Great opportunity to get a W against the 2nd team in the West.

With a W we could be 9th. Ja Morant will be out for weeks (or months) and the Rockets aren't mature enough...those high playoffs seeds are gonna be available pretty soon IMO.

Hopefully Book is back.

Scotty Pippen Jr can be pretty good when Ja is absent. I wonder how long Smart will be out. He sure has been injured a lot since being traded to Memphis. Missing Edey is big though in addition to missing Ja. But Bane and JJJ still tough and they have a lot of good role players.

But we should win if Book is back. I take it Royce and Grayson are still out? Dunn should get a lot of time, along with Morris.

Sounds like Allen is likely to play, and yeah Royce is out.

I might go conservative again and hold Booker out one more game. They dont play again until Saturday so thats another four days of rest missing only one very winnable game.

January is a pretty easy schedule for the most part too. I think we play Washington and Charlotte each both twice with a lot of other lesser teams in there as well. Then a couple against Portland at the beginning of Feb. I'm sure it gets a lot harder after that.

Last year we were 15-15 and then 19-18 before winning 7 in a row and starting to play a lot better. Went 30-15 after a 19-18 start, so hopefully we stay healthy and improve as people settle in more with the new players and coach. If Allen and Book's shooting come back that would really help too.

lol thanks for the laugh Saber. You believe in fairy tales more than any other Suns fan in existence. This team is not leapfrogging anyone let alone Rockets or Grizzlies. Were 7th to 10th seed at best.

Out having dinner with my wife and unfortunately the game isn't on here. Oh well.

Regardless of the outcome for tonight, I hope everyone has a safe NYE and a nice New Year's Day.

Hopefully luck will be on our side and this squad can get it together for the rest of the season.

This team is so bad, I stopped giving a sh*t about the refs fu**ing us lol.

Okogie's offense has been surprising consistent so far this season.

grumpysaddle · Post #10 » by **grumpysaddle** » Wed Jan 1, 2025 2:54 am

Every team shoots like prime Warriors against us.

grumpysaddle · Post #11 » by **grumpysaddle** » Wed Jan 1, 2025 3:03 am

You'd think this team was made up of rookies with the sloppy and careless turnovers we have every single game.

grumpysaddle · Post #12 » by **grumpysaddle** » Wed Jan 1, 2025 3:05 am

Lol. And Beal out again.

It's perplexing how bad our offense has looked this season. I just don't get it.

And ppl here want Nurk traded :lol:

grumpysaddle · Post #15 » by **grumpysaddle** » Wed Jan 1, 2025 3:23 am

I just want to trade the whole team for players that are physical and don't take **** from anyone at this point. I just want to see some **** effort and players that look like they give a ****.

I'm starting to think they need to just waive and stretch him. He's done. It would suck to have that much dead money on our books, but is not like we're getting much from his on court time anyway.

Don't know why seeing we have no picks, but sure.. why not? May as well enter the off-season the same way we came into this one: Mediocrity.
