Since I've gone negative on this team's chances of getting past the WCF (and even getting that far seems like a stretch at this point), I think Ant being out for a while is a good thing. That's a ton of usage that can be re-assigned to other players, which will help the front office continue to assess its options this offseason and value their assets. I suspect we'll be seeing TJ enter the rotation again.

With Brooks and Allen out, should be very winnable. Brooks is really Phoenix best player on both sides of the court. It's a must win game, if you win you take a 3 game lead on Phoenix above the play in, if you lose you are down to a one game lead and Phoenix has the tie breaker.

Ayo starting for Ant.

Very underwhelming start.

Bouncing back and forth between this and the WBC...was hoping this would be a blowout so I could focus on baseball.

Bones giving our offense a boost out there, but Phoenix looks like a well-oiled machine. We can't stop them.

Thank God for Bones. When we're in a game though because of him. it just doesn't feel sustainable to me.

Wish I could disagree
Needing a boomlet from Bones to get within 3 doesn't inspire me with a lot of confidence.

Really want to see Jaden bounce back here, his shot as really flattened out lately. I still have a ton of confidence in him tho

Our bench is 8 for 10.

Jaden, Naz, Julius....core guys that have just been kinda flat for a while now.
