Gambo had said he didn't think Allen would play. If we win tonight he can get another 4-5 days rest. Gotta take care of bidness.
Which is what the tweet above says.

I just hope we go deep in our rotations. if we play 7 man rotations we are going to struggle, its not our identity and it was ugly those last few games. It can work if book/JG/DB get hot but it wont work consistently.

I'd like to see us feed MW a bit too.. he has a huge advantage.

I want the Suns to play with pride and passion and bring the energy tonight. No letdown. I want coach Ott to play Maluach if he has to. If you're getting crushed on the boards early and small ball isn't working, then go ahead and play him. I don't want to see the Suns lose this game and then play another game for the right to meet OKC.

Handle Business. !!

Go Suns !!

Ok
I been in the shadows last couple weeks just waiting on The Show

I didn't bother to get too down on the guys ending to the season and chose to remain happy with the surprise they've been. Now getting ready for tonight one thing that immediately came to mind is yes the Team has Overachieved but Book's playoff exits have been brutal since the Finals loss

So he kinda has to ball out regardless and lead the guys since he still has a narrative of not being a Big Time player floating around

The fact that the plot probably around Camara as a primary defender and Jrue the ghost of past is two dudes I hope don't get the upper hand on him cause that will be tough to swallow for obvious (different) reasons

Lets Go !! 8-)

I was watching the end of the Heat/Hornets game on Prime until the Suns game started. It went to overtime but they ended the broadcast with 45 seconds left in the game. Wow!!

Jalen Green looks great with 10 points already. Suns shooting 9-11 (!!).

Yep Portlands 3s keeping them close. Feels like we should be further ahead.

Robert Williams III is literally using two hands and pushing off to get leverage and get a rebound or on screens. The refs aren't calling it.
