I'm not sure what makes you think a 12-17 team who has played the 17th hardest schedule should "easily" beat an 11-14 team who has played the 3rd toughest. Especially with a rookie and 2nd year guy starting.

But then again, you thought we should "easily" beat the Bulls too. As ChrisInAZ said then though, maybe you are just table setting for a rant later if we lose.

You should probably read my post completely before responding or else don't respond. I said if they're trying to be a playoff team.

And yes, Utah without their best player isn't some power house team. If Suns wanna make playoffs in the West, then yes they should be able to beat teams like the Jazz. Other playoff teams in the West also should be able to beat a Gobert less Jazz team pretty damn easily and guess what, most or all of them have.

What the Jazz announcer said: We don't have a post game. Pretty much sums it up.

Tyson Chandler is getting disgusted with this team. You can tell by his body language.

Well that's the problem with starting Booker and Warren. Good offense, but no defense. And they've rarely had to go against starters. Hayward will probably have a field day against Warren. But this is what most of us wanted at this point. Get out of the middle of the pack and give the young guys more time or start them.

Wow. Bledsoe showing some emotion with the Technical foul.

Apparently Suns think so too.

Bring in Len and feed him the ball down low. See if he can get something going in the paint.

Nice move Kieff to the basket score.

But we are at the VERY best a potential 8th seed. We are not definitively better than anyone but about 3 teams. I mean this is fact, so I don't know how you think we should easily beat anyone, especially one of the tougher places to play on the road.

I am not sure why you think we are full of playoff level talent, especially with one of our best players disgruntled and killing us.

I think it's absolutely moronic to make a major lineup change the night of a huge game. This should've been done earlier in the year if it's going to be done. Also, while Knight has struggled of late, with how he's performed on the year, benching him is nonsense. I like Booker as much as anyone, but Knight's our 2nd best player.

Defense has been terrible. We will get back it in. Love how Tucker has not checked in. He looks pissed!

I wish someone would take ownership when we put ourselves in a hole like this.

Kieff is actually trying the hardest right now, which says a lot.

Hey, our bench does so much better than the starters that some of them should play against starters! I'm a little worried about Booker/Warren starting againt SA/CLE/OKC though because they could get demoralized. Heck, they might be demoralized in this game, but hopefully they shake it off and get going. Our bench unit should destroy their's, if Kieff doesn't turn it over 5 times again.

Watching tonight, this looks like a lottery team going to fire it's coach and make big trades.

In Len we trust.

this is not a huge game. Not sure what that statement means.
