Cam Johnson is out tomorrow due to a right quad contusion

[RunDogGun]

Craig better find his shot, and we need Holiday to take at least 7 threes. Shamet needs to score more than 6 points in 28 minutes, and Ayton needs to play like he actually likes basketball. This will be a rough game. I also hope Payne is ready to get posted up like mad by Holiday.

[SunsRback4Good]

Such a shame that Cam is out after having a career night but even with him playing it would be too much to overcome against a legit contender on the road without our two most important players. Just need everyone to be healthy once April rolls around.

This would be Payne's third game back from injury hopefully he finds his shot. It would help for Shamet to find his as well considering he has been stinking it up ALL SEASON LONG. At last, we need our big guns in McGee & Biyombo to play smart and grab rebounds from Giannis, Ibaka & Portis.

I see us losing by at least a dozen but you never know with this team they fight nonstop and bring it every game.

Yes, Memphis just passed Warriors and have a half game lead on them. As much as I despise Lebron he put his heart on the line tonight with a 56 point game. Him, Kobe, MJ & Crawford are the oldest players to record a 50+ game at age of 37.

Chalk this one off. We won't have any shot creation and Bucks will roast us.

the difference between lebron and steph is that while both are in decline, at least lebron still gives a damn about his image.

This is a loss and I am OK about it.

Crawford did it while wearing a Suns uniform too.

Don't write us off yet. DA will definitely be up for this one.

And the Bucks defensively have dropped off a fair amount this year, especially with Lopez being out.

That's right I remember watching that game. Crawford was on fire shot over 60% in a loss though.

I hope so, with 3 of our top 5 most important players out DA needs to go out and have a BIG game. This Suns team are so stacked that I wont be surprised if they pull off a win. We still have DA, Crowder, Bridges, & Payne that can cause havoc. And maybe Shamet, Craig, Holiday or McGee will step up in big ways. But one thing is certain, the Suns will continue to play tough regardless who is out.

[WeekapaugGroove]

Unless someone like Shamet or Payne have an out of body experience and hit like 10 3s it's hard to see how the suns will find enough scoring to stay in this game.

DA will have to be super aggressive. But it will really come down to Craig, Holiday and Shamet. All three have to knock down their shots. Cam Payne won’t get as many assists tonight, because CamJo isn’t there to get his passes, and Payne really has to start hitting his shots as well. I would look for Milw to be extremely aggressive and physical, knowing we have so many weapons out.

I would rest Ayton. This is lost anyway so why risk him when there is much attacking by Giannis coming. We have two solid back up center who can wrestle with Giannis. Let them play.

No way. This is his chance to step up and show everyone he deserves that max contract.

[RunDogGun]

Well I don’t expect our game to be as close as the game on now.

[NapoleonII]

This is the sort of night where two things are true:

1. Any team can beat and be beaten by any other team.

and

2. Talent reigns.

Interesting to see which one will play out more.

I don't really care at this point. Our hard work has payed off with our comfortable lead. I'd rather us NOT play the Bucks at full strength and show our best offensive and defensive cards to them. Rest up CP3 and Book. Monty will have the guys play hard and be in it at the end.

[RaisingArizona]

Think we take this
