Dragic is definitely out on Saturday. This will be a test of our starters and bench.

Indy played tonight in Denver... Even though they'll get wide open 3's all night i expect us to outscore them tommorrow.

Should be an easy win. If the Suns lose I will no longer be a fan. Can't even take the Pacers seriously.

Game 65 already? My how fast time passes

Hopefully they can guard the three point line, it seems these past few games the Jazz, Clippers, etc have been going off from there...

Dude Hansbrough is like dead

Out for the season and might have post concussive syndrome etc, so definitely not a reserve

Hibbert could make things a bit difficult under the hoop and Troy Murphy looks like a clown

I was hoping Dragic could start in Nash's place to give him rest but that won't happen. :-(

Is there a talented D leaguer pg we could sign for a 10 day contract?

We can sign Marbury he playing in China right now. Maryvale would get an orgasm if that happens. :lol:

Good idea! I don't mind whoever it may be just as long as it means Nash can get some rest.

No resting tonight, blow em out by the end of the 3rd. Almost a week off until the Lakers. They'll bring back Dragic and Barbosa for that and they'll be at full force against them.

It's time for some serious payback. Not only for the loss in Indiana but also for Granger's game winning shot in Phoenix last season. Blow them out and let Nash begin his healing before the 4th quarter until the Lakers game. Then, hopefully, we'll have all three of our guards back fully recovered..

Let's go for 40-25...!

Dude I'd be happy if they signed Marbury but not THAT happy :lol:

No excuses losing at home to the Pacers. A must win. If we are serious about playoffs we can't give this game up.

agreed. this game will be more telling than the jazz game. which also was an inexcusable loss.

I have no doubt in my mind the Suns will win this game. Nash will only log 20 minutes. We'll be seeing Dudley at the point in the 4th quarter.

Louis Amundson is ninth in the league in rebounds per 48 minutes

Imagine if he was a starter playing real minutes.
