The Suns close out their 6 game Eastern road trip Friday night in Atlanta coming in on a three game win streak. Yours truly witnessed two of these. Jalen Green is back, baby! Trae Young is gone and CJ McCollum is his replacement. Jalen Johnson continues to be big for the Hawks.

Some crazy stat like we haven't won there since 2014? I do remember some blowouts and close games in recent years. Seems to be one or the other. Jalen Johnson can give us problems, NAW has been having a strong season. Hopefully we can finish the road trip strong to go 4-2.

Having Jalen Green back has been great, but it feels like he's still been getting back into rhythm so far. I'm looking forward to him having a great game where he feels comfortable and into our offensive flow. Maybe that'll be tonight.
ATL has been really struggling lately, especially since the Trae Young trade. Probably still just adjusting to the big change to their roster. I didn't really like the trade for them; CJ McCollum is a far more ordinary player than Trae was, and they didn't get a single pick. But maybe it's addition by subtraction.

This is a revenge game. Gotta pay back that loss from earlier this year.
Also, they'll be rocking "the Valley" jerseys again tonight. Anything less than a win will be uncivilized.

He's played like 2 games this year, wouldn't get my hopes up just yet

The losing streak has always been a random stat
This now makes it even crazier

Supposedly Green went to the locker room after that. I hope it's nothing serious

Green still isn't back on the bench from the locker room. This doesn't seem good.

D@mn. Hawks end the half on a 8-0 run. It's been a seesaw, back and forth game. Hopefully the Suns can win.

Fml, seriously? Man.. poor guy can’t catch a break. If he did re-injure it I’d bet he’s shut down for the year.

Wonder if green being out took some wind out of their sails….

Yep right hamstring tightness. He won't return tonight for "precautionary" purposes.
