Baynes needs to play like he did prior to the injury. Booker and cam need to play. Suns management should start telling us what the actual injuries and time tables are.

I look forward to seeing Ayton play once every 25 games.

Booker missing games for a arm bruise and ayton missing a game for a mild sprained ankle and cam missing a game for a sore hip has the writings of james Jones and Monty Williams all over it. Those guys are softies and won’t play anyone who has a boo boo

There’s no sense of urgency from Monty or james Jones. It’s the strangest thing. You watch your team lose a bunch of games because of injuries that guys play through all the time on other teams.

Another close loss is what I’m sensing. Either the Suns or Thunder are gonna get off to a fat lead and then Thunder hangon at the end to win.

OKC has been playing really good basketball lately.

As long as it’s a competitive loss and we play hard, can’t ask for much more in a season like this one.

I think I hate myself enough to watch the game tonight for another last second loss.

It would be nice if Baynes started so we could get back to beginning of season form. If Baynes wants out it will probably be because he didn't even get to start when Ayton was out but had to back up Frank Kaminsky. Before that I thought maybe he was actually liking it here.

Hopefully Tyler Johnson still doesn’t play even if he is healthy. Let’s send him to the G league to recover and rehab in its entirety.

The season has become such a drag. Incredible they’re without 2 regulars literally every single game.

Baynes back in the starting lineup, I guess he has fully recovered and can play normally.

Toughness will be there, rebounds is other story.
The 2 big holes of Baynes are rebounds and fouls.
