[-SDU-]

teams tank it to get a higher draft pick when they are at the bottom of the ladder

i say we tank this to get the nets to the playoffs (ahead of the hawks) and get us a higher draft pick

DO IT!

That's a good excuse if we lose the game, which is very likely consider our track record in b2b sets.

[TASTIC]

I can see Harris torching Nash and Boone getting 15 rebounds...

Might not need to... Bulls on a run in the 4th.

[albasuna]

YEAH bulls lets do this!

[-SDU-]

[The Nash Era]

Win and we tie LA. Do it.

[TASTIC]

Hey Evans had 13 in 26mins...not THAT far off...

PHX 109
NJ 101

[pidi]

damn, you

[b-ball forever]

Harris can give Nash hell, Vince always kills us, and RJ's having a career season, so I won't be surprised at all if we get raped on the wings (on top of it Raja n Hill aren't physically at 100% at the mo).

This is a game were we gotta let our bigs pound it hard inside.
Their only good post defender is Diop, and he comes off the bench, so feed the mo-effin beasts!

GO SUNS!

[TASTIC]

^Boone's ok, though I think Shaq is too big and Amare too fast (seem to be saying that combination a lot now, wicked) so he might get in foul trouble early. They got Marcus Williams too who abused Nash last year for about 25 I think...

[The Nash Era]

Suns forward Grant Hill will sit out tonight's game at New Jersey due to lingering problems with a pulled groin and a right wrist sprain.

Leandro Barbosa will take Hill's starting place.

[TASTIC]

Ok that changes some things...If NJ had any brains they'd post Barbosa up with Carter every time

[suns32]

I think Bell will be guarding Carter and Barbosa will be on Jefferson.
Get well Hill.

[PHXfan85]

No GH! That's it, I'm forming a mob. Get your pitchforks and torches!

[Mr. Sun]

Weird seeing Harris in a Nets jersey for some reason.

[snowchess]

why not stick diaw into starting lineup?
or are they trying to get barbosa more going after his recent slumps
