Heard Nash and Hill might be resting tonight to play fit against Pistons, where we have better chances of winning. Any confirmation on that?

I wish Nash/Hill play tonight against a good Clippers team then rest them against Pistons. Because without Nash/Hill we got a chance beating Pistons but without them tonight Clips will kill us.

Pistons have been playing solid basketball lately, and have a better last-10-games record than the Clips....but I think that's mostly made at home-games. When playing out of town they continue to be quite fragile.

And they are playing @ Phoenix, so I agree with you.

Do not rest Nash and Hill. If we rest them tonight there is zero chance of us winning beating LAC. We have to go all in.

Yeah, I agree do not rest Nash / Hill tonight. Maybe trim back their minutes a bit, but they need to play.

Thats what happens when you have the AARP playing on your team. :lol:

Yeah, we can just give them 25-27 minutes tonight instead of 33+. But Id rather they play 30+ tonight and rest them both against Detroit.

If the Suns want to make the playoffs, this is as close to a must-win game as you can get

If we don't make the playoffs or don't get a top 10 pick, I'll never forgive Steve Nash for not asking for a trade. Dude better start ballin his ass off now.

With the Suns being so close to a playoff spot, I'd think resting Nash/Hill is completely out of the question, for tonight, and tomorrow. The rest of this season needs to played by both of them to have a chance.

(Plus, my fantasy team hates it. Nash and just picked up Hill, as he was the best SF option out there ATM.

Couldn't we add a decent player before trade deadline. like 10 teams already made trades to help them while the Suns haven't done anything yet.

Ah... the whole "make a trade for the sake of making a trade" argument. I'm okay with them not making trades for the sake of doing something, if there aren't any trades that make sense to make. There's a thread for this trade talk, also.

Suns get a bit of a break tonight since Nick Young will not be playing until passing a physical.

Ok so keys for the game today are:

All i got to say is that if Nash and Hill play we win, and if not, well we will get dismembered and dismantled.

At least both of the teams are on the back to back. Hopefully Brian Cook's departure rests heavily on the CLips minds and they will not be focuzed rather thinking about Nick Young's fro.

Frye is getting into a groove recently and if his shooting contunues we should be alright. Anyways hope you all have a good day and a good game from the boys from the Ari(d) Zone.
