Looking at water under the bridge leaves you thirsty

Ya'll do realize the Warriors squad would make last year's Suns team look like All-Stars and that Donic was being guarded by Chriss? Yeah he is good, but they where basically playing a G-league team.

He's played a lot of teams and done the same, and I agree we are thirsty for a guy like that, but of course what's done is done.

I always wonder what this team would look like with Luka as our PG.

Didn’t he put up like a 30 point, 20 assist, 10 rebound triple double against the Lakers few games ago? The Mavs lost in OT but he took turns scoring and facilitating on LeBron and AD in pick and rolls again and again and again.

The timing of these injuries couldn’t be any worse. So many games bunched in together plus one of the very few Suns national TV games tomorrow against New Orleans.

Ingram & Holliday are just gonna attack the paint every other play basically. Thankfully, the Pelicans (without Zion) don’t have any bigs like Holmes that should dominate inside with rebounds and second chance pts.

This week has been a f*cking nightmare and is getting worse.
We just have to play through it, if we lose the 5 games, it will be understandable.

We will obviously have trouble defensively, but once again, it will come down to hitting our shots. And that will be a lot easier if we stick to the .5 offense and move the ball with their defenders. I'm not sure if Ball and Favors are out, but that would certainly help. I noticed neither played last game. If that's the case, it's a bit closer to even with their two best bigs out and their PG (though Holiday is their best backcourt player...however Booker is ours). They still have more depth, at least at PG with Jrue (if need be), NAW and Frank Jackson. Just basically a rookie C though...a very raw one at that, so maybe our PFs can exploit that. Actually I guess they have Okafor too....but not sure if he played last game either.

If they lose the 5 games they are out of playoff seeding and back to the cellar of the conference. Not fun at all.

Booker and Oubre better get their **** together. Neither one has much consistent impact lately on either side and are getting worked by the other teams. You'd like your franchise player and his sidekick to be able to will and work this team to some wins.

If you play without pgs and centers you cant expect better than that tbh.
But is still early in the season, so if you are temporary out of the playoffs is something you can try to achieve later.

While we haven't looked good the last 2 games, I can't remember a stretch where we missed so many open shots like we have. If we improve our % just a little it can be enough to help us sneak in some wins.

Regarding Boston, it's clear they are legit with how they played LAC and this road trip as a whole. They are good. As frustrating as it was losing to them, they are the real deal.

If the Suns are going anywhere a Booker/Oubre led team should not be down by 20 to a Kings team missing their stars. This is Booker's 5th year. He's a vet and paid to be the guy. When do excuses end.

And yes it's still early but it seems like every win/loss is going to mean something in the West this year.

should we sign Pau Gasol......???

I would !!!

Baynes hurt ... no Ayton !!! With them out we will lose pretty consistently

Not saying Gasol is the answer but he is an option !!

He is still a member of Portland organization, he just did that to open a roster spot as his recovery is slower that what they thought at the beginning. He will be now in the coaching staff.

Jaxson Hayes has played pretty well for them, NAW as well. I wouldn't overlook either of their rookies.

Will Booker make the all-star team this year?
