Let’s do it again. Maybe different results this time? Maybe play hard for all 48 minutes? Just a thought.

Need something to wash this World Series loss and Tuesday’s embarrassment out of my mind…. Suns by 20.

I bet Book plays tonight. I bet watching that game slip away on Tuesday stuck with him.

That has nothing to do with it. It’s a medical decision, not about whether he wants to play. Of
course he wants to play, and would regardless of what happened on Tuesday. The question is whether, medically, it’s a good idea for him to do so.

Not sure which shams pod but if true that’d be great. Also, that timeline aligns with my own gut predictions I made a few days ago. #TrustTheGut

Reminds me of a game we played against Houston…I believe we led for the entire game and Harden(maybe?) hit a shot(time expired while ball was in the air) to win it…so we literally led for 48 minutes.
It’s possible the shot sent it to OT, I don’t remember. I’ll try and find the game.

I don't want to open up that discussion again, but I'll be paying specific attention to the way we run offence through the centers. 4 games in, and the centers are giving us a combined 6.5 assists per game and are the top 2 in assist per 36. I've appreciated their passing so far, but haven't really focused on it yet. It'll be fun to watch for the details.

I must have some info wrong. We did lose twice to Houston over the last 10 years on buzzer beaters(one in 2014-15 where Harden won it for them, but they led most of that game). The other might be what I’m thinking of. We lost as Gerald Green hit a 3 at the buzzer, but Houston did have one small 18-17 lead early in the game. Otherwise the suns led that whole game.

That's interesting that you could lead for the entire 48 minutes and still lose if the winning shot passed through the net after the clock had expired. I'm sure it's happened in the history of the league. So...it could have been worse.
Thanks for the ray of sunshine.

My indifference until the core group is back as gone through the roof. I do not care about these early games. Weird feeling tbh.

It was definitely a letdown to start the season without Beal and then another one to lose Book after game 1.

It seems just like it's what the Suns are now, you hope they can make it through the season. I applaud the effort to go all in, I really do, but maaaan when KD is healthy one it does not give me comfoode in the long run.
