    The question was whether the Suns would try hard to win tonight. I was just saying that when you get the chance to kick the Lakers out of the playoffs and avoid AD and LBJ even potentially being a factor, you do it.

    They just said on the Pelicans game that Zion has been cleared for 5 on 5.

    Do we know if that's 5 on 5 practice or full game participation?

    If it's practice then he's still a few days away and should be on a minutes restriction if he does even come back in time. Remember, this is the last week of the regular season lol.

    So chill. When the trade was made Zion was in Portland and no one knew what the hell was going on with him.

    It could just as easily fuck up their current chemistry. (Short term that is)

    I will chill when the pick conveys and I will not be chill towards Joe if the pick doesn't.

    Since he was just cleared for one on one practice three days ago I would think that it's just practice for now.

    Kings really kinged up the end of this third quarter.

    Suns were trying for franchise record 63rd win. I think Chris Paul was a part of franchise records for Houston and LAC too. Incredible. And I doubt the Suns fear the Lakers at all. Not with Westbrook running the show.

    It would almost be a crime to put Zion at risk when the Pels have zero chance making it past the first round. Not worth it. Make it look good but don't let him play.

    If they make it through the PIT, I guarantee you CJ-Ingram-Zion will scare the hell out of Suns fans.

    Offensively, yes. But that is a horrible defensive lineup. Basically Herb Jones is the lone defender. Suns will sweep them.

    Damn, if you bet on the Clippers -7 on the Suns. You probably celebrating early when they’re up by 39 points
