[DaDragicShow]

Joe Johnson comes back to Phx, I still miss him . I see this as a high scoring game.

Prediction:
Suns 117 Hawks 111

[Phoenix Suns]

I hope JJ gets a standing ovation, afterall he was a Suns player for 4 years.

Anyway, the Suns should win this one

prediction

108-101

[DaDragicShow]

I've never booed JJ once after he left Phx 4 years ago. I still happen to hear on T.V how people are still booeing him but I guess not everyone has to like what he did.

[DaDragicShow]

I cant wait to hear the LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU(Amundson) from the fans tonight. I believe every team should have a Lou on their team, this guy might not be a good free throw shooting, but he hustles, gets every rebound and just sparks his team.

The Hawks are on a losing streak, but our guys still gotta play hard, Atlanta actually doesn't seem to really suck anymore (finally!).

Looks like Horford's gonna be out, but that doesn't change jack since he was gonna get abused by Shaq if he played anyways (he always has trouble guarding big, true centers down low).

I'd like us to try cutting off their ball movement and make sure Bibby/JJ shoot instead of passing. We don't have good man defenders, but if our guys can just execute the team and zone defense properly that'd make those 2 players get too trigger happy (not like it takes much...).

The JJ vs J-Rich and Amare vs Smith matchups should make a fun watch. Hopefully Amare does this on J-Smoove again : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esaD7qCEZPs

GO SUNS!

Just to let you guys know, frys is giving away 300 tickets to tonight game. Giving out a pair of tickets if you come at 5pm and show your VIP Frys card. I would go if I lived down their still.

I like how the commentator in that clip says it was a statue of liberty dunk when it was nowhere near an actual statue of liberty dunk haha. As for my guess, we barely squeak by with a win, 100-97. If they had Horford then we lose, but since he is out then I say we win. Josh Smith, Amare, and J-Rich have dunks that fight each other for Dunk of the Night on nba.com. That's my assumption. I helped out Grant Hill today in my store and I hooked him up with an iPhone so I say he goes off for a solid 15-5-5 tonight haha.

Where did you hear about this? Where can I find more info on it? I'm already going to the game tonight but I have friends who want to go too.

Horford is typically useless vs big centers, he wouldn't make much of a difference if he was healthy

Yeah but Shaq doesnt play the whole game, and we dont have another true big man other then him, so he would have owned Amare/Amundson/Lopez.

[b-ball forever]

And Horford doesn't play whole games either.
Shaq is averaging 30 MPG and Horford's averaging 32 MPG, they'd def be matched up against each other nearly the entire game if he was healthy, and Horford would get schooled.

[DaDragicShow]

Not going to be an easy game, Hawks lost their past 3 games and will be definitely be ready for tonight's game.

It seems like everytime Suns jump out to an early 12-0 or 10-2 lead other teams always come back. So, I'm hoping this game is similiar to the Mavs game, where the first half was close and then we blow them out in the second half.

[NashtyNas]

JJ for 40+ Points. Heard it here first. I'd be happy if he did that and we still won. FANTASY JJ FTW

Bah, watch JRich and Hill lock him down all night.

[DaDragicShow]

They just said in Suns Gametime that last 2 games Joe Johnson is shooting 19%, yes I said it 19% against the Suns in past 2 games. So hopefully it continues tonight.

[Mr. Sun]

Everyone has their shooting slumps.

[Mr. Sun]

Suns should be blowing out the Hawks by now.

[Mr. Sun]

Suns suck so far. Bring in LB to take it to the basket.

[Mr. Sun]

Great moves by Shaq!
