Frye played decent tonight everywhere except for shooting. I saw him close off the baseline on Grant's guy, and then rotate out to close out on Grant's guy again. I wouldn't call him soft just yet. He is trying hard, he just has little confidence right now. Many of our guys were terrible at shooting tonight. Brown missed two layups. Telfair was completely horrible.

But if Frye continues to be terrible at shooting, will Morris inch his way to the starting lineup?

As for the game,it will be another tough one. In fact, more than likely, every game will be tough for this squad.

Bibby on Sac? How old is that picture? But I like how you get him in there again in the Hawes picture.

I cant believe Turner is still not starting for them. Man would it be nice to get him here in PHX!

As for the game, I'm expecting a 76ers blowout. Our offense had a lot of trouble against their defense last season and now since our offense is even worse than last years, it should be easy for the Sixers.

That's because I love to see Bibby in different uniforms.

isnt frye a professional and a PF/C coming into the NBA he should not be soft or training to be tough. That comes with a character and to be a good player you should definitely be competitive and tough. Frye cant learn to be tough he is done and is going to be soft his whole career!

Is it just me or does every damn team look tough this year?

Other then Toronto, Cleveland, Pistons, everyone pretty much looks tough.

We don't look so tough. :lol:

That is why I suggested they all get mohawks. And James Johnson from the Raps, he already has one.

Toronto looked really good against the Cavs - tough defense, solid rebounding, great team play. They don't suck .... yeah, I know it's Cleveland but they're playing like a team, they've all bought in to Caseys' style and the young guy slook great. AJohnson had 12 boards i think - and they were blocking shots all over the place.

Damn, I wish we'd gone after Sessions. Exactly the backup PG we need.

It's all relative. All teams in the league look tough for the Suns because the Suns are bad. Good teams don't think the same.

I want to see what Lopez can contribute in this game. Also excited to see what Morris can do. But if RoLo can do what he did last game, I'd start him until Gortat heals his thumb. This is a contract year for Lopez BTW, so he might be going out there with something to prove.

SunsRback4Good · Post #19 » by **SunsRback4Good** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 12:08 pm

I wonder if Warrick plays tonight. Hopefully he plays consistent this year unlike last.

Tough game. I think we'll lose just because of Philli's great perimeter defense and athleticism. Our chance might be the pick and roll with Nash and Gortat but how will we score when Nash's on the bench?
