SEASON OPENER- Suns @ Lakers Offical Game Thread

[Nasser22]

Today I did a couple big jumps while hollering: "Suns! Suns!! SUNS!!!".

Thank god I was alone in the basement because I am sure I looked like a complete idiot.

Gotta let some bottled up energy out ya know, I am not alone here right guys?

Guys?.....

You are not alone. I am extremely excited!

Nope. You're right, you don't look like a complete idiot. Raving psychotic? Well, the jury's still out on that one...

I'm sure I'll find myself in the chat come game time.

 

[WuRaider]

Anyone know the latest status on Kobe and Shawn? I don't want to burn cash on tix if either of those two aren't playing.

 

[fordronken]

Marion is playing. Kobe is a game time decision, but I'd be really surprised if he didn't play.

 

[Chaz]

WhooHooo!!

GAME DAY!

Shawn plays

Shawn Marion's back remained tight Monday, but he practiced fully, and his availability for tonight is not in doubt.

"I'm playing regardless; you know how I am," said Marion, who needs 12 points to become the Suns' fifth 10,000-point scorer.

There was no way he would miss the opener at Staples.

"I love that stuff," he said. "I just love rowdy fans."

Almost as important is that Leo "may see some action" due to his toe injury. This is unfortunate as it makes Banks play more. I was hoping he could ease his way into the system.

i'd be in chat but i have to go to mutt's here in newport with my co-worker who has to vehemently cheer FOR the suns, despite be a huge lakers fan, as a result of a bet based on last year's first round playoff result! i can't wait.

 

[LakeShowMan]

Well it looks like the Lakers may be without Kobe tonight. On his website he pretty much said he is not ready to play: http://truth.kb24.com/#18

Hopefully my boys can step up and give the Suns a game tonight.

sorry couldn't help laughing after seeing that url.

second that - except I'll be up on Sunset after a Ralph Steadman book signing with two of my best friends who have to wear Raja and Nash shirts as a result of a smiliar playoff bet. Love it baby! Bring on the season!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSS!!!!!!

 

[hawaiiansun]

Jeez I wish they would start the boring heat vs bulls game so our game won't be delayed or we miss any of the game, ugh!!!

If TNT is doing the game, chances are we are going to miss at least the first-half of the first quarter of the Suns game.

 

[Nash]

Will these Heat guys cut the crap and start the game already?

Couldnt have said it better myself

Why? It is probably better that he gets as much time as possible as early as possible.

No kidding, I am amazed at how many heat players can score from anywhere on the court. Most of them will barely get to play let alone get the ball this year.

I was laughing at Earl Barron the power force inside, Jason Kapono the sharpshooter, Dorell Wright the highlight reel hahah oh man.

exactly, when he said a "power inside blah blah" I was wondering how they were starting with Shaq or Zo and it ends up being Earl - poor chap, even he walked out with a sheepish look on his face.
