This is going to be a good game tonight. This might be a true test against a good team in the West. If we win this one look for even more people to come out and say the Suns are for real. Plus this will be a good game to listen/watch.​

I agree. Hey Mike lets plan a day to go to a game. Sound good to you?

I'm supposed to work 'till 7:30pm tonight but told my boss I had to be home by 6:30pm to be sure I see the suns. I'm interested to see if Minn. is going to try to beat us down the court when we get defensive rebounds. If they do, look for the suns to get a +15 in rebounding. Hunter will get some minutes tonight, lets see if he can play more than 5min. I think Shawn holds Kevin to 13pts. 6rebs. (A guy can hope, right?)


My prediction..............

 

[MigratingOsprey]

I'm going ... should be a very fun game

 

[Quagmire]

I'm taking the under on the game.

The line is currently Suns by 4.5 and total points 211

We are due for a let-down. This game may be it. We'll see. If we face a zone all night, we could be in trouble.

we've done ok against the zone with nash and the pick'n'roll we'll get good looks. i think we will match up well against them. if they play zone marion will prob have a great night on the boards. which will only help us get our running game going.

 

[StatsAmare]

as far as the zone? I think we've got a good thing going. The last two zone attempts we've seen haven't lasted long because if the pick n roll doesn't stop it short, driving the baseline collapses the defense anyway. Thats what CJ and Barbosa did and the zone lasted under 4 minutes. Not worried about that anymore.

 

[StatsAmare]

Ok, Time To Predict Who Wins

my prediction.................

 

[scotsman13]

suns 107 to the puppies 98

 

[myrondizzo]

Suns 102 wolves 96

 

[SweetD]

Suns 97 Wolves 86

Q has another good game

Amare gets in foul trouble early but gets 21pts

Wally goes off late in the game to catch up.

Cassell gets beamed up to the mother ship and isn't even a factor in the game.

 

[Joe Mama]

Phoenix 101
Minnesota 97

The Suns have improved against the zone every game so far. Minnesota probably has the best zone we have seen so far so it should be a good test.
I don't think the 'Wolves are that much of a scoring threat. The danger is if the 'Wolves can slow the game down for 4 quarters.
I think the Suns will have a couple of scoring spurts and win convincingly.


Suns win 110 - 101


Suns in HD again tonight.

 

[sunsfn]

Amare always has good games against KG so I look for him to have a big game tonight.

Cassell gets beamed up to the mother ship and isn't even a factor in the game.

 

[arthurracoon]

Should be a fun game to watch/listen to!

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I agree. Hey Mike lets plan a day to go to a game. Sound good to you?

Yeah, we should...your wife like the Suns?

Is FoxSportsNet on DirectTV in HD?

[SweetD]

Yeah, we should...your wife like the Suns?

Mike

Yep! She is by my side every game or close to

 

[Chaz]

Is FoxSportsNet on DirectTV in HD?

Mike

FoxSportsNet I don't think has HD channels on DirecTV yet.
If it is not in the guide where the usual HD special event are I don't know. Probably have to call DirecTV and at least complain a little if they don't.

It is on Cox cable channel 722. It is probably only a matter of time before DirecTV picks it up.

 

[mribnik]

2 minutes to gametime and I'm the only one in the chat! certainly some of you aren't going to the game, or are you? come join!

Our worst nightmare, a playoff pace. The rebounding problem biting us in the first half. The Suns were content to shoot from the outside. Minnestoa's zone is very active and very physical.

Sam Cassell made huge shots and we got no breaks down the stretch, but still they were right there with them.

Maybe if they had Hunter's contribution in the first half. We couldn't run because we couldn't secure the ball. Amare was completely dominated on the glass in the first half.

Give credit to the Timberwolves, there was a big hype to this game with the Suns streak. They showed their poise and played very well.

Time to start a new winning streak.

Maybe it's me, but it seems like every time the Suns stop somebody in the low block a foul is called while Amare gets pushed and shoved constantly and nothing. The Wolves are a good team, but if the refs let the Wolves abuse Amare the Suns haven't a prayer. (Amare had 7 foul shots but should have had at least a half dozen more).

In any case, the Suns have proven they can't shoot well enough to beat a solid matchup zone that contests shots. In this kind of game, the Suns needed defense and rebounds more than having another shooting threat on the floor, which is why I was so disappointed that Hunter did not play more.
