With just 27 games remaining let's close out the season on a good note. We wont make the playoffs but can spoil few wins here and there for other playoff opponents. Seems like we haven't played in over 3 weeks, doesn't it? Let's go Suns!!!!

This will be a tough one, but I do hope that Baynes and Saric are back for this one. I expect them to be.

Would be nice for everyone to be healthy including Saric, Baynes & Kaminsky to finish out the season in style. I feel that one of 3 players is coming back next game while other somewhere around late Feb/early March.

I sat at my computer, my favorite twitch streamer reminding me to subscribe with twitch prime. "You can have it all when Yang wins." I said, gently stroking my Rei Ayanami body pillow.

Suddenly there was a loud crash behind me and I spun in my chair. One of my jars of gamer girl bath water had shattered on the floor.

With a piercing "Reeeee!" I stood up and moved toward my broken treasure.

"I'm sorry honey" my mom started "I was bringing you dinosaur chicken nuggets but I tripped over your pile of stiff socks.."

"Quiet you cow!" I screamed, a manly tear darting down my cheek "I only have 3 more jars of this bath water!" I slapped the plate out of my mom's hand.

I reached into my fanny pack and pulled out another poop sock. My mom had already turned to leave my basement as I threw my victory sock at her.

"I will not eat dinosaur food when we play the Raptors!"

I sat back down at my computer and donated my mom's social security check to the scantily clad streamer.


I wonder how many of our players are still going to be hurt. Hopefully baynes and saric will be back, I assume Frank is getting close.

Mom's basement sounds awesome.

Same here. I'm hoping we can at least get to see our team at full strength for 20 games. It's really difficult to gauge what we have in our current crew given how many injuries the Suns have suffered over the past season.

I'll believe it when I see it. Just seems odd seeing 98% of our roster healthy for a game.

Well I think a lot of the guys could have probably played if they had to in our last 1 or 2 games but given they would have 9 days off anyway, giving them that game in addition to time they already had off means guys like Baynes and Saric will have had like 3 weeks at least....for Baynes at least...Saric probably close to that.

Yeah, that makes sense to keep those few players out longer no need to rush them considering playoff picture is out of reach. I am just happy to see Baynes, prior to his injury he was hitting threes and playing great so hoping his last 25 games are as soon as his first 11. I still like Saric but he needs to come off bench if we keep him for next year as for Kaminsky I would like to see him go.

It would be exciting to for the remainder of the season see a lineup of

Rubio / Jerome (Carter)
Booker / Okobo
Bridges / C. Johnson
Oubre / Saric
Ayton / Baynes /Diallo

With Cam / Bridges and Oubre effectively sliding one position upwards to open up more minutes for Saric and Diallo in favor of playing our trio of backup point guards.

20 games of healthy basketball would be a nice way to close out another frustrating (but also encouraging) season

Not yet. I asked around few people who saw it they said " if you see the movie watch it primarily for her and dont expect much from other cast members". If you seen it BW give me some insight. Thanks

Crazy can be fun for awhile. Until she's standing over you as you're sleeping holding a knife.
