Good game guys. Suns played well for 3 quarters but Lakers were too good in that final quarter. With the way you guys were scoring I figured D'antoni was coaching the Lakers tonight. hehe

I didn't like tonight's game. I'm optimistic about the D'Antonio hiring, but, something about this game didn't look right. Maybe it's just that I enjoy watching great defence more than great offense.

I agree with you. Hopefully we can get that working. Apparently the Lakers are in the hunt for Smith. Another defensive player.

We're 6th on offense and 6th on defense in the league statistic wise

We can do better than that but it's not that bad

Our defense will improve once Dwight if Dwight's back completely heals..

He's still looks to me to be a step slow and missing some of his vertical.

If that stat is true, we can't base opinions on stat's alone. Our schedule has been pretty easy so far. I'm glad we got a win but we are suppose to beat a team like Phoenix by 50 points.

I'm not sure how we are going to keep running. I guess the biggest scare is whether the Lakers can consistently get back on defense or not.

and unfortunately lakers are listed as the 21st most difficult schedule so far, so pretty damn easy.

Good win last night, nice to see a solid game from Pau. Morris and Meeks chipped in nicely too.
Ball so hard.
