Suns better smash them to the ground.

You forgot Coach Mike D

[Miklo]

Oh good old Mike D and the Seven Players or Less

[impulsenine]

Oh good old Mike D and the Seven Players or Less

Oh my I'm going to have to remember that.


SO: Revenge or Incredible Letdown, Part 2?

I think it depends on whether they remember that they can laugh about that dunk only because they just barely beat an 18-win team.

[rsavaj]

It's always fun when Mike comes back home.

I know I'm in the minority when I say this but I hope D'antoni gets booed out of the building due to his tenure as GM with bad signings (Marcus Banks, Doris Meow), causing them to trade away rookies (Rondo and the countless others), his coaching style and for just being an arrogant prick.

I think this'll be another stop on what has been referred to as the Revenge Tour. The Suns are taking no prisoners right now, and they'll be well-rested.

Err, I'd hardly call last night "taking no prisoners," except for Amare. They will be rested, though.

[phxsports]

Last night was a bit of an exception. But overall, since the All-Star break, the team has been extremely focused.

I love Coach Mike, definitely one of the best head coaches they had. Great coach in general. I want to destroy the Knicks for how they beat us last time though.

I agree.
But I think the Boris Diaw signing was only because the Suns didn't want to get jipped again by another team offering him a huge contract and he would end up leaving like Joe Johnson did. Though in hindsight I wish that would have happened, lol.

Yeah at least he brought us J-Rich who's contributing on this 45-26 team, plus he also is a big expiring contract next season. Shame though about Doris, if he lost about 20 pounds and grew a pair he could have been one of the better players in the league.

[DBrimstone]

Thank you New York for beating Denver!!! Now just suck it up against us

[sunfire0112]

We need to stop playing down to our opponent's level.
The first couple minutes will be telling. If we D up and run em off the 3pt line then it won't be long till it's Taylor Griffin time. If NYK comes out guns blazing, out-hustling us, and bombing away, then it'll be a loooooooong night.

[DirtyDez]

Run O thru Amare and guard the 3 point line. Seems so easy yet opposing teams constantly get wide open jacks.

[Blackification]

inside domination go through amare and lopez.

[DaDragicShow]

Pick and roll is your bread and butter so use it Nash/Amare.

[DaDragicShow]

Prediction: Amare for 30+ and 10+ reb

Suns win 109-91.
