Not exactly dying to watch a repeat, might be a box score follow.

Suns will come out slow but this time when we get a double digit lead, we'll hold onto it. Monty acknowledged not making adjustments so I expect him to discuss with the team before gametime, what we need to do differently.

Ready Ready set go

Nah, on the contrary, I think they come out and jump on the Wolves big early.

Suns win this one by 10-15+ IMO. A lot of fluky stuff had to happen last night for the Suns to blow that game.

Hoping we don't see a repeat. I kind of hope CP3 decides to shoot a little more.

Don't know what to expect. We haven't lost two in a row since the Denver b2b, so we don't often lose 2 in a row. Then again, when we did, it was on a b2b.

I'd say around 26.
I think Monty's goal will be to make the role players beat us tonight.

Yeah, we should pack the paint...just make it to where he can't drive. It's hard though if they spread the floor. If people are guarding him out at the 3 pt line, they have to make sure they move to stay in front of him and not let him blow by them. Book cannot guard him..he was on him some last night.

It would be nice if Cam is back. He's been out 2 weeks. I wonder how long he had COVID, or if he still has it. How many days do you have to test negative before you can come back?

Anyone find it weird how there is no update on Cam at all? He’s simply been out 2.5 weeks now due to “ health and safety protocols” with no updates from the team.

Kinda strange. Like how is his well being? Is he in a hospital? Is he in a super serious condition? Is there a timeframe for his return?

Assuming he had covid, most pro athletes who got covid recovered from it in around 10 days because of being young plus in great shape. I’m thinking Cam got a particularly bad case or may have had an underlying condition. All speculation at this point.

At this rate, I wonder if he will even be back in April or May.

I'm not going to feel good unless we win easily. Monty gets a chance to show he can make a team adapt. I look forward to the Suns showing last night was just an off night. Saric will be back on, Ayton will stay out of foul trouble and Booker will avoid turnovers.

He played March 2nd and his first game missed was March 4th, so it's been about 2 weeks. I don't know how long most people have COVID..that's probably about right but I know they have to test negative a few days in a row. If his symptoms were really bad though..I think someone said he has asthma, then it might have lasted longer and been a tougher recovery, and running and getting winded would not be good. But who knows?

If he was symptom free then it seems like he should be close to returning.

Yeah exactly I wish they would give somewhat of an update so we don’t have to speculate. Maybe due to HIPPA they can’t disclose he has covid but they can still say “Cam’s doing better, we’re expecting him back in ___ days” or “Cam’s getting better but he’s still going to be out for a while” or something to that effect.

Idk I just find it weird because we get updates otherwise anytime a player has any type of injury or illness but just not here.
