And bro you forgot to put Morris in Suns bench lineup.

And you forgot that Eric Gordon is not playing tonight.

Damn Gentry please start Morris over Frye for the sake of God! Or someone break Channing's legs so we dont have to see him play for the rest of the season!

I think any visual of them playing has looked bad so far. :D but I kid, this game will be even tougher than the first if Jack goes off like he did the other night, and Gentry still has his head up his arse.

If Hill isnt on the bench this game to start, then Gentry is just trying to lose games. Chilly played hard and with heart the first game, and saw six minutes of garbage time the second. Warrick played tough in preseason, and supposedly wowed the brass, and doesn't set foot on the court in the first game.

I am not worried about the players, as much a I am worried about the mind of the guys in charge. We have some talent, now let's see it showcased at the right time.

Go Suns!

Here's to hoping Gentry uses a lineup of Nash/Duds/Warrick/Morris/Gortat to start. Then the bench unit cold be Price/Brown/Hill/Frye/Lopez.

My reasoning: Warrick is a better finisher than Gortat, because of the broken finger. Suns need some kind of scoring threat right now. Swap in Morris for now since Frye has a case of the bricks.

I hope we run run run run run like Gentry said we'll try to. That's our only chance now.

I actually like that lineup a lot too. Warrick can provide the offense we've been missing while Grant can help the bench out.

You want to surrond Nash with only one good three point shooter? Good night.

Start nash/brown/dudley/gortat/frye
Subs price/hill/warrick/morris/lopez

this starting lineup gives us

- 4 3pt shooters
- pick n roll with gortat
- dudley playing his natural position
- at least some quickness (brown)

Frye and Morris would get killed inside against Kaman, Okafor and Landry. The starting lineup should stay as it is, maybe swap Frye and Morris.

Why the hell does Frye & Dudley start? Frye's awful, maybe our worst player on the roster. Dudley hasnt dome anything to show he's starting caliber.

Brown & Morris need to start. But Gentry will probably realize this too late, just like last year when he realized Gortat should start over Lopez AFTER the Suns got eliminated from playoff contention.

Morris actually looks like an intimidating guy you wouldn't wanna mess with. Frye? Not so much.

I hate that the game is on NBA TV, when there's free LPBB. Here's to watching a crappy feed.
