Can the Suns win four in a row against a team that has a 12 game losing streak but just missed getting a win against the Lakers on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

We need to win tonight to keep alive our dream of a 67 win season.

Al's wife passed away today according to the pre-game show. RIP Mrs McCoy.

I'm so sorry to hear this. This has to be a huge loss for Al. He will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Good job by Scola getting Gortat off the snide. Perfect pass, in stride for a layup. Maybe it will make him forget his earlier misses.

Gentry needs to be talking to these refs about moving screens. Biyombo has no idea how to get set, he's moving every time.

Scola spotting up for a three? I can't say I like the idea of another big guy on this team thinking he's a three point shooter.

The Suns are giving up easy penetration to the basket. I wonder, where is the defense. Maybe it will have to come from Telfair and Tucker off the bench.

I dislike when Scola starts shooting shots outside his range.

 

[Mainstreet]

When Dragic gets out front on the fast break, no one is going to catch him. He is deceptively quick/ fast.

I dislike when Scola starts shooting shots outside his range.

I think his range extends to about 12 feet (and that's pushing it), he seems to think it's much further out than that since he typically sets up around the 14 to 16 foot mark.

Yeah, he has Jason Kidd type speed. He doesn't look like a Leandro out there but he is among the fastest with his first few strides.

"They seem to be gelling nicely... ... ... FOR THE HOLIDAYS!"... Albert is weird. I dont dislike quite like some of you, but he certainly is strange.

But speaking of things I do dislike; that whistling song that they play frequently when the Suns are bringing the ball up court. It really really irritates me, to an irrational extent. It does not evoke a feeling of basketball prowess. It more makes me think of someone who doesnt give a s---.

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope the Suns don't let Mullens go on a 3 point shooting spree like in a previous Suns game.

He sounds like a Noob is what he is. It is amazing how many blunders he makes. Maybe he needs new eyeglasses or some sort of re-orientation or something

I love Al. I cherish the moments when I get to hear him while driving. If there was an easy way to sync my TV with the radio broadcast (and keep it that way) I'd do it in a heart beat.

 

[AzStevenCal]

We need to put this team away right now, before they find the energy to compete. If we let them hang around, they'll forget how tired they are.

All I can do is try to laugh while watching Beasley... its that or cry. He is an embarrassment.

A few plays back anyone see O'Neal lay into him after butchering that rotation and forcing O'Neal to take a foul? I have never seen a player come of as lazy and stupid as he does.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Telfair is so good with that bailout 3.

Steve

 

[AzStevenCal]

If that offensive foul is on Gortat, I just don't see it.

Steve

 

[Mainstreet]

Telfair is so good with that bailout 3.

Steve

He has proven to be a solid backup PG, seemingly getting better and better... playing offense and defense.

Tucker is so rock solid scoring underneath the basket.

I hope we keep this guy around. He may not have a true position but he's the kind of player I love to watch.

I feel the same. Without looking it up I think the Suns have a team option on him next season. He has learned to put a body into a defender when putting the ball up inside.

Wow, Beasley just dropped a 3, hit a jumper, and put a +/- 14 in your face Phrazbit. I think he's laughing at you.

He'll be around for the foreseeable future. The Suns signed him to a 3 year deal and each year is unguaranteed, fantastic value signing by the Suns.
