This is a good game try to get everything back in order and ready for the Spurs game on Friday. This will be a big home crowed and I expect the Suns to come out with alot more energy then they did on the road trip. I will miss most of the game tonight but I am sure we can pull out a win.​

If you can't see the game in person join us on the live chat during every game.​

i have a bad feeling about this game. we don't match up with their bigs very well and if we're not out and running they can take advantage of that disparity.

even if little stevie nash comes back tonight (which i highly doubt), i think we're gonna see another L. ugh - 5 in a row (and likely 6 w/ the spurs looming).

If Nash plays we win, if not we still have a chance, always have a chance. It is home and we will play hard for this one.

Maybe Smush will help us win the game!

I think we'll win this one... but not by much.

I don't know anything about the two new players so hopefully they can create something for this team.

Hell, as long as they can do better than 2 assists in 88mins, then they should be good. lol

Should be a lousy game to watch/listen to :thumbup: seiously I think we are more then capable of winning tonight,with or without Nash.

I hope you guys are right, but I think we are going to get creamed again. Even the teams with average records that the Phoenix Suns are facing right now are playing great basketball. Detroit, Washington, Memphis, and even the Pacers have all been playing much, much better than earlier in the season. Even Utah beat San Antonio right before the Suns.

Memphis 111
Phoenix 97

The latest line is Suns by 2.5 and over/under 196

I guess I am a little more optimistic that some others on here.


Suns need to get back to playing defense and boxing out. If they are not allowing second shots they should be OK. Defense feeds the offense for the Suns. The best way to get the running game started is to force turnovers and rebound missed shots.

Honestly, if we lose tonight, I SERIOUSLY think this team needs a big help.

I guess I'll be fine with a close loss...but if we get blown out, I'll be REALLY pissed.

We should win this one after those 4 ugly losses.

I hope we win this one. I'm optimistic for the first time in a while probably because I feel reassured that JJ is playing point. Two things will work for us:

1. I can tell that the players and coach like to brag about having the best record in the league. If we lose this one they can't use that excuse anymore. I think they are too proud of holding that title to let it slip away. The Spurs are only a game ahead of us and if we lose this one and lose to the Spurs we fall behind them. Not the biggest deal in the world because it's only the midway point but I'm sure the players enjoy the top spot as much as we the fans do.

2. NO ORANGE UNI'S TONIGHT. YES!!!

Haven't you seen that commercial? Amare's really good at boxing out when he's playing by himself.

Yea, now he just needs to work on that whole against other players thing. :)

I don't know man, unless Q lights it up from the outside and Amare kicks ass in the paint, the Suns are going to get killed.

The game is going at Fratello pace, crawling. The way we are playing and Memphis is hanging around, there is a danger of losing this one.

Another sad defeat. Amare was all but useless, Marion JJ and Q couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, this team still refuses to move without the ball (this was going on even with Nash playing), couldn't take care of the ball, couldn't rebound or box out, and generally couldn't get out of their own way.

There were only 2 things that may be positives from this game ... Jake's play and hustle as well as we may have found a backup PG in Smush Parker (showed some potential and seemed to fit with our style of offense).

This team needs to get its crap together with or without Nash. Otherwise this team will go into a complete nosedive
