Phoenix starting lineup:

C- Gortat
Pf- Frye
Sf- Hill
Sg- Dudley
Pg- Nash

Bench: Morris, Warrick, Price, Childresh


Oklahoma City starting lineup:

C- Perkins
Pf- Ibaka
Sf- Durant
Sg- Sefalosha
Pg- Westbrook

Bench: Harden, Maynor, Collison, Cook

Game starts in a few hours. I don't see us winning on the road against this team but id love for us to compete for 48 min and make a game out of it.

Well, this is gonna be tough to watch.

The Suns defense will get the test against the best team in the NBA.

I hope Nash isn't guarding Westbrook. Jarret Jack was breaking Nash's ankles and Nash played 36 minutes yesterday.

Dudley on Westbrook, Nash on Sefolosha, Hill on Durant.

But the biggest favtor will be Shannon Brown vs James Harden. In years past we never had anyone athletic off the bench to guard Harden but now let's see if Brown can be the on to stop Harden who always has a day to remember against us.

Watch Harden go for 25

This game will not be pretty.

I actually think Gentry wil have then play good today. We might have a pretty good offensive game. Somewhere like 43-47% shooting for tonight.

This isn't likely to end well, but with Nash looking a lot better as a playmaker in the previous game, maybe he'll gain some confidence and get his shot under him finally. If he does that, then maybe the Suns can get their full offense going and hope that they can outshoot the Thunder.

43-47% Nash/Dudley/Fry are still out of shape accuracy wise. And its Oklahoma Im a bit scared i would be happy if they can keep it competitive.

Main things i would like to see:
1) Nash looking like Nash.
2) No Lopez butterfingers.
3) Duds starting to hit some shots, too early for frye yet though imo.
4) Morris getting 15+ minutes and playing reasonably well
5) Brown not playing "how dizzy can i make my defendor, while not doing something useful"
6) At least 1 pick and roll try from our backup PG-s.
7) Not too much "7 seconds left" offence.

Prediction: Surprisingly close game, but still not enough to win this one - just like this whole season will probably look like

Suns 103 Thunder 112

Looking forward to see Morris, Warrick and Lopez in action

haha at the guy swatting the basketball. Nice sig herman

Too bad Gentry doesn't like to play Morris. 1:12 in the last game

If we can get our shooting back and continue to play defense like we have the past 3 games, then we have a real nice shot.

Nash looking great in pre game shooting.

He looks great without a shirt too.

And there comes out Hill.....who goes in? Warrick or Childress?

Frye still sucks. No surprises here.

If Frye or Dudley is shooting it, its obvious the shot won't go in.

This isn't going to be a fun game to watch. They simply have too many weapons for the Suns to handle.

Take Frye out and put Morris in already!
