Blazers will be without Lillard for a third straight game while Phoenix looks to avenge their only loss of the season coming to this pesky Blazers. Only one team can survive and remain atop the west. Who will it be?

Ayton should play in this game. I think they talked about it before last game and latest news confirmed it.

Anything less than two wins vs Blazers will be disappointing.

I thought Oubre was widely considered women's favourite, so probably needs to be included in the poll.

As a lifelong Suns fan, I have to say that seeing all 4 California teams on the outside looking in just warms my heart, brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.

Another great question!

The Diaw vote was unexpected but makes sense. Dude is caked up and seem to go hard in the paint in all areas of life

It's gotta be Grant Hill, especially since he can play the piano.

Speaking of Oubre, he is currently rocking a -37 in the game against the Grizzlies right now. Are the Hornets even any good with Ball, Rozier, and Hayward? To me, that is still a below .500 team.

Ayton is finally back, Biyombo’s streak of 4+ blocks a game ends historically at 2 games.

I forgot it’s Friday night and not many will post tonight. We’ll be lucky to reach 3 pages but anything is possible.

Booker starting out strong that’s a good sign

Return to Phoenix Suns
