    No way lol

    It’ll be fun though to watch and develop players. The draft will be the stressful part. Hopefully we find a star

    the Suns have won 5 in a row and are sure to remember that 30 point beatdown by Portland 3 weeks ago. Might be a major challenge for Portland to even stay in the game.

    Dame was grimacing again. At some point, he just needs to rest.

    It would have been a tough one regardless of the back to back

    first road win could be totally unexpected one, like this one for example

    b2b, very good team, it makes total sense

    So at what point do they say Lillard is injured and needs to either rest or completely shut him down?
    Does anyone really think he will be 100% for this game? How many starters across the league have we already seen take scheduled "Rest" days?
    We went through this with Batum as well. Year after year watching him play all summer and never healing from nagging injuries he would try to play through for the entire season.

    Seriously speaking. Having Damian Lillard on the court right now is not helping this team win games. 1 month out might fix this? If not? Have him go get the surgery he needs to repair the injury.

    This game is essentially a “Schedule Loss” so why not just give the second and third units a bunch of burn?
    Make it a nice practice.

    Its so stupid the NBA has back to backs. Players shouldn't be up until 3am traveling ever. Travel days should never be squeezed in at night after a game day.

    The NBA should look at the NFL vs ML as an example, 16 important games and way more revenue than the NBA. MLB has 162 games and nobody cares.

    If every regular season game had teams at full strength the quality of play would be so much higher, games would matter much more, the product would improve, we'd eliminate players taking off time for rest, and the league would eventually have much more revenue.

    Instead we have a regular season where teams have major scheduling advantages/disadvantages, as well as a single game not significantly impacing the season.

    Yikes. Told you guys Dame absolute peak value was this past summer. When we inevitably rebuild soon we’re going to regret the summer of 2021

    Aha, unlocked. At last I can nitpick Chris again. We have not played Houston yet so we could not have a victory over them in our past record. (Hey, at least you know I am really reading your stuff!)

    do you actually get enjoyment from your incessant trolling and monotonous anti-Dame bullshit? Post after post after post of the same tried garbage like some deranged parrot with insomnia cranked up on a meth suppository. Do you really think anybody likes that shit? It's irritating pollution, like plastic in the ocean or dog shit on the carpet or broccoli on pizza

    I get that we all will return to out favorite narratives occasionally, I know I do at least, but for fucksakes you never give it a DAY OF FUCKING REST.

    This ain't gonna be pretty. Second night of a b2b against a rested Suns team (tables turned in contrast to the last time we faced them) after Dame played near 40 mins last night.

    The way we ended the game last night was brutal with so many missed rotations on D and shaky execution on O. Think that will carry over.

    I would generally agree, but I think Dame needs more reps and has to get into a better rhythm.
