The Suns finally return home for a stretch and host the Durant-less Nets. Suns finally getting a little good news in the return of Cam Johnson. Also good news to many of you is that Shamet is out. You also might recognize a fella by the name of T.J. Warren on the Nets. Can the Suns get a rare win? Gather round and we'll find out together.

Having CamJ back will be nice, but I don't think he'll be able to make the difference if CP3 and Book are both still out. Cam needs guards to help set him up for open shots. I kind of think they should just hold CamJ back until CP3 returns, if that isn't tonight.

I still think he’s better than the alternative, regardless of who’s passing the ball to him.

Shamet is in one game, out the next, in one game, out the next. At least it feels like he is. Still have an awful lot of guys out and the Okogie injury is a tough one, as he has been a very good addition. Much better than Shamet, imo.

My understanding is that Kyrie is a game time decision.

Yes my boy is back and obviously what impact he will make is going be discussed/analyzed
The fact that it's a knee surgery he's returning from I would figure that he's going to take a bit to ramp up or maybe I might just be putting in a early excuse for when he's put under the scrutiny as everyone else :oops: :)

To be continued...

Nets have been losing without Durant, Suns have been losing without Booker. Which one will give tonight?

Irving versus Saben Lee. I have a pretty good idea. At least Ayton should dominate against Nic Claxton.

Claxton has been very good, especially defensively

No way a second round pick could compete with a #1 overall, right?

I figured Kyrie would play when I looked at the Nets schedule. He smells blood in the water going against the Suns back court and the Nets play in Utah tomorrow night.

The Nets uni's are straight garbage....

As far as tonight's game goes, who the hell really knows. I keep on thinking to myself that we just need to keep it steady until our missing pieces come back and then we can get back into good playoff contention/seeding. However, I just have a bad feeling that we are going to get dominated once again. Will be staying up late here on the east coast as always to see what happens regardless.

Please let me be wrong about the outcome.

Heart says Suns win and we get some confidence back, head says 114-104 Nets victory.

Ask the reigning back to back mvp.

Ayton with 6/4/3 in 5:38.

The silence is deafening in here.

But typical Monty takes Ayton out because he's dominating.

The Ayton career rollercoaster has been falling so much recently that he was bound to start climbing back up soon.

Nothing has changed.
