VS

When Friday, December 11th 10:30pm EST(8:30pm Arizona)

Where US Airways Center, Phoenix Arizona

Suns Starters

Magic Starters

Keys To Game

1. Come out strong early. No catch up this time. If we're going to win this one we have to hit them hard in the first half.
2. Limit Magic on the glass. Howard's a monster on the boards and will get his but the Suns must box out.
3. Stay home on the shooters Orlando does not run many plays. 60% of their offense consists of isolating Howard then kicking it out once the double team comes or a pick and roll with a pass out to a open shooter. If we contain their shooters we should win.

This should be a good one. Go Suns!

If the Suns lose this game the home crowd should boo them.

The Suns are rested- and at home while Orlando is coming off a back to back. There's no excuse for losing this game other than just being outplayed.

14-3 to 15-7.

Let's make it 16-7 instead of 15-8, yeah?

Pretty big game for us even tho it's *just* another regular season one. They played last night and we need to stop the rot. Playing a high caliber team who has an intimidating big ... we need to show we can beat teams like this.

Our biggest problem with not being as quick as we used to is we can't tire out the bigger centers in the league by running up and down. Cos we are all PnR these days the bigger guys aren't as puffed out as they used to be playing us so they tend to have good games against us now.

We really need Amare in particular to start running the floor even semi-well otherwise we could very well get beat up inside.

This is a huge game, any way you cut it. National TV, at home, undefeated record @ home, against an elite team we would need to beat in the finals, we've lost to pretty much every good team we've faced, we're really well rested, etc. Just got to come out and win baby, that's all there is to it. GO SUNS!

They are all HUGE, MASSIVE games. Take the Knicks and Hornet's games for example.

I can't wait to see the insanely stupid threads that are gonna start once we lose this game. Totally hate to be negative, but the last time we played them they didn't even have VC and they demolished us. Hope they prove me wrong, but we are playing on national TV.

I guess he felt it wasn't helping his defensive game. :lol:

LOL, I thought I was the only one that read that on ESPN. I had to laugh when I read it in the article as well.

The anti-Hill calls begin.

That's probably going to be the highlight of the night.
