Oh, we all wallow together in our pain. When we started our last game, we were finally totally healthy! It didn't even last a quarter of basketball! First Jalen Green goes out for precautionary measures. And then in the third quarter Booker gets hurt in a fluke accident with seconds remaining. Oh, well. Next man up. Onto the next game. Good thing we have guard depth. Bouyea will get an opportunity. Brooks needs to get back on track.

Heat by 7.

[Split T]

Green listed as questionable is a good sign

[Mori Chu]

It's gonna be tough without Booker. We have other good players who can step up into his minutes, but nobody else can create the gravity he does. So I think open shots are going to be tough to come by. Nevertheless, if Green plays I think we have a decent chance to stay afloat while Book is recovering.

[Kryptonic]

I expect Brooks to go full chuck mode when he should tame it back a bit.

[Superbone]

I would not count on Green playing. It sure would be nice if he can come back relatively quickly rather than another 20 games though.

[Superbone]

[Split T]

Maybe that explains why we are favored even without Book

[Danimal]

Maybe that explains why we are favored even without Book

Heat seem to have a bunch of injuries as well. Enough to make it seem like a trade is imminent

[Split T]

Oh, didn’t realize that…who’s out for them?

[Uncle_Gene]

Suns supposed to be wearing "the Valley" jerseys again.

Hopefully it leads to a win tonight.

[ShelC]

Herro and Ware are out. Mitchell is doubtful.

I don't know if this upcoming stretch without Book and Green will determine our season but I know we can't let go of the rope. This would be a good one to get, maybe playing off some desperation or adrenaline? Heat could be tired, if we keep them running maybe they fade. Hopefully Brooks is a more willing passer and we can get him some rhythm shots or going downhill rather than his usual ISO work.

Basically a valley suns game tonight jk

[3TheHardaway]

Gillespie is so much fun to watch.

[Mori Chu]

I'll switch over to this one after the Seahawks game is over. Go Suns!

[Superbone]

Piece of crap, refs! That was a ridiculous call on Goodwin. He was the one being grabbed. Bullshit!

[Superbone]

And then they have the gall to challenge the next one. This is some BS. Refs are off to a horrible start in this one. Obvious flagrant against Oso before that.

[Superbone]

I'm telling you, if a fight breaks out, it's these refs fault.

[ShelC]

We're hanging tough but not hitting shots. 36% from the field and 2-17 from 3. Getting outrebounded by 10 and they've taken a bunch more FTs. If we could knock down some shots we'd be right in it.
