After winning their first road game for nearly two months, the Sonics will head to the desert and play Steve Nash and his Phoenix Suns. The Suns made quite some news this week, when they traded Shawn Marion and Markus Banks for future Hall-of-Fame center Shaquille O'Neal, who won't play tonight.

No, i think he's back in Miami and also had been out of action for a couple of games before.
So we should look and pound them hard on the boards, or we won't stand a chance at all.

BTW: Great to have you back wiff.

Great to have you back wiff! I was starting to miss your picture posts lol. I wish shaq was playing tonight, I want to see him crawl cross the court

I like you wiff. Hope you stick around.

I'm feeling a Sonics win

collison amare matchup will be key. Remember when Collison had a 20/20 game on him? Everybody thought he would get pooped on because of Amare's athleticism.

This should be a easy game for the sonics to win. No Marion, No Diesel... Nash cannot control the ball any longer.

i dont know about "easy", but i think it will be entertaining.

I'm banking on Diaw to pick up quite a bit of the slack that Marion left behind - He's making his debut on my fantasy team tonight).

Someone please quickly make a post after me... I think i'm a curse... there's now a series of threads where I make a post and then it gets locked right behind me. I'm sure it's just a coincidence but it's starting to give me a complex.
