Things are so rough around here that my guy Superbone is so frustrated that he probably forgot there's a game today since he's been on here and hasn't made the Thread. Maybe he can't be bothered at the moment and who can blame him but yes my friends we take the court again tonight.
The Heat come to town with Whiteside away for personal reasons but there's a chance Dragic might return for this. Heat have been inconsistent this year, in there last 4 games there are 2 - 2 with wins against Pelicans and Jazz but losses to Hawks and Magic so maybe they play down to their competition and we have a chance....

Go Suns!!!

Oh well there's also this

Start Bender, we're already gonna lose anyway.

This GDT is a Superb one.

Play those five (Holmes in, obviously) plus Bender, Daniels and Melton. Would want to see some King as well. No Ryno please.

It's a back-to-back game. But the guys' legs won't be too tired, because you have to hustle to be tired the next day.

Sorry, BG. I slacked on it. The team must be rubbing off on me.

Agreed. There is nothing to be gained by playing Anderson - he's not going to improve, he doesn't make the team better when he plays.
I'm still on Bender island (albeit I need a snorkel to get some air above the rising sea level!) and would like to see him get a consistent run of minutes for a while. Like most of our young guys, we have done a horrible job of developing Bender.

always practice safely. You never know where this team has been...

Over/Under 19 point lead for the Heat at the end of the first.

Ill take the safe bet and go Over.

Suns Drinking Game:

Everytime the Suns give up an uncontested shot take a drink.

Everytime the Suns turn the ball over take a drink.

You don’t even need alcohol. You could play that game with water and it would kill you from water intoxication.

Don't forget about when 4 Suns are under the basket and the other team misses a shot and gets their own rebound and slams it in. I love how the other team gets 2 or 3 tries each time down after fighting for offensive rebounds and our team is already half way down the court after they shoot and miss without any attempt whatsoever at an offensive rebound. SO FUN!!!

Any chance we're really going to repeat this start a third time?

I like Melton in the pick and roll. He's got a good feel for it, just needs to get in sync with Ayton and hit some jumpers so defenders have to respect him.

solid start
Bam making Ayton work in the paint no surprise, in for a battle to keep him off the glass
