Gambo thinks Canaan is going back to the starting lineup.

We need to start winning some games and this one we *should* win. The Bulls have a worse roster than we do.

I love watching LaVine play. November has not been kind to him though. He's sub 40% from the field after shooting 50% from the field in October. I like TJ - though I'd still include him in a trade if necessary this Summer - but a LaVine/Booker back court would have been really, really fun to watch for a long time.
Go Suns!

The rule is that we don’t say “this one we should win,” no matter who the opponent, until our record reaches .350 at least.

Right? Bulls are favored in this game and have a 68.?% chance of winning already before the game.

I was wrong, it's 63%. https://twitter.com/TheTimelinePod/status/1065300635929710592

I came here expecting to see everyone venting
I have Mikal in fantasy so just saw the Alert that Canaan starting so he's coming off the bench. I hope that is Gambo assuming and being wrong.....
I don't hate Canaan but I find his decision making hasn't been good last two games after doing an Okay job and hitting his shots

The follow up tweet:




This is crazy. We stumbled on to something good last game, why are we trying to match up with the Bulls and not forcing them to match up with us.

Sure, if you don't follow standard rounding rules. To me, that's 64%. Truncation? Pffft.

It's probably 50/50 but they get a leg up since it's in Chicago.

Boo! Why stick with something that was successful? The Athletic compared our starting lineup's +/- and sure it's only one game but it dominated the others (last game starters).
