I am pretty confident the Suns can get a W tomorrow against Portland. I am scared for Saturday though against Utah. They are impossible to beat at home.

Dallas gets 2 tough games coming up. vs Denver and at Cleveland. I can see them dropping both games, but for sure one (Cleveland).

If for some way we go 3-0 are next 3 then we are making the playoffs. We can only afford 1 loss from now and Sunday.

I am not really hopeful about tomorrows game, being a back to back, but if they can pull it off again tomorrow, it will boost their confidence enough to surprise the Jazz at home.

portland lost a tough one to phil in ot, they got two days off.
we get no rest.

if our bench can step up for the 3rd time in a row and we limit our turnovers, we have a chance.

dont forget dragic. he wasnt spectacular. but held his own, and gave some rest to nash.
he made some 3's, and a couple of layups.

and hill's clutch fade away put us in the lead for good.

Yes, IT IS A GREAT TEAM EFFORT. Everyone played hard and well.

Just notice this, technically, we might even catch the Jazz in playoff race. They are only 4 games ahead of us. They also have a tough schedule left, after playing us in home soon, they got to play 6 playoff teams, Portland, Denver, New Orleans, Dallas, San Antonio, LA Lakers, all away games visiting top teams, ALL AWAY games, and 4 back-to-back sets, including 4 games in last 4 days. It is quite possible for them to lose 3.

If we could somehow win at Utah in Saturday, our playoff hope will increase significantly.

Dragic is going to be a player.

I am very excited about him after watching him closely this game and this past stretch. His intelligence and game is very nuanced. In a couple years he will be a top player at his position. Mark it down.

Against Portland, we need our bench to play even more. Dragic, Swift, even Tucker. Our bench's defense can definitely frustrate the young Blazers. And then the starters can come back well rested for the last 6 min of the game to finish off them!

Oh, forgot to mention, Hill had another sick, flying dunk on Nash's feed. hope he stays healthy. last year, DA ran him into ground with short rotation. now we play our bench long, he could rest a lot more when needed

Sitting next to him at a basketball game might be a little awkward at this point.

That reminds me of a macabre joke about the granny, "better over the hill than under the hill". ;)
