Unlike the Cardinals, the Suns seem to know how to put inferior teams away. I think we struggle at first because philly's athleticism will be a change of pace compared to washington and boston isn't that athletically gifted so that might take us back plus it's a back to back hope grant plays better same with j rich and frye.

I see us winning by 7 or so.

Cardinals almost gave me a heartattack today. For a second, I thought it might be a repeat of Cards/Bears from 3 years ago.

They are what we thought they were and we let them off the hook!

Did anyone see Whiz punch the mic after the game like Denny Green as a joke? Hilarious

yeah. that was funny. good thing matt ware picked that ball off which was set up by nice coverage on the receiver by ralph brown otherwise we could've been in for another dicey situation. truth be told I was slightly worried but I figured there was too much time on the clock for them to rally realistically. then again who knows with this team. still I'll take a 20 point win on the road any day of the week. Warner 5 touchdowns fitz had 2 had 120 yards beanie and hightower had nice days combined. I'm thinking 8-3 going into the game against minnesota.

Every time i think the Cards have a gimmie they end up blowing it. Maybe we should start wearing our road uni's at home.

I still have a hard time looking at the play in your sig, with out thinking how that wasn't called a foul. The sure physics of it, and the angle at which LeBron comes across, it just boggles the mind.

Anyway, it should be a tough game, even though the Sixers record would make it seem an easy game. Sixers always give us trouble. I hope we come out strong, and keep control of the boards. AI will be a tough assignment for Grant. I see Duds covering him often.

telling statement of the year by Doc Rivers,

"rarely do I ever say keep grant hill in the game but I'd rather see him in than dudley. he gave us problems."

Jared dudley is the mvp of that bench

It's the fact that he was trying to pull off a 360 dunk down 2 points with Lebron behind him. I think the ref was trying to teach him a lesson. Personally i thought it was sad and hilarious at the same time.

We may not see a lot of hill tomorrow because of the back to back, but I think Dudley can handle some more minutes.

Keys to success:

Limit turnovers
Defensive rebounds
Bigs stay out of foul trouble


To be honest, this is the formula for the Suns to win ANY game. If any one of these bombs, we lose; it's proven the last 4 seasons to be a decent indicator for Phoenix.


I hope Speights doesnt have another career night on us. And lets keep Brand contained while we're at it.

They seem to be playing Speights A LOT more than Dalembert, wouldn't surprise me though if Daly has 15rebs against us.

Brand's a shell of his former self, sucks, he's one of my favourite players.

Philly really has A LOT of players that like to play us like Iggy, Lou Williams and Young

Not to look past this game, but I didn't know where to put this comment.

We have to play the Lakers, in LA, on the second night of a back to back coming up on Thursday. Dammit!

I have a bad feeling for this game for some reason. We need Nash and Amare pick and roll all day.
Jrich, please make your shots today.

i have a feeling this is going to be an easy victory for the Suns. Sixers are playing real bad, if the Suns can put out the crowd early in the first half, i think it's going to be an easy win...
