Curious if Monty will go with Frank instead of Dario due to recent struggles and having to match up against Dwight off the bench.

Maybe a game against his former team is what he needs to get going.

And come on SunsRback4Good, no Ashley Moyer-Gleich as good luck charm after this last game? :nonono:

My worry is Dario is playing hurt with something. He just doesn't look right. If hes hurt, he needs to sit, because they WILL need him for the playoffs at full strength.

Its not just mental with him, something seems to be hurting him and hes trying to play through it.

Dario played great against Embiid last time we played. Maybe this will help him regain some confidence which he seems to be lacking.

My daddy always said 8 good luck charms heavily outweigh one bad luck charm. He also said, son if you ain't first your last.

Need to go back to starting Crowder. Or just start Cam because we may need to keep up with shooting. Anyway....either over Dario who obviously is at this point, at best, a bench player.

I assume Dario only started because we wanted to match up with Giannis and Lopez. I'm sure we'll go back to Crowder tomorrow.

Hopefully Dario picks it back up. He's had a solid year for us and has been huge at times, but there have definitely been bumps in the road.

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

It looks like Saric has been playing lately through some physical problems. He is probable against the Sixers.

Hopefully he gets fully healthy before the playoffs.

Cam Payne also had an ankle when his form dropped off.

Probably a good thing rather than forgetting how to play.

I did not see that, but even in that case I think he was moving himself more awkwardly in the last week, so that is why I think that he has been dealing with some physical problems lately.

Good to hear Frank. I too enjoy earlier games when we face east coast teams. Seems as if our last 10 games have begun at exactly 7.

Betters aren't making the same mistake twice. Bucks were favorited by 2.5 points at home while 76ers have a better record yet Phoenix is favored by a point at the moment.

Return to Phoenix Suns
