The Suns list Royce O'Neale (right foot soreness) as questionable for tonight against the Pelicans. Dillon Brooks (left hand fracture), Mark Williams (left foot third metatarsal stress reaction) and Jordan Goodwin (left calf strain) remain out

Dillon Brooks' DUI is incredibly disappointing, not just because he's led the Suns' culture reset, but it's 2026. Ride shares are more available than ever, and you're a millionaire with team contacts who could easily coordinate a ride. That's just reckless, poor decision-making

I didn’t! I’m honestly kicking myself for not getting the 7/8/9 pack on the Switch 2 when I pre-ordered. May have to buy them separately digitally after the fact, if I make it through 9 without a heart attack lol

Definitely didn’t help, but he only played 12 minutes. Problems extended a lot further, especially on the perimeter. Weird malaise until the final 3-4 minutes, which you can’t do in this league

Final: CHI 105, PHX 103
Booker: 27 Pts, 6 Reb, 9-21 FG
Allen: 21 Pts, 8 Ast, 6-19 FG, 5-16 3P
Green: 12 Pts, 5-20 FG, 1-8 3P
Sexton: 30 Pts, 11-19 FG

Suns can't get the rebound off Nick Richards' final missed FT and the clock expires. Bad loss

I did. And had major reservations about his fit here, and still do. I’m also not going to dismiss a 24-year-old based on like 15 games lol

It was always gonna take Jalen Green time to adjust to a new role, on a new team, coming off injuries that held him out most of the season. It's just unfortunate this stretch of getting acclimated and shaking off rust coincides with the Suns desperately needing some O from him

Suns just getting outplayed by a hungrier Bulls team. Can't keep anyone in front of them, can't hit a 3 to save their lives (9-for-34), getting outran in transition at a critical juncture of the game...weird off night that's lasted since the 1st quarter

06.03.2026 04:04 πŸ‘ 10 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 2

End of 3Q: CHI 83, PHX 77
Booker: 22 Pts, 2 Stl, 7-16 FG
Allen: 18 Pts, 6 Ast, 4-10 3P
Ighodaro: 10 Pts, 7 Reb, 3 Ast, 5-5 FG
Sexton: 24 Pts, 10-16 FG

Bulls have scored 58 of their 83 points in the paint

Everyone’s focusing on Mark Williams’ absence with the points in the paint given up, and it’s definitely relevant, but the absence of Dillon Brooks and Jordan Goodwin illuminates how often their perimeter D is getting broken down, and how the effort/tenacity just kinda fell off

06.03.2026 03:38 πŸ‘ 23 πŸ” 4 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

Bulls points in the paint: 32
Suns total points: 29

End of 1Q: CHI 24, PHX 20
Booker: 6 Pts, 2-5 FG
Dunn: 4 Pts, 5 Reb, 2-2 FG
Fleming: 3 Pts, 1-1 3P
Sexton: 8 Pts, 4-6 FG

Bulls had as many points in the paint (20) as the Suns had total

"Just one of those starts" has bled into one of the rare games where the Suns' opponent looks like the harder-working group. Still plenty of time to course-correct, but Devin Booker's frustrated body language after that last blow-by and layup said it all about the effort so far

Kevin Ray has seen β€œThe Boom Room" Leaderboard and actually met the person behind it as well! He spoke with @geraldbourguet.bsky.social about how "bringing the boom" got started, Jalen Green, Rasheer Fleming and more!

The Suns announced Mark Williams has a stress fracture in his left foot and will be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks

Let’s hope Amy feels similarly when I ask her to do the same at age 34 πŸ˜‚

Resident Evil Requiem really is β€œpause every 30 seconds and collect yourself” levels of scary as a video game experience. I’m not built for this anymore lol

I mean Kristi Noem getting fired is funny and all, but she deserves a hell of a lot more than that. If there’s any justice in this world, these people all see actual consequences and punishment someday soon

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Eternity (2025) -The type of basic-but-high-quality, funny-but-sentimental romantic comedy they just don’t make very often anymore -Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner doing old-timey accents as young-loo...

Eternity’s unique premise and likable leads made it the type of romcom we just don’t get enough of anymore:

I feel like there’s an episode of Shrinking that we all know is probably coming at some point and I fear we are still unprepared for how emotionally shattering it will be when it happens
