@sactownroyalty: RT “@mr_jasonjones: Expect Kings to close games with Thomas, McLemore (Thornton if he's hot), Gay, Derrick Williams and Cousins.”

Was hoping to see Williams start at PF. Sigh.

Nothing like playing the suns when we need a win.

Not even my failed predictions can curse this one.

Interesting pregame article.

http://arizonasports.com/41/1684721/Pho ... ento-Kings

Phoenix Suns believe they ‘owe' the Sacramento Kings

The Phoenix Suns have been fooled twice by the Sacramento Kings, accounting for a third of their win total.

"We owe them," forward Marcus Morris said.

"We got to get them," guard Eric Bledsoe added.

"We'll take them seriously (Friday)."

They had better. The Suns don't want to be fooled for a third time.

"Just got to come out and play our game," Bledsoe said. "No excuses."

Should be an interesting game. I fully expect Cuz, and IT to come out fired up after our last disaster, and Gay should have plenty to prove.

Key to the game.

Cuz needs to stay out of early foul trouble.

To me as long as we have one of the new "Big 3" out on the floor at all times we should be ok

I'm assuming the rotations barring massive foul trouble will be this
C; Cuz/JT/Gray
PF"JT/Williams/Acy
SF: Gay/Williams/Outlaw
SG Mclemore/Gay/Thornton
PG: IT/whoever

I would like to see Williams and Gay playing together on the wings rather than seeing Thornton anymore just to experiment with it and actually playing with a massive line up.

Bledsoe/Dragic vs Isaiah is always epic to watch and both these teams got CRAZY athletes Green/Tucker/Morris Twins vs Gay/D Will/Outlaw/Mac some serious flyers in those groups. Might be the two most athletic teams in the NBA going at it maybe.

Good line, hard to say, he had some trouble when Toronto went there recently from what I heard. I'll go over and say 20.

He tends to go to that shot a lot from what I've seen from Toronto & Memphis.

The trade may be worth it for just Aaron Gray alone. He's like a rich man's Jon Brockman. I've liked what I've seen from Rudy Gay too so far.

I'm not expecting anything about him, thought he was just another bad but tall guy. But unless this play it's just an exception, he would be much useful than i think before.
