Shoot man! I was just about to mention this too, but you and King are super quick on it. Not to be superstitious too much, might be a good idea to be cautious with Durant and Booker and to a lesser degree maybe Paul as well to avoid any potential unforeseen calamitous injuries. Fingers crossed that we make it through this game without any bad luck occurring.

Don't you worry. The Williams "system" will probably forget about them being on the team, too.

Okogie, Craig and Wainright play defense and hustle, and can hit the corner 3. As long as they do that, they will and should be playing over TJ Warren. We have enough shooters, specially with T Ross now.

Reminds me of the Danny Manning injury in practice back in the 90s. Just hard to believe

We'll be fine.

Some adversity is good, but it sucks we won't have more time to gel. But the past 3 games, KD fits this team like a glove.

I'd give CP3 some games off too down the stretch, maybe against Houston or SA. We can't have him get injured.

I'm predicting KD comes back for the playoffs on minute restrictions and we make it through....we need to win games tho and overtake Memphis at this point. I don't want to see GS or Dallas in the first round.

Suns vs Sixers in the finals (Barkley's old teams), and we win in 6.

That's a lot of bright siding. I'll just be happy to get the 4th seed.

Sorry guys! I didn't really expect Durant to get injured in some freak accident in practice. I honestly didn't even think they'd play him in this game knowing Shai was sitting out as they're obviously tanking now. And I actually didn't even find out about the injury thing until he wasn't playing in the game. But this injury thing is just an all too Sunsy type of thing to have happen. So very unfortunate, but not honestly all that surprising though. It's always something each season with this team. :nonono:

While lurking on Mavs board I saw one of those post there while I had not seen him post here for some time. I thought he's jumped ship. So there is a chance. Fingers crossed. :lol:

Sorry man. I didn't actually think I was gonna manifest destiny on that one....lol. This franchise has always been cursed though! All the way back to the Colangelo days when that brief story came out about the old gypsy lady that was upset with Colangelo on some business deal and apparently cursed the team. Never could track that story down again after reading it back in the early 80's. But it seemed to make sense if you believe in such things though.

Besides the Suns she must have also cursed the Nuggets, Nets and Pacers. She left out Charlotte cause they were going to be cursed regardless so she left them out.
