I think it's time we started protecting Bledsoe and Dragic but I think you have to leave both of them in as starters unless Eric (or Goran) is amenable to being shut down for the season. I'd love to see a starting lineup of Bledsoe, Dragic, Morri and Len just to see how it works but I'm not too sure it wouldn't be our best lineup. Anyway, it's time to play the younger players more and it's especially time to rest Dragic.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Goran, Bledsoe, Tucker, McMo, MkMo starting line up for a few games to see what happens, but losing the Morri from the bench kills our bench.

Probably but it seems like a good time to test the waters with them and there is always the chance that getting them more minutes will make us better. If Jeff is willing to commit to them as starters for the rest of the season we could go into the draft and free agency with a more complete understanding of our needs.

I think both of the brothers believe they are starter quality so we might as well take a look at it. It would be interesting to see how they do playing most of their minutes against other starters and facing defenses that actually wasted a few minutes preparing for them. My guess, Keef can play at that level and Marcus can't but they've both shown glimpses so who knows.

Not really suns 3 games behind Dallas who has like a 8 game home stand or something like that.
Technically 2 games behind Memphis but in reality it's 3 games since suns didn't win the tiebreaker. (Memphis will beat Utah)

Memphis is a WCF team... That had a injury to teams best player earlier in the yr.
It's very slim realistically. You know it's not looking good when your Head coach isn't confident on the postseason

What did Hornacek say?

I just came back from NYC today (amazing city, had the time of my life, should have stayed more than 4 nights, will def. go back very soon). Anyway, I was at the Nets-game and had really great seats. Was so close getting a pic with dragic but the little kids around me beat me to it. My observations:

- Dragic getting his 2nd foul early in the first killed us
- Nets won every 50/50 ball and every single bounce went their way
- Nets couldn't miss even though we did a decent jump contested some of them
- Green missing the alleyoop felt like a huge momentumchanger

Notes on attending the game
- Beautiful arena
- The game moves 1000 times faster when you watch the game live (and have seats close to the floor)
- Green has mad hops and supersweet jumper (barely missed in the pregame warmups)
- Nets has a very tall starting lineup
- Dwill's crossover is breathtaking
- NBA players are insanely skilled and athletic (absolutely ridiculous how good they handle the ball)

Thanks for sharing these cool pictures - my wife and I want to attend a Suns game in the near future.
Sitting in the arena or watching on TV - not even close, it's just not comparable. Those pics make me wanna fly to the states and spend a fortune on entertainment/sports :D
Prediction for this season: Spurs beat Heat 4:2 in the finals (the revenge of Pop)
I don't like it, but it is highly possible this season with IND and OKC struggling

I wish I would have brought my camera to the Philly game I went to this season. I was basically in the same seats just on the Suns bench side.
