If Shaq's playing, should be an easy win. 104-89 Suns.

Eh, no such thing as an easy win with this group. Our offense was fine, but our defense was flat out TURRIBLE. We gotta tighten up on D...

I wouldn't be suprised at all if we came out overconfident from the recent win and lose controll of this one early in the game. We have a history of not showing up against bad teams. Example A is the game against OKC. Hope our guys have learned from their past mistakes. I am crossing my fingers

Are you guys sure Shaq is going to play? supposedly his Grandmother died and won't be playing in the Laker game according too a sports radio station in L.A, 570 AM

if we depend on Shaq to win every game then we're in trouble. With Nash, Hill, Amare, Diaw, Barnes, Bell, Lopez at center, and Barbosa it should be enough fire power to get it done. We win period.

Anything less than a W at home against these guys is a FAIL.

* Because he is playing tonight, O'Neal could be held out of Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Terry Porter said O'Neal would be a game-time decision against the Lakers.

I'm a little torn. I mean, the fact that we have to sit Shaq on back to backs is stupid, but it definitely has a noticeable effect.

No posts yet? WTF?
This is the best I've seen us play in years. They're finally playing at the right tempo.

Yep. The offense looks real good. Pick and roll, transition 3s, Shaq post up, Amare at the elbow....Raja is hot tonight, Boris struggling though.
Still some sloppy TOs but we're up 9 at the moment.

Maybe we could rest him in this game. He already has 19pts in this game, we should just sit him for the rest of the game, unless we really need him. Then maybe he could play against the Lakers

Great offensive first half! It's been a long time so it's nice to see.
The defense...not much. We gave up too many offensive board that turned into points for them.

Bender said it's a good possibility that Shaq misses tomorrow's game for the funeral and possibly Friday vs. Orlando.
Oh well, we were going to lose tomorrow anyways, now, we'll just get beaten worse.

Why so little PT for out bench players? Diaw and Barnes have played about 10 mins each.

I am a Bucks fan. I've always liked the Suns, though I haven't gotten to see them play much, mostly only games against the Bucks. I cheered for them in the Playoffs last year.
That said, I don't remember seeing a team with such poor sports. They complain on every play, Shaq acts like a cantankerous old man and everyone else follows his cues. For me, your team is totally unlikable. I am sorry, but I thoughta team with Grant Hill would have class, but even he sinks to the level of the rest of the Thugs on your team. I can't imagine how this team would be fun to watch... I hope you guys don't even make the playoffs, and I don't think you will...
