I really want this win as the Dallas game is already a loss in my mind.

You can't count any game as a loss. It's very tough without Baynes (and of course Ayton), and lately Rubio, and we are 1-3 without Baynes, so that makes things tougher, but despite missing so many players we have hung with or beaten every team we've played. Boston and Miami were the only two that got out of hand other than the last game in the 4th, but of course we were missing a bunch of players. If we have Rubio and/or Jerome back I think that will help quite a bit.

If Baynes plays Friday I'll feel good. If it's Kaminsky at C, well, it will be tough obviously.

Ricky is back! I'm so happy hehe .
About Dallas game, I dont count it as a loss at all. They beat Houston, ok. But other than that they had an easy schedule highlighted by those 2 NYC losses.
We will play and will see whose the winner, but nothing is written on stone.

Hopefully a convincing win tonight with Rubio back. Booker went off vs Washington last year and I don’t see how they slow him down. Could say the same for Beal though. Bryant will feast inside on Frank too. But as long as we aren’t ice cold from 3 I think we take this one.

If Baynes is back we can definitely beat Dallas. If not, I don’t expect a W.

I would love to see this starting lineup tonight:
Ricky
Booker
Oubre
Saric
Diallo.

The strong things in Diallo's game, make him very adequate receptor of Ricky passes, for mid/close shots or alleys.
I hope we see at least some playing time of both together.

What??

Dallas is a solid team, but we have won better teams than them.

Dallas is playing well now and we are without Baynes, but if you are already expecting to lose to a team that got swept by the Knicks, you have zero confidence in the Suns at all.

It is just a feeling. I may expect a win against Lakers or Bucks (whoever you think is the best team) but may expect a lose against Cavs. Not a big deal.

yes, so why already predict a loss? any team can beat any other team.

If Rubio plays, I'm inclined to pick PHX in a blowout.

Watch out for Bryant though, this weak front line, namely Kaminsky, will likely give up career high type numbers to him.

We already gave him a 13/13 FG night last year so we may have some flashbacks

3P% will play a big role in this one, but Denver scored 70 points in the paint against these guys. So let's not settle for 3's.

Hopefully Diallo gets more minutes and rebounds a little better and does not get in foul trouble.

Ricky will start with Kaminsky.
Jerome is active too, I doubt he will play unless is a blowout.
