That pic is kinda dark looks a bit like Damion Lee. Btw, he’s still injured Saber. Dang! We have nobody who can contain Siakam just for one game?

The Siakam acquisition makes them a lot more dangerous and Durant will have his hands full on the defensive end. The Pacers have been hot and look much improved in general, so this should be a tough matchup.

Hopefully we can extend our streak and energy. We need as many wins as we can get if we're going to have any hope of advancing in the standings.

They may take some adjustment time though. I think they may miss Bruce Brown some, at least at first. They lost to Portland Friday.

Plus it might be the annual Booker "get me into the ASG" push... Happens like clockwork, so I wouldn't be surprised by another very high scoring game... 40 piece or something

Yeah, especially since Turner would probably guard KD...or maybe some of Siakam. Will be fun to see Haliburton...I like their team...all their starters and then bench of Mathurin, Toppin and Smith is getting more interesting.

Pacers were clearly not focused facing the Blazers the other night. Hopefully we can get a dub, we need some hot shooting. Need to face guard Haliburton and do not go under on screens.

This is gonna be a tough game to win. Indiana is one of the very best teams in the league especially with Siakam now. Their offense is lethal and Suns currently have one of the worst defenses in the league.

Realistically, just hoping we come out of this with no injuries. And since it’s a home game, hopefully not a blowout for fans who paid to go watch this. Loss here wouldn’t be that concerning all things considered, and a win would be a pleasant surprise. But really, just hope they come out with no injuries.

Going to be at this one. Random prediction but I think Beal goes off.

CALLS WHERE THERE IZ ZERO CONTACT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENED....

theres a huge problem with refs making up what they see in their head....There should never be a whistle unless the ref 100% knows what happened....

Like it doesnt even make sense....

Sucks Haliburton is out. Was looking forward to watching him...I'm sure he makes them a lot more fun to watch.

Team needs to get serious about rebounding and defense. They might win these games without that now but not in the playoffs.

Jalen Smith looking good. He seems more like a practical big than Ayton is.

What a pass by Josh Allen for a TD and lead.
