Mavericks by 15 in double OT…..

 

[Mainstreet]

Even with all the injuries, the Mavericks will be hard-pressed to lose to the Suns.

Must win for Suns

 

[leclerc]

Must win. Play Gillespie!

 

[BirdGangThing]

doesn't matter who's out - we play to or below the talent we face - and then fold at the end

 

[Superbone]

If we lose this one, it's time to give up the ghost and play our developmental players from here on out.

The Suns are favored over Dallas by 74.7 % in the ESPN Matchup Predictor. Have they been watching the Suns?

It might be for the best. No use dragging the season out on false hope. Losing to a depleted Dallas team may be just what the doctor ordered.

The Suns front office should be rightfully embarrassed for being 5 games under .500.

Let them bask in it.

Here are the Suns starters.

They've also been watching the Mavs, who are missing 4 of their 5 starters. Hard to ignore that. Doesn't mean we won't blow it, but looking at the roster situation for both teams, this pregame prediction is pretty much a no-brainer, no matter how much you don't like the Suns lineup. The fact that Dallas has a 25% chance of winning is much more telling than you make it out to be.

There's a lot about Jason Kidd that I don't care for but I think he's easily one of the best tacticians in the game.
