Suns have the offensive firepower to compete against anybody. Just got to step it up defensively.

Monty is stubborn and will likely start Shamet at SG like he did in the regular season, with Cam Johnson still coming off the bench.
Maybe, but even during that stretch of 7 games, Shamet didn't even average starter minutes, where CamJ did. So he might not start, but he is going to get over 30 minutes a game and Shamet will probably not hit 25 unless he is cooking.
You’re probably right. Shamet needs minutes to catch rhythm. I just would love to see Cam Johnson start getting a taste for having a bigger role early on and give Ayton more front court help. When he’s in rhythm, he has potential to take over a game.

Windhorst article is misleading and includes no new information. It basically says, Devin Booker has a grade 1 hamstring strain (not news) and those typically carry a recovery time of 2-3 weeks (not specific to Booker's case). I'm hoping it's a 2 game thing, but I also know nothing. I'm basically going off his reaction to the injury - he was definitely annoyed, but didn't grab at the hammy or limp or anything. Seems like a tweak.

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. It's completely irresponsible for ESPN to manufacture a news story out of made-up fake news. You can also google it and see sites that say grade 1 can heal in a few days. Windhorst didn't need "sources" to reveal to him that it was a grade 1. The Suns already said in their public release that it was a mild strain which = grade 1. We also didn't need Windhorst to google that for us to see how long a grade 1 takes to recover from. :roll:

I like that..Most versatile defensively. That’s how we need to win.

The Suns have thrived off of adversity this season. Booker out and the Pels winning a game in Phx qualifies. Expect a lot of effort toningt.

That’s a pretty telling stat…some of it is we don’t always feed him, but we also just take what the defense gives us. Defenses try to take away those shots from Ayton because they are so efficient. Ayton consistently being aggressive and getting those shots regardless is what a max player looks like. Last night he was a max player.

He was looked off in Game 2 by CP3 who kept throwing up bricks or feeding Jae who kept launching 3s.

Other than that shove leading to his ejection, Jaxon Hayes seems like a nice guy:

Somehow, Indy is up again for the weekly news thread. Anyway, I have news...

I am going to Game 5!!! Go Suns! This is make or break time. We DO NOT want to go down 2-3.
