Phoenix Suns forward Frank Kaminsky III has been sidelined indefinitely with a right patella stress fracture. The team said the 7-foot Kaminsky will be re-evaluated in four weeks. He has not played for the Suns since Dec. 28.

If Devonte doesn't break out of his slump against these guys, I'm going to be real worried.

Glad I did not start the thread tonight. We always seem to lose when I do.

This must be the best first quarter of the season in terms of the opponent's score.

Monk is really a lost cause. This kid cannot put it together. Just another lost lottery pick destined for the dumpster with MKG. Used to be you could trade these types because some coach thought they could work their magic and turn them around.

Miles has more value and needs to be traded for a true SF who can shoot/score.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Funny watching a team start a game the way we usually do - with back to back careless, unforced turnovers.

I don't think Terry is a selfish player at all - he's a pretty willing passer - but I don't think he has very good peripheral vision. He rarely makes diagonal passes, for instance: If he's driving down the lane he's rarely going to see or pass it to an open guy on his 45 for the kick out to the elbow for an open J because he just doesn't see them. He'll drive down the lane and drop the pass off to someone under the rim straight ahead of him, but he's not great with passing to the angle (the way someone like Tae is).

It's so weird seeing Bats being the 1st wing off the bench again. Seems weird having him in with Tae and Rozier out there as well. A combo of Rozier - Thing #1 - Bats or Rozier - Bake - Bats makes more sense to me.

3J does NOT look locked in at all. Seems to be super sloppy and disinterested.

Biz caught his best pass all season - a super slick P&R with Bridges with Bridges hitting the beautiful draw and bounce pass through 2 Phoenix defenders for the Biz dunk. It was a really, really nicely run and executed play............that I did not expect Biz to catch.

Better in-game dunker: Devonte Graham or Raymond Felton?

Bacon doing Bacon things (head down, drive forward). When it works it's ok, when it doesn't it's a mess. Thankfully it's working so far tonight.

HA!! Bridges just tried the same super slick P&R with Cody Z trying the beautiful draw and bounce pass through 2 Phoenix defenders for the Cody dunk. Only this time it was a really, really nicely run but poorly executed play because Bridges bounce passed to where Cody was, not where he was going to be.

Bridges follows up with a nice draw and dump off to Cody for the revised side dunk. Bridges passing the ball very well tonight.

But then Bridges follows up that with that stupid, off foot, running, half hook shoulder heave thing that he does and it rockets off the backboard barely drawing iron.

WTF was that hanging, double pump, floating jumper that Bake took and amde to open the 2nd qtr? That was something else!!

HEY, DOWNTOWN FUNKY MUNKY HIT A 3 BALL!!!

Bridges with another lovely drop off pass to Cody Z as the clock was running down.

Oubre is not terrible. I always thought he was kinda terrible.

Saric looks like he might be a hardcore fetish guy. Like he is into some really, really freaky stuff and has a secret room in his NBA mansion that has an array of costumes and toys neatly displayed in it at his disposal.

Bake committing a cardinal sin of leaving his feet when going to make a pass.......and then underlining, putting it in bold and emphasizing the sin by directing said pass to the referee (who was at least open).

3J changing his shoes to start the 2nd half? Hoping that the change of shoes also changes how utterly awful he was in the 1st half?
Edit: Took and made a 3 to open the scoring in the 2nd half, so maybe he is onto something?

Bridges D on Booker has been sensational this game.

During the flow of a game for every 1 good thing this team does it follows up with 5 or 6 bad things. You couldn't even classify it as them being a roller-coaster. They are more like a reverse bungee.

Bake has a 30 second span that shows the absolute best about him, and then the absolute worst about him. All it takes is 30 mother **** seconds.
