Game 61: OKC Thunder (41-18) @ Phoenix Suns (35-25) | Sunday | 7:30 PM
It's gonna be interesting to see the injury list for this one.
I expect Book OUT and Royce O'Neale IN.
I have my doubts about Nurkic and Eric Gordon...hopefully both are IN too.
We can put this 9-man rotation:
Beal/Gordon
Allen/Gordon
O'Neale/Okogie
KD/Bol
Nurkic/Eubanks or Thad
I like our chances IF we have this rotation available for this one. I expect a huge game from Beal.

At least Mavs suck as much as we do in 1st qtr. Celtics hopefully will take care of Warriors. Both teams with a lot easier schedules, so we need as much help from other teams as we can get.

If Nurk can't play, I would think about starting Bol. I am not sure how much he's played with starters, but I imagine he would do pretty well. Be nice to have him to guard Holmgren too.
I noticed Porzingis is out for the Celtics, so he may be injured the two times we play them in the next couple weeks.

Mavs 14 points down to start the 4th. Interesting.

Less talent, but one can clearly see the importance of a floor general in Lowry, execution on offense and giving effort on D pays off big time. Oh, Kelly Oubre being dominant is key too.
P.S. Luka turned his ankle now. This game is so similar to our last game. Lol
Edit : Wish Beal and Book had Luka's ankles.

... and did the Celtics took care of the Warriors. Beat Mavs handily and now this trashing. We play these monsters twice in a week or so. Let's hope Mavs and Warriors keep dropping games. They play each other three times until end of regular season.

Pretty much all the teams in that 5-8 in the West have consistency issues of their own. I don't really see any one team really breaking away from this block nor join that 1-4 either. It's obviously not where I'd hoped we be but here we are

This ended up in an almost best possible scenario for us after how grim it seemed last night, with only Book out and everybody else available.
I'm keen to see what Beal will do with an expanded role. We really need him to earn his paycheck now, even if he is on a minutes restriction

ESPN is so bad. Get the game started already.

The Celtics look like they could crush anyone right now. GS had been playing well. Dallas had been playing pretty well.

Beal looking much better without Book out there already, much more decisive and aggressive with the ball

Ball movement, less ISO. The same thing happened last time Book was out. Let's hope they stay with it. Nurk should get 20 boards tonight.

Rough day for me personally due to a friend's mom being in a severe car accident, but she's alive and should recover. Always hard when they're older, but I'm sure she'll be okay over time.
Wasn't expecting to make it for tipoff, but here I be. Good to see us off to a quick start. Hopefully we can sustain the momentum and get a win tonight seeing we blew our chance against a much easier team last night.

Point guards didn't shoot too well in this one. Harden 0-10, Conley 0-4.

Why is Nurkic shooting 3s? He's shooting 24% on the season.

If we could never play Eubanks again, that'd be great.
