    No that was corrected. He is out until after the ASB. Sounds like Sengun is going to miss as well. I'm afraid Durant and Booker are going lights out tonight despite the btb. Amen can't carry this team on his own and Jalen hasn't shown up this month. Butler is a great fit in GSW. We will lose that game as well.

    I was surmising since they brought up a center from RGV. Maybe it is just a pre-caution and Sengun plays. His back has been bothering him most of the season. I can't imagine he will not be on a mins limit given that the all-star break is upcoming and he could get some much needed rest.

    Oh and those were magnificent. Bacon, capers, shallots, garlic, and I think some sort of brown sugar butter. I think one day I may just make these brussel sprouts the entree.

    There's been no announcement yet about that. He practiced yesterday and he's gonna test out his back before the game tonight to see if he can go.

    Suns are garbage, so there’s no excuse for losing this one

    we’ve got a B2B with the Warriors coming to town tomorrow, so we need to handle business against the sorry Suns quickly

    Alpi will probably play. He posted the game announcement on Instagram and he hasn't deleted it yet so I guess that means he is playing.

    KD and Booker played about 40 mins each last night and they’ll be traveling to Houston. We have no excuses to lose this if Sengun is playing.

    I
    If Sengun plays we have a shot, but we lost 2 to the Nets. We barely beat Toronto. I don't think this is a slam dunk even if Alpi plays.

    Suns on a b2b maybe we can capitalize? Jalen Green is most likely hungover from his bday. This is gonna be rough

    Jalen has been putrid lately. If he shows up we should win. I don't like the odds of him playing well.

    The Suns have Cleveland's pick (currently #29), so they can look at the draft talent available at that selection...

    Basically OKC can swap their pick with ours (protected 1-10) and we can swap OKC's pick with the Suns.

    So the most likely scenario is OKC gets our pick, we get Suns pick and Suns get OKC pick.

    His 3 pt has been bad lately but his FG% isnt that bad. More importantly he is like Jokic and SGA combined compared to HoliReed.

    No Devin Booker or Grayson Allen for the Suns tonight. So there are absolutely no excuses even if Alpi sits.
