I am hoping that Beal and Wall have a horrible shooting night tonight.

 

[Ronin]

I am not sure if it is a good thing, but Markieff Morris is out tonight against the Suns.

Nice to have an early game. Could have some tired legs today.

 

[BC867]

Suns are off to a 17-10 deficit.

 

[SweetD]

You can tell Mike James is dragging already.

 

[SweetD]

Sun's need to start playing through the post if they want to have a chance in this game.

 

[BC867]

You can tell Mike James is dragging already.

Yup, the Suns are a tired team, even with the substitutions. Part of the rigors of the NBA.

If we lose, I wouldn't call it a setback.

 

[SweetD]

End of first 15 - 32. Not looking good. Might have an early exit by the starters and bench play out the 2nd half to close out the blowout.

Hoping for a better 2nd

 

[BC867]

Wow! Down by only 11 with 5:33 left in the 2nd quarter. This team is such a pleasant turnaround.

Well, guys, I'm switching over the final World Series game. Get us a win, OK?

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need more scoring tonight tired legs or not.

James is having an off night thus far.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have not improved at center since Gortat was traded.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Wizards 64- Suns 52

The Suns are still in the game.

James isn't a point guard. He really is a ball hog. He shouldn't be starting.

The thought crossed my mind the Suns are starting James because they want to keep him.

I agree, James is more of a scorer than a PG. I'm more of a Ulis fan.

 

[SweetD]

Great start to third!!!

 

[SweetD]

Lead cut to five just like that Warren leading the way.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Good turnaround by suns to make it a gm warren and Booker both with strong efforts!

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not a fan of Chriss shooting 3s.

 

[Mainstreet]

Warren is the man.

 

[SweetD]

This would be a good game for Booker/Jackson/Warren/Chriss/Len lineup

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe that 3 will get James going.

 

[Mainstreet]

Warren seems to be coming of age this season. I'm glad the Suns have him signed to a new contract.

 

[Mainstreet]

Another player to compare Warren too, George Gervin.

He really is playing well.
