Prepare to have a Ball. A LaMelo Ball and a battle, that is. Hornets have been playing well. Suns have struggled on the road. Can the Suns play with defensive intensity for four quarters? Can they stop opposing teams from getting to the basket at will? They had better learn fast or this will be a quick playoff run. And play the bench mob for god's sake! Fleming, Dunn, and Maluach, along with Goody can cause some defensive havoc. We need that! And if Brooks takes a terrible shot, yank him from the game! I don't care if he's a veteran, he should know better. We might be better off if he gets another tech but let's see if he can contain himself for once.

When I first glanced at that picture my first thought it was Joe Kleine on the left. I did a double take and then realized it was Colin.

Getting a less-is-more vibe from the team right now in terms of healthy bodies.

Hornets are a pretty scary team. We look outmatched here in the 3rd. They are faster, bigger, and seem to have a lot more energy and movement than we do.

Not particularly worried about losing this specific game, but the whole team is out of sync with each other and their roles/minutes.
We'll be lucky to make the playoffs if these trends continue.

This team has to regain their identity and fast. Playoff time is literally around the corner. All those players missing time and not coming back has messed with this teams cohesion. Suns are not a cohesive unit now.
They got a couple of days in between till the game Sunday at Chicago. They have to recreate and sustain defensive identity.
We know they're going to be in the play-in tournament, but you don't want to lose that 7th seed and have to play on the road.

Ya'll need to remember the expectations at the beginning of the year.... Good lord. The season could end today, and I'd still be happy with how things turned out, given how everything played out.

Out-rebounded 47-30.
Suns played with little energy and little flow after the first quarter.
Defense suffers when Green and Gillespie are on the court together along with Book.
Fleming playing just eight minutes is unwise.
