If we lose to the 76ers again, I will be extremely angry. Because 1) we lost to the 76ers and 2) it will keep our streak going to 3.

Iggy murdered us last time with his mid-range J's, hope Hill can somewhat limit his production this time.
Nash/Amare PnR shud kill em since they don't have an answer for either of our main guys. Sammy will prolly lock up Shaq.

This game's a must win after those 2 loses

GO SUNS!

I hope they come out really focused this game. We got robbed in DET and just out played the 2nd half of BOS. Amare is a monster though, that should continue this game.

GO SUNS!

Sixerfan here. Amare versus Thaddeus is going to be a matchup to keep your eye on. Shaq could have a big game but if we get out running, I could see him being either ineffective or bogged down with fouls. Bell and Green should be interesting and Miller versus Nash could favor you guys - but if Miller starts getting beat off the dribble by Nash, look for Lou Williams to come off the bench and use his speed against Nash. I missed the 1st game against you guys. I'll be interested to see how tomorrow's game plays out.

We have to get this win. This is crucial. We're falling behind the Lakers and we should just win the division. We have to have home court advantage going into the playoffs.

I think MD is going to start the game off in a zone defense.

I want to see some run n gun here. It seems we have not been pushing the ball AT ALL the past few games. I know we played against Detriot and Boston (intense defense) but at certain times we need to decide to just push the tempo and the ball.

I always just see Nash get the ball and he runs full speed into 5 defenders.. I check to see where everyone else is and they are just jogging down the court.

WEEEEEEEE NEED TO REMEMBER PHOENIX SUNS BASKETBALL. these guys seem to have already forgot it.

Will the real Boris Diaw, please stand up?

Suns to take this game 125-115.

We need this win.

WE OWN THIS!

We need a W for our confidence IMO. Sure we were on a 7 game win streak, but we still aren't running on all cylinders and need to get back on track. Some revenge would be nice.

The sky is about where it should be after two L's to the top two Eastern Conference teams.

GET SOME NUTS!!!

Another subpar effort though will bring the clouds mighty low... I hope someone in that locker room is cuttin some ass on 'what it takes'. We have entirely too many Houdinis on this squad.
