First time in four years the Suns are playing a truly meaningful this late in the season. I am excited. I hope they can win.

Tonight is the night Channing Frye returns to Phoenix. Back to back 25 point games. Tonight and Monday.

Well here we go. If we took care of leads against the LAs and SA this game wouldn't be as sticky of a situation.
But we didn't. And it is.
Just **** win. I don't care how.

I'll still take Bledsoe/Green over Ellis/Calderon but they obviously have the frontcourt advantage. A big shooting night from Frye or Tucker might be the X factor. Last time the Mavs beat us Shane Larkin had a career night (18/5) but he's rarely played since.

Dallas is the 2nd best 3pt shooting team in the league. Holy cow, didn't know that.
If we plan on daring them to shoot and give them open looks like we did against the Clippers and Spurs, then we'll get blown out.
Play f**ing defense and stick to the shooters. Don't go under the screens.

Coro says Dragic is playing tonight, and his minutes will depend on how he feels.

I have a good feeling about this. Just don't let a guy like Larkin get a career-high.

If we lose Dallas clinches.
So we beat Memphis but that does Dallas a favor and clinched them the 7th seed which they have nothing to play for.
The X factor would be if lakers beat Memphis otherwise
