Walker - probable
Tatum - questionable
Brown - doubtful
Williams - out
Fournier - out

I don't think we'll see an opposition injury run like this season in our lifetimes again.

Out of all those players, I’m just happy to see Fournier out.

This whole season kind of feels like the bubble.

Looks like they'll still start a strong team - Walker, Smart, Ojelele, Tatum, Thompson

Brown is their second best player and Fournier, if was going to be a 6th man, is strong.

Still a big benefit for us, but they are hot.

At this point, opposition doesn't matter. If Suns do their thing, they win. This has all the markings of an emotional letdown after 2 terrific wins. Stay focused fellas!! I was shooting for 3-2 on this road trip, now I'm thinking 5-0. I'll be watching on my NBA app while golfing a twilight at Willows Run Golf Club in Redmond, WA. GO SUNS!!!!!!

I'm not sure I want 1st seed, but GO SUNS!

Booker will score big on one of his favorite teams after a slow game vs Sixers.

I just posted this on season speculation thread.

"Phoenix should be set at 2nd seed not chasing the Jazz cause there's a difference between facing Clippers over Lakers. Either way I just want playoff basketball. I'll be thrilled with a WCF appearance but not too thrilled losing in the first round."

I too dont want a fist seed even though we are extremely close and Mitchell is still out.

How many is enough?

Crowder out, Saric questionable.

Could see a rotation of:

Paul, Booker, Bridges, Johnson, Ayton
Payne, Carter, Moore, Craig, Kaminsky

Game only 4 hours away is weird.

Would be interesting to see Craig with the starters

I agree with you. The second unit needs Cam to score points while the starters need a more defensive PF.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #17 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Thu Apr 22, 2021 8:16 pm

Could be interesting matchup wise with 2 specialist wing defenders:

Craig on Tatum
Bridges on Walker

If they need to score an efficient 45-50 points to win that's our best defensive strategy.

We can def go 5-0 on this trip. I don't know what people are talking about not wanting the 1 seed. You really wanna play luka or dame in the first round? No thanks. Give me memphis or GS any damn day. Get that 1st seed.

I would rather play Dallas and Luka than worry about Curry dropping 40 a game in a series
