As Ricky said after the game, we need to play with heart. Yesterday it was like if the team gave up about the season. I really dont understand what's going on, is really strange tbh.

Like I said before, I think they deflated losing Ayton again right away. Huge letdown. Not that I'm excusing them, but I expect a rejuvenated team when he returns.

That said, if he's not back tonight, major **** blowout.

His arse is SOFT. You missed 25 games because of your stupidity and now you missed a game because of some ankle sprain knowing this team needs you. I say again I'll forever respect Nash,Kobe and MJ because those players never missed games because of some soft arse injury

You know Ayton better than I do, and ofc he *****d up with the diuretics, but outside all of that I loved what I saw from him the 2 games he played. He can be a dominant big.

Won't watch. Until the Suns get back into a playoff spot I won't watch a live game anymore. My X-mas present to myself. Tired of being angry and disappointed after 2/12 hours. I really don't need it. There's highlight clips if they win one and the forum and podcasts for news. Having the Lakers/Mavs/Clippers as shoe ins for the WCF adds on to how disheartened I feel right now being a Suns fan. This organization is still among the worst and they don't deserve my time until things change.

If they can turn things around somehow and get back into a playoff spot I'll start watching again. If they slip back out I'll stop. I wonder how many games I'll watch the rest of the year.

I wish others would do the same and the arena every game would be filled with like 500 people.

Harden going for 80 by halftime.

Is he not listed as out tonight? If so that's a good thing.

They should rest Booker, no point of playing, heal that wrist.

It is better to try to be competitive. Booker at least give us options to score.

I do not want to watch a game losing by 50, like the last couple of years.

Not sure who is gonna start at PG.

Okobo? I do not like it for now.
Jerome? He is not ready.
Carter? Too limited on offense.
Tyler Johnson????

I would start Booker and two wings.

It's almost like they are punking us this whole season. Can't wait to see who starts at PG. Should probably just start Booker since you don't really have to guard Westbrook. Let him shoot and you won't stop him getting to the rim. That would have to be the C.

Booker/Bridges/Cam/Oubre/Baynes if both PFs are out..

Bench of Carter/Okobo/Jerome/Johnson/Diallo

Obviously you don't have to play all those bench guys at the same time, but stagger some of them with the wings in the starting lineup.....don't necessarily have to play all of those guards in the bench lineup either. I'd play Okobo for sure and maybe Carter but definitely Diallo. I could go either way on Jerome or Johnson at this point. Not sure if they add anything and may subtract.

How about Carter/Okobo/Jerome/Ty Johnson/Leque
Full 5 PGs lineup, the revolution has come.

I didn't really mean to play all of them at the same time, but he has been playing 3 of them. I'd probably sub out Booker first, and put in Okobo or something, and then sub out a wing and put in another guard. Then sub out Baynes and put in Diallo. Then bring Booker back to play the whole 2nd quarter with maybe Okobo, for awhile, and 2 of the 3 wings as they sub in and out and just alternate Baynes and Diallo.

We would probably get killed on the boards though. Oubre and Bridges have shown the ability to get 10 or near 10 rebounds a game, but not often, so they could probably crash them somewhat with their lenghth, but Baynes would really have to box out well and Diallo would need to get a lot of time and rebound well (he's had good and bad rebounding games).

Is there a big difference in losing by 50 and losing by 30?

Because the latter is likely to happen even if Booker plays.

How many free throw attempts will Harden get?
