Agreed. Ayton, Book, Mikal, Jae... all of those guys should be getting shots in the paint/at the rim tonight.

The Suns should look back at the Philly game and challenge themselves to shoot even better.

This has turned into a must win game

If we hit them hard enough to open the game, Harden will mail it in.

I hope we stay the same and make them match up.

And he's one of our most aggressive going to the hoop.

When does Booker start getting the superstar treatment?

I'm still a little worried about him. He likes to show off for his ASU alumni. Look for him to score at least 50 tonight.

Make them match up with Kaminsky? Is he going to use his size to punish them for going small?

This team is not ready to do that and still win, would be one or another, and still would be vulnerable to a Harden big night.

When he plays a single playoff game? I mean this is his 6th year in the league. I mean, Harden has never missed the playoffs. I know it is a different situation, but by year 4 Harden was leading the Rockets to the playoffs as the #1 option.
Re: Game Day: Nets (17-12) @ Suns (17-9), Tues 2/16/21
The Nets roster is getting so stripped down, James Harden just tried to stuff a wad of $1 bills in its thong!!
Re: Game Day: Nets (17-12) @ Suns (17-9), Tues 2/16/21
Rejected by the thong!
