I'm expecting a 135-85 win tomorrow and the start of an undefeated regular season remainder and playoffs. Anything less is a failure.

Well, I hope you are ready to expect failure and misery my friend. Just brace yourself and remember that I told you so. :roll:

This guy will play trmw. I hope they keep him on a mins restriction. No more than 25 as we shouldnt need much to beat the Melo-less Hornets.

Looking forward to overreacting to this game one way or the other regardless of the outcome! :rock:

What’s the o/u for Durant minutes tonight? I think it’s going to be lower than people think. My guess is he’ll only get around 18 minutes.

He's been out close to 8 weeks for what was originally deemed a 4-6 week injury, so I think KD is likely close to 100% and ready to come in and kick ass.

Can't wait to see how the Suns look with KD in. But I'm expecting him to fit in seamlessly from game 1.

So 18 minutes for KD is possible, since the Suns could be up 30 by halftime.

I think he will play at most 25 minutes.

Yeah, he said in a interview yesterday that he hasn't had any type of pain for the last two weeks.

They have been super cautious with this injury. Perfect timing for a comeback being 4th in the West.

Darn! Would've liked to see the full squad.

Can't wait to see KD though

looks like he's fitting in quite well with the Suns already.

A completely healthy Suns team, with 20 games to integrate on both offense and defense, plus develop great locker room chemistry is going to be an intense and very difficult team to beat in the playoffs. Super excited for this new era to kick off tonight, let's start the journey!

This should be Payne’s redemption game. I expect him to go bananas and putt up ungodly numbers finally getting back to 2021 shape and form. You read it here first don’t be surprised when Payne has a game of his lifetime.

I'm interested to see if the extra attention Durant receives allows Book to go off. Probably first time in his career he is not getting the best defender on him.

I bet DA benefits most - on both ends. KD can go over defenders to put the ball in DA's chest. And for the first time in his career, DA will have another rim protector behind him to help. Maybe he can gamble a bit more with closeouts and block some shots.

But the truth is, everyone's going to be better with KD on the court.
