Can't afford to have a slow start against Love. It's fortunate we don't have to play against Pek this time, we really had no answer for his size previous game.

It'll definitely be easier this time around with Pek missing the game.

Pek played 33 minutes and put up 17 points and 12 rebounds.

And don't forget that Kevin Martin, who scored 20 points last time, is out as well.

This should really be a must-win.

With Martin out, I wonder if Tucker guards Rubio a bit in this game.

My memory must be going. I remember them playing in Phx already too where we won a close game & Love was super pissed but I guess they haven't even been to Phx yet.

Green hit that game winner in Minny.

I was surprised to see we were only favored by one in this game. Usually the home team would be favored by about 3 if the teams were equal.

These next 4 games are all must win games considering the dreadful schedule we have coming after that.

You mean Love? Rubio is not an offensive threat.

Go Suns..

I'm predicting 36 for Dragic tonight... Always loved playing vs Rubio + he seems to like to up his record by 1 point at a time.
