Nice, I'll be in town visiting family. Let's keep this streak going!

Awesome Run, hope you enjoy the holidays with your family.

After this home game, Phoenix plays the next 4 on the road so its very critical to come out hungry and try getting a win. Ellis has been on a role lately and put up 38 last game against the mighty Spurs. So, it will be a test for Bledsoe to limit him under 20 for us to have a chance at all in this game. But most importantly, we gotta rebound and keep them from 2nd chance points.

GO SUNS!!!

Thank you, I hope you have incredible holiday as well.

It will be a tough battle. They have great scorers, and with Chandler, they have good defense and rebounder. Len will really have to work his butt off.

I hope Green's first two shots are power dunks that get the whole team and crowd going nuts.

Bledsoe will have 7 turnovers. Dallas will win the game by 15 points.

I planned my late Christmas shopping around the Suns games. All has gone accordingly.

Markieff needs to take it to Dirk - that's the only way to take him out of his game and get him frustrated.

Ellis will do what he wants, he always does for some reason against the Suns.

Bledsoe and Dragic need to attack attack attack Rondo/challenge Chandler inside - they've got NOBODY behind Chandler up front so try and get him in foul trouble early. Len and Plumlee cannot get in foul trouble early or we're going to get murdered on the boards by Chandler/he's great with offensive tap-outs to teammates.

Leave Rondo wide open and make him shoot.

I like the Tucker/Parsons match-up. I also still don't know how Parsons gets any of his shots to fall with that form (much like Tucker in that respect!).

Most importantly, PROTECT HOME COURT and GO SUNS!

Tyson Chandler probably gonna have like a 20 rebound game.

4 of the top-6 clutch shooters (last 5 minutes, +/- 5 pts, min 20 FGA) will play in this game.

Jeff Hornacek should show the tape of the defense they played against the Wizards and let Tucker guard Dirk for most of the game.

Damn you keep punking me with these early game threads. New thread appears, I think "Oh, I didn't think there was a game today." Click on thread "Oh, there isn't."

Whoever guarded Dirk last time did a pretty good job.

Sorry man, just wanted to make one early cause if I don't Id be making one the last minute of game time.

Our frontcourt won't allow Chandler more than 35 points and 20 rebounds. Book it.

I don't doubt on the 35 pts, Chandler has never been much of an offensive threat in his life. 20 rebounds though is possible but probably won't happen this game since he's gonna be tired coming off a back to back from yesterday.

Taylor Swift devoted her song to Rajon Rondooooooooo.

I can't wait for this game literally counting down the hours until it starts. Anyone else has that kind of feeling?

It should be exciting. I'm going to watch a bunch of games tonight. This, the AZ Cats, and the OKC/Portland game should be a fun one too. Right now I'm gonna check the Cavs/Wolves game considering like half of my fantasy lineup plays in that game.
