Raja Ball in projected lineup card tonight

[Gaddabout]

D'Antoni said Raja might play tonight and he's now listed in the projected lineup card tonight. FYI

 

[elindholm]

Even if he can't move all that well, he should help the Suns with their sense of urgency.

He should also help cut back on Nash's minutes as well as House's. That can only help.

 

[Yuma]

I wonder if it's a Willis Reed thing. Where Reed only played a couple minutes, but it fired his team up to go on to win.

 

[Nasser22]

Could be Yuma. This is a surprise. Hopefully he's feeling good enough to get out there. If we win this game having him back might help us get the series.

Yuma - I usually think you're totally nutso, but I ws thinking the same thing. I just got a chill watching him out there in uniform.

He hits his first shot - the place will erupt and we win by 20.

This game HAS to be won on emotion - MUST WIN! MUST WIN!

I LOVE RAJA BELL!

 

[krispydude]

looks like hes bouncing around during the pre-game. hopefully he'll be healthy enough to play at game speed. i have some doubts though

I don't like to toot my own horn but....

I heard Raja will be back Tuesday.
post #25

I can't take credit for it though.

Update: Raja went back to the lockerroom to have his calf checked out one more time, but says he feels fine. Charles Barkley said he's watching him warmup and Raja has no explosion when going for him layups (although it's in warm-ups so take it for what it's worth). Charles is also already bagging on the crowd for not being loud enough 20 minutes before gametime.

Barkley used to have explosion in the pregame layup line, but that was from the burritos he'd eaten right before.

LOL

Raja hits his 1st 2 shots and got an "And 1", although I didn't think it was much of a foul on Harris.

 

[jbeecham]

BS foul call on Raja as Dirk shoves him off with the off arm.

 

[jbeecham]

lol Steve Kerr just said it's tough to come back and play conditioning-wise when you miss 5-6 games like Bell has.

ummm....Bell has missed only 2 games....

 

[Dallasjetfan]

Why does Bell always say that he has been disrespected?? Kobe and now the Mavs!! I think the Mavs respect him for what he is!!

 

[Nash]

The words were probably what he says were disrespectful. saying he was going to hurt his team's chances by playing today makes him feel disrespected.

IMO, he shouldn't be taking every comment so seriously and making comments publicly.

 

[jbeecham]

Bell was talking about the TNT broadcasters disrespecting him. They said he wouldn't be effective and he'd hurt his team more than he'd help them by playing.

 

[Dallasjetfan]

Oh!! I didn't get that!! Sorry!!

Kerr said days, not games.

My mistake, I heard games for some reason....time to get out the q-tips

:notworthy

Nice prediction Cheese!

 

[Gaddabout]

Raja Bell goes looking for things to be offended by. It's what motivates him these days, since he's become a multi-millionaire. Bell feeds off negative energy. He's like a 6-4 rat looking for a live wire.

 

[jbeecham]

Raja definately has an underdog "I've got to prove myself" attitude and it gives him a competitive edge to his game.
