I have a feeling Dragic wil drop 25+ on us pissing off Morris Bro's to the point where they sucker punch him and get ejected. I expect a better showing because it really can't get any worse then the previous game, right?

Idk man, I think Dragic will struggle. He's playing on a busted back and he's playing vs his former team. Suns will probably have some extra fire in this game.

I don't think Dragic will hit his full stride with Miami until Bosh returns. Goran relies on transition & pick & pop/roll so much because he doesn't have much of an ISO game so Bosh and his ability to stretch the floor is real important. Plus the backup PFs for Miami are awful, I think Beasley is now their best PF which is pathetic.

I don't hold anything against him though just like I didn't hold anything against Gortat, Dudley; Nash, Amare, Marion etc when they were traded away. Would love to see him do well but with the game score resulting in our favor.

I know a bunch of idiots (same people who were kissing his ass like 5 months ago) will be waiting for him to screw up so they can bash him to death though :lol:

I'd be more worried about Whiteside, he's developed into a top 5 Center in the NBA. He just had 24 rebounds against Atlanta who they barely lost to by 2 pts btw.

It feels like it's been a long time since we've beat Miami. I don't think we've beat them even once in the past 5-6 years. Lost to them earlier this season also.

Read somewhere that we'll be wearing purple Los Suns unis for this one. Hope this new jersey brings us good luck again. :lol:

I prefer we wear nothing just as long as we win.

I love those Los Suns uniforms! They celebrate Latino heritage by adding "los", which is a Spanish word. I think we should extend this form of paying respect to other heritages, starting with Native Americans. Instead of their real names, players can wear Native American monikers on their jerseys. I can hear Steve Albert now: "Dancing Beaver passes the ball to Velvet Owl who lobs it to Purple Duck for the ferocious throw down... "

I love beavers :eyebrows:

Nice thread. Time to bounce back from that dismal performance against the Spurs and turn it on against Dragic.

Any news on Knight's hip, and if he'll be playing this game?

Surely Goran isn't dodging the Suns with "back issues"? j/k

I think he'll play, I just hope Knight doesn't bitch out. Knight is the one that McD proclaimed to be the best player in the Suns trades both incoming and outgoing so out of all the Suns players, most eyes will be on him and his performance.
