Some very interesting matchups, namely Brown vs Afflalo and Gortat vs McStooge.

I don't want to see Afflalo, Lawson and Anderson kill us and go for 20+.:(

I bet Faried is going to rape Frye in this game.

Their both the EXACT opposites of each other. Only common thing they have is that they play the same PF position but they play it in very different fashion.

Faried will just get 15+ rebounds inside while Frye hits a few 3's finishes with 6 points and 2 rebounds and smiles at the end. :(

So if we win against Denver are we in 8th place?

Yep - We would catapult Denver out of the playoffs (momentarily, at least). We would be 1/2 a game behind Houston for the 7th spot. Houston does not play tonight, but they do play the Lakers tomorrow. So Phoenix could be tied for hte 7th spot by tomorrow night if things go well.

They would be so perfect next to each other. :sigh:

I gotta ask something, and I'm sure it's just an inside joke or something that's going right over my head, but are you intentionally spelling Josh Childress' name incorrectly? The first time, I thought maybe it was just a simple typo, but then I noticed it a few more times. Please enlighten me. :wink: Thanks!

Wait what happened to Wilson Chandler and Gallo? Haven't been really paying attention to NBA lately due to exams =/.

Chandler: Groin strain
Gallo: I'm pretty sure he broke one of his fingers when he missed a dunk

It goes without saying that this is an important game for the Suns. A win against Denver will have us tied for the 8th spot in the standings with 11 games left. If we lose we are 2 games back with 11 games to go.....hard to make up.

Houston plays Lakers tomorrow in LA and if they lose we would also be tied with them.

Maybe a pinky injuring will sideline him for tonight's game? :(

We need Brewer to play for Denver. He's one guy that cannot shoot no matter how open he is. Think Josh Childress.

Unless he starts to sink five, six 3's in a row :)

BTW, I'm very excited to see this kid Faried crushing the boards, abusing us in the paint...

Wow, probably Andre Miller can not play tonight.
Andre Miller's status questionable. Miller was ejected Wednesday for a flagrant-2 foul on New Orleans' Carl Landry.

That would be huge, because they have already lost Wilson Chandler, Gallinari and Rudy Fernandez.

Possibly some more good news for the Suns (sorry Paul):

Jonathan Rinehart ‏ @jonrinehart

Paul Millsap (stomach virus) not at shootaround this morning. He will be a game-time decision for tonight vs. Golden State.

Warriors are tanking hard though.
