This will be a battle between two teams that have a tough time playing defense. Teams can seemingly light the Suns up at will from three point range not to mention the Suns are last in the league giving up fast break points.

From the ESPN preview of the game:

Phoenix (13-29) ranks 29th in the league, giving up an average of 111.8 points a night. The Knicks (19-25) are 25th, allowing 108.3 points a game.

If New York wants to exploit the Phoenix defense, it may want to consider getting out quickly in transition or launching long distance jumpers. The Suns surrender a league-worst 16.5 fast-break points and are next-to-last in opponent's 3-point percentage (38.7).

In a 118-103 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, Phoenix gave up 19 3-pointers.

The game is slated to start at 5:30p.m. Arizona time.

Neither team can guard the 3 point shot.

Haha. I doubt even me talking about him will get him going.
I wish Cotton was here coaching this team. Len would have been his #1 whipping boy, along with Knight.

You underestimate yourself. Len now has 4 points and 4 rebounds.

I really miss Cotton.
