I think we look pretty rusty right now. Hopefully Barbs can get healthy soon so we can have a little bit of time with everyone healthy before real games start next week.

A couple fumbles by amare but that is to be expected his first day back. Denver is playing really good D for a preseason game, we can't seem to get hill going.

And damn, strawberry is going to be great 1-2 years down the road. He brings good intensity and focus but isn't overbearing like banks is sometimes.

Marks keeps shooting from way too far out, I would rather play skinner if that is what he is going to do, although hill was doing this a few times too.

It is great seeing kenyon martin come back strong.

The Suns seem a step slow, small upfront and porous there as well. Lack of size and defense will be a problem this year, so I guess what else is new?

Amare definitely needs to knock off the rust, but even out of shape, he looks like he'll be perfectly fine by the second week of the season. Guy's just got so much natural talent it's almost disgusting.

Once Barbs comes back, this team will be the most fun team to watch since Showtime.

Ouch rookie mistake by tucker there.

Gotta keep going since nash will get you the ball.

Down by I think 12 and now up by 10 in just one quarter, without barbosa. This team will be one of, it not the most, explosive teams ever.

*and I like skinner in the middle there, he is really doing some good work and pulling down some solid boards that the team wasn't doing when he wasn't in there.

Let me be the first to say I love our two new rookies, they have great instincts. That dead-stop and layup to draw the and one by tucker was something I would not expect from a rookie.

i was impressed by that too. normally a young guy would go up and try and take the contact as he shoots but alando had the presence of mind to pump and then get hit and finish. great block by hill to start that play too

Awesome block by skinner, looks like he tweaked his ankle though. Right now I would rather have skinner over marks hands down since he operates on the inside very well.

i do like the youngin's potential out there. they might be able to contribute here and there this season, but I think we'll see them as regulars come next year and along with that pick, that's very good news for the future of the franchise.

Man I was just literally, LITERALLY laughing uncontrollably after that shot.

That was the greatest preseason moment in history.

Suns win 116-113 thanks to a clutch 3 by D.J Strawberry :) this is going to have a good future in a suns uniform. Also I think Amare played pretty well still has stuff to work on but now bad at all for not playing for a while, and Hill is also fun to watch he had 17 pts
