Suns are like healthy healthy? Stil expect it to take a few games to get in the swing of things

[Flagrant Fowl]

Healthy-ish.

The Wolves are rolling right now, so try to not freak out if they beat the Suns with all of our guys available for the first time since the first preseason game in Detroit.

Context is important, though. If the Suns screw around and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the 4th quarter like they have been, by all means, freak out. I'll be here doing the same.

The Wolves are a bad matchup for us with their size, but on the second game of a tough back to back it's probably as good a time as any to play them.

That said, it won't surprise me if we lose tonight particularly if Book and Beal are on minute restrictions. If we can limit the turnovers and avoid the 4th quarter collapse we're in with a chance.

Does Nurk finish what Draymond started and choke out Gobert and kill him in the middle of the court? Possibly, that would definitely get him at least a 3 game suspension.

[Nodack]

If Book is on a serious minute restriction start him and then don’t play him until the fourth. Someone needs to score in the fourth and that’s Booker’s forte.

First regular season game with the Big 3 so I wouldn't draw any conclusions from the game....unless we win by 30.

[Mori Chu]

Wolves have been one of the biggest positive surprises in the league so far. Legitimately a top-5 best team in the league. Show me who had that on their predictions.

If we want to have a big 4th quarter for scoring, this may not be the team to do it against. They're one of the best defensive teams in the league. But with Booker back, we may be able to overcome it.

Honestly I don't really even care if we get the W at this point. I just want to see signs that this team is going to work with all of our Big <= 3 on the floor.

[MightyMoog]

At this point, I’m happy if we get through a game without an injury or a setback.

[Wally_West]

We should sit KD for this game if Book and Beal are a go. We don’t want KD coming back to early. It’s okay to wait a game.

Shhhhhh…. Bone wants to update the ticker for the positive for once

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'm down to my last reverse jinx tactic; I bet on the Wolves to win.

Vegas has the Suns as 5-point favorites, so I suppose that should make us feel a little optimistic.
