this is an early injury report and his status can always change but obviously this would be a big deal since he's been lights out this season/month

The Thunder are on a 2-game losing streak and 5-5 over their last 10, with recent losses to the Bulls, Pelicans, and Timberwolves. They're definitely beatable, but we need to match or exceed their energy level if we hope to win. Ayton needs to rebound like a mofo. Warren and Booker both need to have solid offensive performances. JJ and Oubre need to minimize their mistakes.

Let's hope Adams has to worry about that just as much as Ayton:

I could see him settling in as a 22 & 12 guy. 15 rebs a game is pretty crazy to do and thus the elite company he'd be in.
Go Suns!

Yea the whole "TJ can be our PF averaging 5rbs a game because Ayton will grab 15" argument doesn't fly with me. We're 28th in the league in rebounds, 25th in blocks, 27th in defensive rating, 22nd in opponents 2nd chance points and 29th in opponents points in the paint. That's not all on TJ and those numbers are probably skewed from our bad start at the beginning of the season but you get the picture.

Luckily, DeAndre is on the Mavericks and won't have to worry about this one. Deandre on the other hand...Cap wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 8:41 amAdams vs us this season:

Re: Game Day: Thunder (21-12) @ Suns (9-26), Fri 12/28/18
Yeah, I'd think the blocks must be steadily increasing between Holmes and Ayton's block party as of late. Also, our new addition Oubre Jr. is pretty good at it.ShelC wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 11:26 amYea the whole "TJ can be our PF averaging 5rbs a game because Ayton will grab 15" argument doesn't fly with me.

Do you guys realize that this is Kelly Oubre Jr.'s first Phoenix Suns home game? Let's hope the crowd gives him a warm reception.

He played his ass off coming to a new team on a big road trip. He should get a nice welcome.
