Think we’ll actually show up for this game? I’m not very confident the Suns will take this one seriously, but unlike the Dubs, Grizz, and OKC the Lakers aren’t one of those teams that plays hard for entire games (remind you of your favorite team?) so I think I’ll chalk up a W here despite my better judgement. Monty better do something in-game to get their energy going if we come out playing the same way again. Anyone who isn’t busting their ass should get pulled and sat for the rest of the game, W or L be damned. I don’t subscribe to the idea that mailing in all these remaining games won’t have an effect on how we play in the playoffs or the confidence other teams will gain playing against us.

There'd better not be anyone resting tonight. Period. We cannot and should not give the Lakers any opportunity to gain ground on SA for the final play in spot. Davis being back helps them tremendously and we should also look to silence that braggart quite resoundingly.
I don't have the best feeling about this game, but it would be a nice thought to set an all time wins record against them.

Lakers are reportedly likely sitting LeBron for this one.

Do you think AD will torch us for 35+?

Unless he's hurt, he should be playing. They need to win their remaining games if they want to even sniff a chance at the play-in and if he sits, their chances are dramatically diminished.

Well they could go 3-4 if SAS loses all 4 games.

Not sure. I don’t see them winning without LeBron though.

Lakers might have a better shot of making the playoff if they sat out Westbrook for the remainder of the season instead of Lebron. He's a hugeeeee net negative that affects the team in every facet of the game. But at this point, Lebron just wants to rest and focus on next season since this one is already lost.

The last thing we need is for suns fans to panic regarding our team..they've proved time and time again how dominant they are and a two game losing streak should not cause us to panic. I dont think Suns have lost two straight games dating back to our bubble days.
Regular season wins are cute, but the ultimate goal is to be last team standing for a chance to win a championship. I'm just relieved Booker, Ayton, & Crowder got their much needed rest while CamJ & CP3 are integrated back into the lineup after missing dozens of games.
Now if we struggle in the first round by going 6/7 games against lowly 8th seed that makes sense, but for now the team is ahead of schedule and everyone should not panic and trust our team.

Listening to Simmons April 4th or 5th podcast now since Slim mentioned it...one thing they just said is that when AD and LeBron play, they are 17-20. They may have played a game together since.

Rooting for you guys to win the title (barring an unlikely Pels cinderella story
), so your team owes it to me to go and lock up the 8th pick for us by eliminating them from the play in all together.
I'm sure your team wants it more than our guys do.
