8-0 run by the Bucks after Gentry took out Price for Telfair...

Price was doing well but Gentry has to make one of his idiotic substitutions.

Telfair needs the playing time... if he can play he needs to prove it. I thought he might be able to play a little PG. It's a good thing the Suns picked up Price. The Suns need another PG in a bad way. Still missing Dowdell.

Two straight blow-outs against teams on the tail-end of a back-to-back. The Suns rediscovered their shooting ability. Rebounding still needs a bit work. Now a much bigger test coming up Tuesday at Lakers.

Frye and Morris combined for 7 for 8 from 3-point line. Nash with 17 assists in 27 minutes.

O ok my man.

No I actually like Price as the backup PG. He's definitely no future PG but he's a more than capable backup, plays gritty defense and plays hard all the time. Plus the offense seems more stable when he's out on the floor.

Real test is on Tuesday against LA.


But after seeing how we've rebounded the past 3 games, I fear to think what Bynum and Gasol will do to us.

I thought that too, when I checked the Lakers latest box score.

Player..........Rebounds..........Points

Barnes..............10.................15
Gasol................15.................13
Bynum..............15.................15

Our record is deceiving..

we beat..

@New Orleans without Eric Gordon
Golden State at home without David Lee
Portland at home when they were on the 2nd of back to back road games
Milwaukee at home without Andrew Bogut

Portland is the only quality team we beat the other 3 wins came against bad teams that twice missed their best player and you could argue David Lee is the best player on the Warriors too.

Who is it deceiving? We've had a very easy schedule so far and on top of that we've faced some short-handed teams. But guess what, that happens to teams every year and this year it will happen even more often than usual. Add in the fact that two of our best (Nash and Gortat) have been playing injured and it's not like we don't have an excuse of our own. We've been lucky but I don't see anyone predicting a championship or anything. We're a mediocre team and our play continues to support that description.

It's better that they had an easier schedule, those wins are good morale boosters. The suns right now are a mediocre team, so beating another mediocre team is a good thing. I suppose this team is not tanking while nash is on it, so might aswell start cheering for them for the off-chance of getting into the playoffs as the 8th seed.

I agree. I'm not in control of Management so I'll just do what I do best, I'll cheer for my team. Dear Suns - I have been and always shall be your fan!

Yea and if Frye continues to start over Morris, then you expect those same kind of results from the Laker players against the Suns.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Channing averaging more rebounds in slightly fewer minutes than Morris? Regardless, we're probably going to lose the rebound contest with the Lakers no matter who we start.
