That's right, there's still a game tonight. We're going to have a skeleton crew without Book, Mikal, and Cam. Who else starts with Paul and Ayton? Craig, Damion, and Wainright? Do we have enough to field a bench? Okogie, Saben, Jock, Biz... I think that's it.

Go Suns!!!

Our roster is comically thin. We have only real 2 forwards active by my count: Craig and Wainwright. Oof. I guess in a pinch we can play D. Lee and Landale as forwards, but that's a thin frontcourt. My guess is we lose this one due to all the distractions; ATL is a good team and we can't just send in a skeleton crew and expect a win. But that's okay.

Atlanta was surprisingly quiet today. The brought in Bey, but he they're already loaded with swingmen.

If Kevin Love really gets bought out, I’d waive Landale to sign him.

All these deals this week and the Suns still couldn't acquire a mask to fit Okogie's face?

Paul is gassed.

It's very weird not seeing Mikal out there.

Okogie is amazing on defense. I’d like to see him as a starter. As long as he can hit his open shots I think it’s worth a stretch starting him for a string of games.

I thought Okogie would start.. hoping to see him break out while we find some more wings.

Is Damion Lee regressing to the mean? 38% from the field and 35.5% from 3 in the last 10.

Nah this is an easy lineup to defend where all Hawks gotta do is pack Ayton and stay home on the perimeter. Spacing is terrible, CP3 can’t cook in these games for shit. I hope we sign all the fucking guards bought out. Lol.

First time since 2017-2018 season…the last game we played without Mikal was the 36 point Alec Peters game

The Hawks broadcast is giving a bunch of shit to Ayton for his one rebound and overall meh game.

This game is so stupid, we're clearly playing better than them, just need one shotmaker in there.

That's on Monty.

I just really hope when Durant start playing for us we don't get this Ayton.

No, Ayton knew we couldn't win this game, so he is conserving his energy so that he can perform in the playoffs.

What a game for Okogie; 25 points. Wainwright also has 17, somehow. Our starting frontcourt of Craig and Landale only chipped in 2 and 4 points, respectively. That'll do it.

The rebounding is not on Monty, but the offensive gameplan is.

Sure, they were pretty shorthanded, but they have to get more out of Craig, D. Lee and Landale and Ayton only getting 2 rebounds is execusable.
