Be prepared for the Suns to shoot the lights out at G1C.

With w/o KD, and especially w/o Ayton (who seems to always play well against SAC), this is a home game the KINGS should win. But they also should have beaten PHI w/o Embiid and the Bearded Hag AND at Utah the other day w/o Markkanen and Clarkson. And neither happened,

So who knows.

no Ayton means Book is going to be taking even more shots than usual so the key is to contain him as much as possible and play him 1 v 1 regardless of result

Okay... Let's Go!!! Took a mini-break from Kingsfans after the Boston loss. Excited for the game tonight. I have a feeling they are looking to prove something tonight. Booker always kills us, so hopefully we can keep him from going nuclear and things should be OK.

Great to have Huerter back. I think I may have underestimated what he means to the team. I know sometimes he's not hitting his shots and Brown limits his minutes; however, without him starting it just seemed to throw the whole substitution pattern out of whack. Wasn't crazy about the Kessler starting, followed by a first sub in with Davis, and then a later sub in with Monk rotation. It just seemed weird in its effort to keep Monk in his usual bench role.

Or we can rotate off of him to crash into the paint then desperately run at him with an arm outstretched as he rains three after three!!!
Miss the O rebound and poor D on the 3. Best of both worlds.... wait that's not right.

Seriously put 3 guys on booker. Let everyone else get theirs.

This is definitely not the time to come undone or let a couple losses get you down. We were clearly gassed after 6 games in 9 nights or whatever the hell. Just have more focus and pride at home and don’t let anyone else come in our building and punk us. Enough.

You'll both hear from me (most likely tomorrow at some point) when we do in a couple of hours...:p:p:p

Just sayin'.
I'm not saying I'm confident in a win. The fact that they dropped that Jazz game should make anyone afraid that this is another trap game.

But just the general sentiment that we have confidence in this team (and the coach, front office etc) for the first time in forever is a fantastic thing.

Agreed. We're a dangerous team now, even if we've been on a bad streak.

Yup! Probably the best thing that has happened to this franchise, and the fanbase.

A lot depends on whether the bench shows up. They seemed to be running on fumes in the two losses to Utah and Boston. Huerter is "probable" tonight. We'll see if that holds true.

Bismack Biyombo, the Suns' backup center, plays a lot better now than he did in Charlotte, where I swore he must have an ocular astigmatism because he could not seem to catch the ball. I was astounded when he landed another contract.

Edit: Huerter is now "Available" per the team.

Looking forward to shouting at the TV tonight! I'm already furious just thinking about the 40 + Booker is gonna drop!

Sabonis better go off without Ayton patrolling the paint, I'd love for him to look for his own shot more tonight and break 25pts...

Must win for the Suns. I don't think it's the end of the world if we do drop this one, but I for one will definitely act like it is.... That's what a losing streak does to a fan!
