Of course this Westbrook loser comes back against us.

Whatever, run at him.

Hopefully Westbrook is rusty and hasn't had time to get in shape. Should play limited minutes.

Stickied. I could actually see this game going either way but I think we may be in for our first loss, ladies and gentlemen.

All accounts show that Dragic is good to go for tonight despite the collision with PJ. I think the key for tonight is more consistency for the Dragic/Bledsoe duo. They'd also be ready for some stops in case Westbrook comes out of the gate at full force.

Well this game should show us how good we really are.

This will be a good test for Plumlee. Perkins is an absolute bruiser.

Good point, Plumlee may struggle here. He used to perform poorly against teams with bulkier bigs in his Duke days, although he's playing better now than he ever did at Duke so you never know.

Hopefully Plumlee can force Perkins to foul quickly and often, but then again Perkins does very little for them offensively, that I would rather he be in the game than Collison, who I think can match Plumlee's hustle.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one to pick the Suns to win in my tipping competition but I'm probably also the only Sun's fan.

This year is great. I want every team we play to be at full strength. Winning is winning and losing is winning so let our young guys develop against the best.

I'd like to see Archie score 10+ points, Len get 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in 18 minutes, and Plumlee prove he is for real.

Nice to see Dragic back so quickly. Hope we'll see some dragon blade action tonight :D

Return to Phoenix Suns
