Game Day: Heat (20-14) @ Suns (18-16), Fri 1/5/24

Post by Superbone »

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: AZ Family 3TV, NBALP

Did the Butler do it? Not this time. Jimmy Butler is out tonight as the Miami Heat visit the Suns. But we can’t let down as the Heat are 5-1 in this last stretch of games Butler has missed. This is the last game of a five game road trip for the Heat so they will be looking to end it strong. Kevin Durant on the other hand, we don’t know yet. Let’s hope the Suns start the game with much more urgency this time out compared to how they started the Clippers game.

The Suns are a work in progress for sure. They did look good with all three playing offensively speaking. Bol Bol making an appearance and a splash lately is a surprise. The Clippers at full strength were tough. With KD playing I think we take this game. No KD and it will be a little closer.

My gut tells me KD sits out for the next couple of weeks.

I hope so too. It's been acting up all season.

KD plays tonight and drops 50 in 3 quarters as we win by 36. Bol has 30 off the bench, 21 in the 4th Q as he pulls off the call back to his dad and even tops it by going 7-7 from 3 in the 4th.

Looking into the future like this, was this DMT assisted?

How many pots have you smoked?
Jones and Vogel out, Lue or Lee in, draft Grant Nelson or Tyler Kolek.

Would KD then play the B2B against the Grizz and Clips?

My gut tells me that KD will stand on business and will play both games.

My other guy prediction was that he was going to play both Grizzlies and clippers games despite it being a back to back.

They're close. Herro is one of the few players I've seen wearing the orange Book 1's recently. AFAIK, Booker decides who receives them.
