I've been having some luck with the plain Jane approach of late so I don't want to rock the boat!

They are 9-12 on the road and have a bit of a losing streak right now.
I think it helps.

This game boils down to Diaw. We win or lose based on his performance. Honestly, I'm most worried about the defensive end. Someone has to stop Amare.

They managed to limit one of the power forwards of all time to 10 points. I think they'll find out how to deal with Amare.

Interesting they went with the other Lopez last night more than they did Frye. They also played a lot down the stretch with Nash and Dragic in the back court rather than JRich or Barbosa.

If Diaw plays tonight like he did against the Spurs, we should win. Hopefully he comes in feeling confident and also ready to show the Suns what they lost. But regardless of Diaw, tonight we need our PG's to be solid and both Crash and Jax have to be on their game.
This is our chance to reach .500. Can't let is pass us by. Gotta win.

Nash is the key. When we can stop him, we stop Suns.
Every time we are close to achieving something, we lose. So I am afraid we are not gonna win this. I hope I'm wrong.

I sort of feel the same mo. I keep waiting for the bubble to burst.
I think it comes from being a Bobcats fan!!

Well. Like they say before the game: Keys for win.
1. Keep Nash ast below 10.
2. Force J Rich to hard shots, he may easily go 2-14 against us, as he wants to prove something.
3. Not let Frye to get open looks, just hang near him. Usually he gets assist from Nash for open look.
4. Let Wallace to work on offensive game and fly to the rim and get Amare into foul trouble, as Amare isn't defender at all, probably fouling instead of blocking.
Easy

No problem.
JRich and R.Lopez
for
Chandler and Diop
I'd LOVE Swish playing the 6th man role for us playing between the 2 and 3.

I meant like seriously just drop him off. No trades necessary.

That said, how does the trade above look to you?
You get an athletic 7 footer who excels in the P&R (Nash's bread and butter) so Amare can play the 4. Barbosa moves to the starting 5, Dragic gets some more burn.......
We get some great bench fire power.

It would be a no right now, especially after Lopez had the best game of his career last night. He's developing into a Chandler-esque player. Chandler hasn't impressed me much this season(+ the Suns refused to trade Ben Wallace for him), and Diop is Diop. I think if Phoenix was going to go down the "big man" route, they'd do Jason Richardson for Samuel Dalembert.
