11 games left. 

Post#1 » by Qwigglez » Tue Mar 23, 2010 5:35 am

March
26th vs Knicks
28th @ Wolves
30th @ Bulls
31st @ Nets

April
2nd @ Pistons
3rd @ Bucks
7th vs Spurs
9th @ Thunder
11th vs Rockets
13th vs Nuggets
14th @ Jazz

We have this awesome four day break right now before going against the Knicks at home then a five game road trip. Suns could easily go on a long win streak if they focus every game.
Now this is awesome because the Suns get another four day break after the road trip! Four days of rest to go against the Spurs. Suns could easily be the hottest team going into the playoffs if they build off this momentum. I'm hoping Barbosa will be useful somewhere down the line because we are going to need him.

i think the suns at best lose only 2 of those games. Anything can happen though, so time to make a move on that 3rd seed

That Knicks loss is still pissing me off. I hope they destroy them on Friday.

I think the Suns could win them all and enter the playoffs with a 16 game win streak. Scorching hot Suns with a manchild of Amare Stoudemire playing for the biggest contract of his career. We are all witnesses. Lol.

They'll be tough -- not a certain loss though. 50%/50% at worst.

You need to look deeper into their record. 19-5 since the start of February. 21-5 if you include the last two wins of January.

-Bulls will be though with Noah back
-Bucks seem to play extremely well, should be a though game (b2b btw)
-Okc on the road won't be easy, good thing it will be their 5th game in 7 nights
-Utah on the road, our last game of the season, b2b

Hopin that we go 2-2 on those games and any other game should result in a W, i.e. we finish off the season with 9-2 or better.

I'm hoping we can win at least 9 of those.

March
26th vs Knicks [W]
28th @ Wolves [W]
30th @ Bulls [W]
31st @ Nets [W]

April
2nd @ Pistons [W]
3rd @ Bucks [L]
7th vs Spurs [W]
9th @ Thunder [L]
11th vs Rockets [W]
13th vs Nuggets [W]
14th @ Jazz [W]

I reckon we can beat the Nuggets again, we're playing in Phoenix so it'll be easier than the past times we played them (I think one of them was in Phoenix as well). It'll be a challenge trying to beat OKC and MIL at their home turf so I'll go with the benefit of the doubt and say we'll lose them.

If Suns go 9-2 the rest of the way they can finish 54-28. Who would of thought at the beginning of the season that it's possible for this team to finish 54-28(26 games over .500)?

exactly what I was saying. Have you seeing how good the bucks are playing right now? Never seeing them play like this.

I knew the Suns would be good, though I didn't expect it like this. I thought Frye would be a huge signing because I knew he would fit into our style of play, but I never expected Robin Lopez, Goran Dragic and Jared Dudley to produce like they have been. Before the season I was hoping J-Rich would average close to 20, but then lost sight of that because Richardson was simply playing terrible for us. With his recent play, I'm confident in our team's ability to make a solid run in the playoffs. Our team is playing almost perfect basketball at the right time in the season.

The Bucks will be tough but I think we match up well with them. I'm hoping we use Goran Dragic against Luke Ridnour because it appears when Nash faces other white guys they always have field days on em. I think Robin Lopez will do a good job against Bogut too...
