You get these game threads done with some punctuality. Do you have the rest of the season made out in a file on your comp or something?

Of course not, since I still hope that someone else will take over :lol:

Seriously, I don't. I've got a sample I made in Photoshop and then I put the new stuff into it, like the Nuggets tonight. Saves me some time.

I do NOT like this b2b crap with the Nuggets. Aside from LB and DJ (DA won't play him) we really don't have anyone who can keep up with AI.

Gotta beat Denver not only for our sake, but to keep them out of the playoffs. I think Golden State has a much better shot at knocking someone else out than Denver.

Jeez, the Suns' schedule lately is about as brutal as can be easily imagined.

I mean, even the 76ers have been hot lately. Then a b2b versus Denver?

I don't like conspiracy theorems, but ... jeez.

I'd like to see what DJ can do against AI defensively.

so would I

these games will be a tough back to back without doubt

the key will be attacking their frontcourt for fouls, last time we played them their front court killed ours

also, we put hill and barbs on iverson and he smoked them both, its definately worth 5-10 first half minutes to DJ to see what he can do. he has barbs like quickness and hill like length (NO not what youre thinking neverfear! ;-)) so he deserves a shot

i look forward to DJ becoming part of our rotation over the next few seasons, will be a nice piece to have

I hope Amare and shaq bring their A game on the boards because Denver does pretty good board work.

I hope Grant can play so Melo wont get amare or Shaq in foul trouble.

Hill gonna be back for this one? We really need him against their 2 offensive juggernauts.

I suspect Hill will be ready. Wouldn't hurt to start Boris and use Skinner if he isn't ready. Sometimes I think D'Antoni is the SUNS worst enemy, sigh.

Essentially every game is a must win from here out...but to honest we REALLY want DEN out...we match up a lot better with DAL than DEN, so I think we need to show these guys how to score
