Projected starting Line-up: PG: Beal SG: Booker SF: Okogie PF: Durant C: Nurkic Is this finally the year they break through and win it all? Can KD stay healthy when it matters most? Will the lack of a true PG hurt this squad? It'll be a fun and interesting year, in the least. LFG!

What is all this Devin Booker wanting to go to the Knicks talk? Phoenix finally gets good again and their best player wants out??

lol Booker is going nowhere. He has repeatedly expressed his desire to grow and win in Phoenix. He's one of the most beloved figures in the community. Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.

Sounds hopeful that Book will be good to go against Portland.

Phoenix Suns General Manager James Jones said Devin Booker could've played if it was the playoffs even though he missed Sunday's All-Star game with a left knee sprain.
"He's good," Jones said Tuesday afternoon, during an interview with The Arizona Republic. "We'll re-evaluate it. He could've played if he had to. If it's the playoffs, he would've been playing, but it's not. It's an All-Star game."
With the second-best record in the West and the league to Utah (27-9), Phoenix (24-11) resumes action Thursday at Portland (21-14).
"We have a second-half focus that (Booker) deemed was more important than going out there a little banged up," Jones concluded.

Booker listed as questionable for tonight's game against the Blazers. Cam Johnson out due to COVID protocols.

Suns need to get their s**t together when they play the lesser teams. Best record in the Western Conference against teams over .500 at 14-6, but they're only 11-6 against teams .500 or lower. They also need to do better playing at home, where they are just 12-7. Tonight is another test against a lesser team in Memphis, in PHX. Get that W, idiots!

Hi

Suns now have more losses on the season against sub-500 teams than teams with a winning record. And at home vs road, too.

Suns record since starting 8-7 = 21-7. Number of losses against sub .500 teams in that 21-7 stretch: 6. Only loss with a winning record was to the Nets who were down Irving and Durant, and they had a 20+ point lead in the 3rd. They are winning the games against the competitive teams and losing to teams they should be crushing!

Trade Ayton for a center that won't allow a guy to just go around him for a game winning layup.

Are you aware that Ayton has a better PER than Booker? I'm not saying that Ayton is a better player at all, but putting the blame on him for all the Suns mishaps, which lately are only against s**tty teams, is stupid. Monty needs to do a better job of getting his team more engaged against these weak opponents. We shouldn't be in a position to lose a game in the final seconds against a team that's 14-29.

Hornets really tried to contest this as goaltending? lol. Ball snagged clearly outside the cylinder of the rim.
