It's not the best time for us to be playing the Warriors. They are in the midst of their best stretch of the season while we're in the midst of our worst. Ayton is out.

Go Suns!!!

Not trying to fuel the Ayton Doncic comparison but, if you watch, Doncic rolled his ankle pretty similarly and just came back after 4 games. I would figure we'd have seen Ayton in a boot if it were that serious. But our training staff may not have access to these cutting-edge technologies

If booker is not healthy, shut him down.

You’re kidding me with this, right?

"Ice? Heat? Where do you get such things..."

I think the ankle sprain and how long it takes him to come back isn't a story. I assume we are trying to avoid the same mistake we made with Baynes and Booker and Rubio already this year.

People just love to take a story and run with it here.

We have no idea what the severity of Ayton’s ankle sprain is, since the Suns never divulge such information. But we should be happy if they are making sure it’s completely healed before letting him return.

Doncic came back 12 days after he injured his ankle. It’s only been 10 days since Ayton injured his.

After losing 7 straight games, we are still only 2.0 games out of the playoffs.

Right. two weeks isn't a long time for a decent ankle sprain.

I've had a severe ankle sprain twice in my young adulthood. I'm no athlete but I have played sports all my life, have good coordination and am relatively competitive. That being said, both ankle sprains kept me in a boot and crutches for a month each time. Yes, they are much more athletic and have amazing sports medicine staff taking care of them. But every sprain differs dramatically (one was a bad sprain, the other was an avulsion fracture with hyperextend ligaments pulling out bone spurs). It's crazy how the average Joe that probably never had a bad sprain just expects guys to go full bore against healthy world class athletes in a game a week or two after an injury.

Trap game. The Warriors are playing better than the Suns as of late. Don't just look at their season record!

Suns shooting well, but TOs are preventing Phoenix from building a double-digit lead.

Booker more active, taking it took the rim.

Baynes playing well, also.

Lots of bad passes. Could be up by 20, rather than 10.

21 turnovers through 3 quarters.

With a normal amount it would be a runaway.

And another 4th quarter meltdown.....

Nothing is more frustrating than to see a team blow a lead because they're being out-worked.

Frank, Oubre and Carter REALLY leading us to victory.

If we win this game it’s solely on Booker. The rest of this collection of hot garbage didn’t come to play tonight.
