We've seen all season that our deep bench is just better than other team's 9-15. I sure hope we can put these guys in for spot minutes in the play-in.

We still haven't figured out the Booker - Green - Brooks lineups, so I want to see Ott try some different looks tonight. I don't personally have any easy answers.

Size doesn't matter, guys.

I get it, and that's how we end up with the lineups we've been seeing. It was more palatable when the Suns were winning. I think Ott could for sure sit one of the wings and just tell him that he's taking a look at Fleming. "I know you'll be ready for the playoffs, and I need to see if Rasheer is ...

Sure, but we don't need to get Allen and O'Neale up to speed.

Ott is just a believer that the young guys aren't ready. That's been the case all season long. Maluach only got minutes when Williams was out injured, and Fleming only got minutes when Brooks was out. Dunn got time early, but that was when Green was out. It would be easier to stomach if the Suns ...

Here's an interesting video on load management and the 65 game limit. The most interesting part of the video is the data on how hard NBA players are working their legs. Small sample size, but I think it ha merit.

Not to make it all about me , but these injuries to Ant and Luka are exactly why you take care of business. The Suns could have been fighting for 4th place if they had been a little better in February and Mach. It is about you. Frankly, you were pretty weak in February and March. You can do better ...

Booker - Green is just a tough pairing. No hate for either guy specifically, but they don't pair super well. Together they aren't elite defensively, and they aren't elite ball movers. Are they an elite pairing of individual scorers? Who do you have to surround those two with to make the finals? To ...

Green as a 6th man makes sense, but I doubt he's ready to accept that role at this point in his career. It makes more sense to move him. Green <--> Mikal Bridges (knicks need scoring) Brooks <--> PJ Washington (mavs need to move Washingtons long contract) Allen <--> Victor Wembanyama (spurs need ...

I don't know what you guys are upset about. This is the best the team has looked since December. And by 'the team', I mean the Bulls. Real talk, though. These are the lineup issues we've been talking about since the preseason. The good thing is that deep bench is better than most of us expected. The ...

Starting Goodwin? I like it. I've previously said that I like CG in the starting lineup to bring some IQ and ball movement to the starters, but that sure didn't work. The offense kind of sucked anyway, so we might as well get a 3 and D guy out there to bring some intensity. Maybe CG and Oso can get ...

Who knows, maybe Ott's showing his starters that they don't have it so that down the line he can play the young guys more. I don't know. I do hold out hope due to him saying everything's on the table in the post game interviews. Only 5 games left. There really isn't a "down the line" for this team.

The Suns are 12-15 going back through Feb. Gotta gain some momentum going into the post-season. With 6 games left, at least 3 of them will be tough games. The Hornets, Rockets, and Lakers will all have a lot to play for. The Bulls and Mavs have only personal pride, and OKC might be resting the final ...

It really is baffling how bad the rotations have been lately. Allen + O'Neal for the entire 4th quarter is pretty much a worst-case scenario. I might have to change my sig.

They have a couple of starters out injured, too. We just can't take them for granted. The rest of the guys should want to prove themselves.

Agreed that it's not a trap. The Magic are a play-in team that is very close to moving all the way up to the 5th seed. I don't think they will, but they have to believe that they can. They need this win an we know they are going to give us everything they can. I do think we match up well against ...

I feel like the games when we missed him were mostly games that a bunch of people sat out. I'm not saying he's a 0 - just that he's not the heart of the team that the media story lines made him out to be. It'll def be nice to have a starting quality SF back in the lineup tonight.

I gotta get this sacrilege out of my system before the game tonight. Anyone else just not miss Brooks. I mean, it'll be nice to have a competent scorer and good defender. He's an upgrade from Dunn for sure. But the narrative for most of the season was how he set the tone for the Suns defense, and I ...
