How do you east coasters deal with these 10pm starts? I live in Chicago and can't even handle it and it starts at 9 for me. I usually end up watching a half and then watching the rest in the morning before I go to work.

I was wide open for a couple of games, especially when things were going so well... Tonight I may not bother.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

Let's just say, kg has been slightly less productive at work during this roady. :)

Phoenix are favored by 6pts.
We need to make this road trip positive and get the win tonight.

Game Preview: Suns (31-14) come home to face Hawks (23-23)

The top team in the Pacific Division takes on the second place team in the Southeast

Image

The Phoenix Suns return home with a 3-1 road trip under their belt. It may have been ugly but it was successful. The team averaged 18.3 points with 2.2 assists on 29.4 FG% in the 4th quarter over four games and still came out the other side with 3 wins. That is the difference between this Suns’ squad and years past: we’d be 0-4 with those kind of 4th quarter numbers if this were last season.

Perhaps some home cooking and late-game pick and rolls will fix the Suns’ late game woes. Phoenix is beginning a three-game homestand over the next week. 9 of their next 11 games will be at the friendly confines of PHX Arena.

Next up on the slate? The Atlanta Hawks, a .500 team lead by 3rd-year guard Trae Young.

Atlanta was scheduled to visit Phoenix earlier in the season, but then the Washington COVI-zards happened. The Suns had three games postponed, their matchup against the Hawks being one of them. The #6 seed in the Eastern Conference entering winning 7 of their last 10 and are on game 6 of an 8-game west coast swing.
Phoenix -- SB Nation

Hopefully, this won't be an issue for the rest of the season...

Nice, a team that isn't made up of Redwoods.

It is called not watching them.

5 comes way too early.

They won by 7 covering the spread. Amazing how the predictions can be so close.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D
