I always wished we would get Horford since he was in Florida.. Dang ping pong balls in 2007.

We would probably take Noah (rightfully so since he would be great with Amare in the lineup) instead but I certainly got your point. Ah well.

Horford still would have gone third, so if the "ping pong" balls went our way, we would have had the fourth pick. But I agree with Ryu, we probably would have taken Noah.

This will be a super tough game. ATL plays for each other. They have the chemistry that we had in 2010. It's tough to find. Man I wish this team would have played for each other from the start.

good diversity, good selections OP

suns win

I'm taking a guess here, but did Bledsoe get called for an offensive foul in that picture?

RDG, highly likely.

My prediction:

They are just so good with the ball movement, defense and three point shooting. Not a good match-up...Still, GO SUNS!! Just play hard and pass the ball around.

It will be interesting if we come out with the other night's starting lineup, matching Tucker on Corver. If so, the Morrii will have to come out on fire, and Len will have to be extra mobile. ATL really knows how to move without the ball. I'd like to see TJ come in early, and catch fire.

I actually like our match up with them. Like them, we have multiple guys who can score the rock on any given night. The only difference is they rely on ball movement and we rely on our guys breaking them down on an iso. Defensively I think we match up too. Should be a good game none the less.

Is BKnight returning or is he being sidelined as a precaution?

We should take this game with ease.

Paul Coro said that he is out until next week at least. Ruled out against Hawks and Knicks, then we have three days without games and he can practice with the team to prove his ankle.

Hawks logo always reminds me of the bird from Mario 2:





When they were in the dark they even had the blue shadows just like the ATL one:

No Knight tonite, hopefully that means more minutes for Goodwin.

Losing this game would be unacceptable

Since Warren played well last game, I think Hornacek likely limits his minutes this game as reward for his play. It's what he's been doing all season long.

Its over/under prediction time.

Suns with 97 points
Mother tucker 11/5/3
Bledsoe 4 TO's
Horford 18/9/2 blocks
Suns 8 made 3's
Warren 8/3 reb
Bledsoe 17/8/5

Great ball movement to start the game, Kief needs to relax on O and step it up a bit on D.
