What is the latest news on Hill? We could really use a healthy Hill on Durant.

Nash going for Big O's all time assist number, could move into #5. Needs 14.

There have been many games where we have been tied towards the end of a game and we have barely won. Should those have counted as losses then? You can't think like that. What happened happened.

Honestly, I know I am gonna get a lot of hate for this but I would rest Nash, Hill and Gortat vs OKC.

We're not gonna win that game no matter what imo and its pointless to play them heavy minutes cause the next day we play the Clippers (who we have a much higher chance of beating) so might as well have our best players save the energy for that game.

OKC hasen't been playin great ball recently, and I think the suns are very motivated at home so I would definitely think that it will be a close game. Either way, we have to get 1 win outta this somehow. It will be tough.

I m not sure that the CLips game will be all that much easier..

playing for the playoffs now so there is no point in resting anyone that isn't injured. Only a few games remain and its imperative that we play as hard as possible... we dont have the luxury to say "oh we already clinched so lets rest blah blah and blah"

Good thing your opinion is just that, an opinion. GTFO with this "not gonna win no matter what" B.S.

Man I would love to see a live game. I haven't been able to go for a few years now. Actually the last game I went to was in LA, against the lakers on the first game of the season. It was when Kobe sat out, and we had like a thirty point lead, and still lost. :banghead:
