I’m not really gonna blame the injury on AD it was a freak accident but once he comes back he needs to lead this team, especially because LeBron isn’t gonna be able to carry this team every single game

The real question once everyone is ok from injury(or as best possible) is how to get AD to be the focus on offense as best as can be.
Nobody is making it easy for AD from our side of things. I always feel AD has to overwork to make an attempt when he usually has the advantage on almost anyone he is against.
That team offense is horrible as of right now overall.

No Beal or Booker
Beal is probable.
I will be watching but I am already dreading the pounding we will take.
Ham will not come in with any sort of strategy and we will be down 15 after the first quarter.

excited. we just beat them at home, will be tough but like many here said Phx is overrated and will give up more than they score. plus vogel is their coach. A lot of guys here also thought was terrible with his offensive schemes.
The Suns were beating us almost wire to wire until they hit that 4th quarter cold streak in game 2. I don’t think KD will have another one of those cold streaks.

It was more defense. That game AD guard KD in the 4th quarter.
This is not a must win game. t's still early. It's a game that puts Ham on the watch list. It's time to coach what he has, injuries being a hurdle. He has to instill confidence in his relief players. Get the max from what he has. Win lose or draw max effort is a must. C'mon Darvin, I'm a believer.
The team has come out flat for like 7 of the 8 games this season already. Going down by dd then having to fight uphill rest of the way. Usually, after just one game like that the coach would make adjustments so it wouldn't happen again. What's Ham's excuse? Why is he getting such a long leash?
Well, I predicted a 1-3 road trip so this should be the win I guess? Let's go. We have a healthy AD and Bron. We used to own Phoenix. _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024
We know what to expect…down double digits by the end of the 1st quarter…never in the game with a wire to wire blow out loss. Watching to see if it turns out like expected or if the Lakers surprise us.
Not rooting with positive expectations anymore, watching to see what happens. Hope they do well. _________________ “When it looks as if it is a realistic possibility, I want to focus on winning a ship like it’s a goal that can’t be denied. I didn’t see that this off season.”

I lay some ownness at the feet of Ham. He has to make some adjustments. Enter Enstine's theory for insanity. C'mon Darvin I'm pulling for you. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Suns list Devin Booker (right calf strain) as out for tomorrow's game against the Lakers. Bradley Beal (low back spasms) is probable, and Jordan Goodwin (jaw contusion) is available. Damion Lee remains out

Frank Vogel said Bradley Beal will be available tonight for his second game of the season, and will be in a similar minutes range (he played 24 minutes at Chicago on Wednesday).
I'm not scared, this is still the same team that made the Western Conference finals. Let's get this W in a random game in November, it's a marathon guys, not a sprint
