suns by 10…. Oso with 4 blocks
Not entering the Giannis FT contest?
Greek gets 12 fts, misses 2…. 10 for 12 from the line with an average of 15 seconds between free throws

There is the Kryptonic wit and wisdom that we cherish.

I think Beal should play when healthy and should take some of those Gillespie minutes. I like Gillespie but I don't think he is ready to play 20 minutes a game every night. I think you can give Beal some of KD's minutes, too. No need to play KD 36 min a night; preserve him, keep him healthy. I think you could grab some of the other guys' minutes in there, too (Royce, maybe even a few from Dunn) to make enough min for Beal to play. Beal off the bench isn't so bad to me; I also think he can benefit from playing in lineups with mostly hustle/energy guys, the same way Book and KD have.

I don't think you can bring Beal back. Shut him down for the year, tell him you'll try and work out a trade in the offseason.

And he'll tell you, "Good luck with that!"

Play Beal 1 more game so we get to 42 games with the big 3, then shut him down

It will be interesting to see what Bud designs to defend Giannis since he knows his game so well.

Keep him off the line. When he barrels into the lane, get out of the way.

I'm thinking the opposite.

I expected Richards to start but Oso needs to be the primary big off the bench and play as much as needed.

Mavs won earlier tonight, so this is a MUST win for the Suns.

It’s not a must win…this was always one of the Dallas likely wins as they were playing a tanking Nets team….but this is definitely one of our most “winnable” games left…so a win is pretty crucial.

I kinda hate that this team drew me back in…I could just pick and choose when I watched and didn’t care that much about the result…now I’m fully hooked and stressed again haha

Suns playing ok, but shots aren’t falling. Need to start hitting some 3s. We’re playing defense though so that’s keeping it close.
