Suns are stealing this game you heard it here first. Nurkic & Allen are GTD but I truly believe they wi suit up to play. Thunder missing Chet, Caruso, & Jaylin so it’s not like they’re injury free. Expect huge games from Booker and Royce as they lead Phoenix to an 117-112 victory.

MIN game is more important being an opponent for the lower seeds, so if Nurk and Allen are not fully healthy it's better they sit against OKC. Nurk especially is kinda useless against the Thunder while we need him ready for Gobert.

It would be cool if we could hit a fricking shot.

This is going to be a loss almost assuredly, hurting our chances for the cup. So now that we've got that covered, just how bad is the beating going to be tonight? Single digits, double, or high double?

WTF are they doing? Booker is super disappointing this season. Step the eff up.

Great that Okogie is balling, but I also feel like if Okogie is your best offensive player, it's gonna be a rough night because that means no one else is doing anything positive.

Why Nurk no dunk?
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

We really just need to start hitting some damn shots at an average rate and we will get back in it.

This is the result of tying up two thirds of your salary cap in extremely injury prone players.

2/18 from 3 and 11/17 FTs is nutty.

There's a bunch of injured stars players right now league wide pretty much. We just aren't making shots at all. We shoot even low average and it's a tie game.

Yeah, so far it’s one of those nights. We can’t buy a 3, and we are having decent looks.

Literally allowed to grapple Booker. It's kind of comical if it wasn't so frustrating.

Nurk literally can’t help himself doing dumb stuff. We are going nowhere if this guy is starting by playoffs comes around.

Twelve down with a terrible shooting night, not bad. If we start making our threes at a decent clip we will have a close game.

I like how Okogie, Dunn and Monte are playing, Booker has been denied by their sofocating defense.

The fact that we're only down by 14 is what I'd consider fortunate.

I know we are without some key players but I'd like to see a better effort from us , a little disappointed tbh.
