Godly captions. This is going to be a great game. Series tied at 1-1. Hopefully Sarver and Kerr aren't dumb enough to get a trade off before this game, thus leaving the Suns short handed.

Only verbally destroy them IMO, we are most likely going to lose this game by 15+. Sorry for being a downer but I just cant see them winning this game. Hopefully they can prove me wrong!

Suns 99
Spurs 98

Thanks AP and Harshey. I don't know guys, I think we can win it, especially after the heart breaker last time around... We will have to play with a fire, but we can win it. Shaq will destroy Bonner (they throw Bonner / Oberto / Duncan / Thomas all at Shaq, but Bonner starts off on him I believe) Shaq will have a 2 day rest too. If STAT plays well, and Nash can cut down the TO's by ONE per game, we'd be happy campers.

Last time they put Duncan on Shaq and Bonner on Amare. The main reason why we lost is because Amare didnt get any touches when Bonner was on him, and when he did get the touches he chose to shoot over drive it in.

We went to Amare three or four straight times down the stretch, and three or four times he missed or turned it over. After a certain point we have to stop going to Amare in ISO situations, b/c he's not the same ISO player he was pre-surgery.

Instead, pick and roll like crazy...gives both Nash AND Amare more opportunities to do what they do best down the stretch.

Nice thread mate!

Can't wait to be AT the game...wonder if we can laser the crap outta San An...

Oh, well sorry I thought they were switching between there 4 bigs to give SHAQ different looks, cause thats how it seemed like when I was watching, might be wrong. But I think what the guy after you said is true, Stoudemire did miss a lot of chippies that game, and STAT isn't the same ISO player he used to be as well. P&R are killing us like we used to kill other teams with them, I still keep wondering why we don't do it as often any more... Call me dumb, but I used to always complain when all we ran was Nash/Amar'e P&R and nothing else. Now, I'm thinking, why the hell did I want to fix something that never was broken?!

[TXSun]

wouldn't it be nice if we beat SA on Thursday? I still say FIRE PORTER!

[Frank Lee]

This is a pivotal game... off the near disaster road trip... with sufficient rest and regrouping

If Pops brings his whole squad (seems like he always is sandbaggin someone against us here) and decides to really F with us.... it is the perfect time. A throttling victory by SanAnt could send us spinning into a sure implosion/explosion. This is a black hole game that could jeopardize Planet Orange.

I think Poopavich has a distinct personal dislike for Sarver.

Wasn't it San Ant who the Chicken Dance, the infamous Chicken "WTF R U DOING' Dance was directed to ?


PS... I sure hope ManuGino doesn't go off.... I am not sure diplomatic immunity will cover sporting events. I say no more on this matter

[krac36]

I sincerely believe the suns will win this one.
After that pathetic road trip, they need to win this one game.
Dont like bonner and amare matchup since amare doesnt drive on bonners fat ass. DRIVE AMARE DRIVE

Pick and Rolls please!!

[lilfishi22]

Took the day off to watch this game, hopefully I'll get my money's worth (the money I forfeited to watch this game)

[nashill]

i dont care if we lose. i just want to see improvements on coaching and passion and commitment from the players... that is how everything will start to save the team this season.

after beating the dallas by 20 +, we all thought that the suns are back but it was a fluke. now a win here will mean nothing if we wont see any improvements on the whole team from the players to coaches.

[NashtyNas]

The day is here guys. GOOD LUCK SUNS

[lilfishi22]

I took the wrong day off work . . . .

Damn time difference.

[DaDragicShow]

lmao that sucks lilfishi. Maybe it's a good thing not to watch this game since Suns been losing badly lately. I just hope we come out with some vengence and molest this team and come out with a win.
