of my favorite players in the league. I hope Ayton watches exactly how he plays and plays like him. Physical, tough and with an incredible amount of energy.

Warren questionable with a sore ankle. Super. They now have 0 PFs and a grand total of like 5 real NBA players for tonight's game. I'm sure that will work out well.

This is a rout if Warren doesn't play.

Holmes plays similarly but Harrell is a whole different animal. He has a legitimate case to make the All Star team even being in the West and all. What a stupid move by Morey to give him away.

Their per36 stats are too. One thing that jumps out is Harrell's FTA's. Dude is averaging almost 6.5FTA off the bench in under 26mpg. Booker averages 5.3 playing legit starter minutes. And the guy isn't even close to a star or anything trying to milk those star calls. He just plays with energy, effort and determination. Blows my mind that guy

Clippers rebuild looking good. Ditto Pacers. It doesn't have to happen the Sixers/Suns way.

Sarver should have went after Jerry West instead of James Jones.

Yeah, like Jerry West is going to want to work for Sarver.

Touche. I used to have dreams of a new owner buying the Suns and then hiring Jerry West as President of Basketball Ops with someone else as GM/yes man to West for day to day stuff that West is probably too old to do.
