I think they play Anthony tonight and rest him tomorrow when they play at GSW - take the almost certain win and give him 3 days rest to go against the Clips.

If the Pelicans rest Anthony Davis it gives the Suns their best chance to win which is admittedly slim.

However, if I were the Pelicans coach and Davis can play, I would play him tonight and get the sure win. Beating GS under the best circumstances is hard to do.

It looks like Anthony Davis is out tonight.

Monty Williams said Anthony Davis is out for #SunsVsPelicans tonight after spraining his left ankle at today's shootaround.

The Suns look like they are wearing primer gray uniforms. Whatever happened to the home team wearing white?

Suns really goin' old school tonight with the Confederate uniforms.

Maybe the Suns are considering seceding from the NBA and forming their own league.

 

[Mainstreet]

I was thinking how cool the Suns would look in gray caps.

Great to see Warren and Goodwin in the game together in the 1st quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Thornton is sitting out the game with an injury so the Suns have this going for them.

Did I just see granger on the bench next to Thornton? I didn't even know he reported to the team.

Probably. The Suns have talked about giving him a look this season although nothing certain.

I admit I have only been able to watch one game recently and that was the Atlanta game. I only got to watch that one because I had tix, so I feel like I am behind.

The real delight for me is seeing the Suns giving Goodwin and Warren important minutes so that they can develop.

I really like Warren. I hope he continues to get consistent minutes. Archie has been really aggressive tonight. I like he way he is attacking.

Both look to be good. Since Archie is getting more minutes he is starting to look like a star in the making.

I like Warren too... But if I had to point out one area of weakness, it's his complete lack of a jump shot. Hoping he develops one over time...

 

[Mainstreet]

It's a bit irritating to me about the Suns announcers feeling sorry for the Pelicans injuries.

Good observation.

 

[82CardsGrad]

This has officially become one of the ugliest, poorly played games I've seen in a very long time... Wow...

 

[Rab]

And the Morrii wonder why the crowds are quiet. This is ugly.

Hope the Suns pull this out. AD not playing is a gift especially considering this is one of the teams we're chasing.

It's an ugly game but that is why the Suns are in it. The Pelicans keep bringing in big players. I liked Withey's future as a backup center in college.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hornacek should tell Bledsoe it's alright to pass the ball once in awhile besides driving it towards the basket and then passing.

It's an ugly game because we have no real shooters on this team (maybe Knight will be that guy). And no offensive flow whatsoever... It's all Bledsoe barreling down the lane, totally out of control and then crashing to the floor...coming away with no points...
Wright has played very well. Archie played well. PJ has played well too... The rest of the team has sucked.

He hasn't told him that in almost two years. He's not about to start now.
