Regardless of health, if we lose this, we're in serious trouble.

Can't afford to lose this game. This is a must-win. The Suns have been terrible of late and we have to change the trajectory of this 4 game losing skid that's partially understandable since we were playing steep competition. But the Suns? We better not lose.

This is not a must win game, it is a SURE WIN game.

Suns will probably tank now with Bledsoe out for the season. Terrible, terrible FO. New coaching staffs.

Nic Batum (sprained toe) upgraded to questionable. He'll test the injury in shoot around Wednesday.

No surprise about Lamb. If Nic can play that's good but really, if he looked like he did in the last game he played, let him rest. To be honest, I don't like how Lin looks either. Even Kemba doesn't look quite right. If Nic and Lin play, I really hope their minutes are limited to say 25. Sit Lamb, let him suit up and rest. Play Roberts, Daniels, guys like that. Frank can play more minutes, he seems to be healthy.

seriously

we should win this game though, given how the suns are in complete disarray right now. we've been playing better for the past 4 games or so. just tough teams + injuries.

if we lose... well, it'll be interesting to see how we lose

Lol. This isn't close to rock bottom.

my first thought as well. I can still get a lot worse. We could conceivably be 10 games under .500 by end of this month.

I'm honestly pretty down on the team right now. Our defense is horrifying. Last time we gave up less than 98 points was on November 29th

You know you're a new fan when you call being .500 in January rock bottom.

injuries to put more pressure on Kemba to play hero ball.

I'm preparing to be pissed already

Hero ball by anyone = me pissed. When 2/3rds of buckets are assisted = me happy. Play the right way, share the ball. Get everyone involved.

I'm pretty down on our defense. Our frontcourt rotation pretty much speaks for itself. We can turn around the offense by getting healthy and a couple players finding their shots again. We have a very tough schedule right now, but a loss against a dysfunctional imploding team like the Suns would be rock bottom.

MKG could not have picked a worse season to miss.

We need to be alive. One game at a time. Lamb is getting better, Kemba always Kemba, would Batum play? Lin needs to be better at 3, big guys need to play like big guys.

Warriors, OKC, LAC No.1, No.2, No. 4 offense, OKC and LAC have been hot lately... just unfortunate schedule... injuries made it worse
losing to Wizards, Rockets... to Celtics at home really hurt

We have to win this game, no matter what.
