Really nice GT!

Coro: Lopez-Hill-Pietrus-Carter-Nash lineup will start Sunday at Sac.

This spells little trouble against the kings because they are so big.

Yeah, I was afraid we'd roll a smaller lineup again tonight. Against Detroit it was okay, but the Kings have a lot of bigs that can bang with us in the paint and get some easy buckets. If they use common sense, the Kings will dump it to their bigs until we play an actual PF.

That said, I still like the Suns in this one. Finally got a win the other day which should boost the confidence of everybody. With how they were playing on that losing streak, I couldn't help but feel like they were demoralized and needed to feel what a win was like again. They got that feeling, and hopefully it starts getting better here.

Oh and Tyreke is still hurting. Give the ball to Vince Carter who will then cross Tyreke over again and again until his foot falls off. Easy win.

My finger is on the button. We should win this one.

I know the small ball lineup worked against the Pistons, I don't like Pietrus starting in this game.

We put in Pietrus in last game supposedly for D against Villanueva, but with guys like Landry and Thompson, I'd much rather try Warrick or Frye who will at least match them with size.


That being said, I hope that the Suns start off the New Year with a win! Kings are struggling big time, and this is a must win to get some momentum going for us.

Let's go SUNS!

Agreed, but maybe gentry likes the way this unit plays together. We'll see. Either way we should get the W.

This is a B2B for the Kings and the Suns were rested up, is this a lock for the W column?

Don't like this small lineup one bit. Sure it worked once against a small team, but it is not a formula that wins games. No small team has ever won a playoff series - except GSW shocker over Dallas several year ago.

Frye, however, MUST come off the bench. Dragic's game looks so much smoother when the center can shoot. This means that Gortat or Hakim should be the starting PF.

yeah i agree. I don't care about the roster, rotations, excuses, etc.

if you continuously drop to easy teams, the coach MUST go.

and if Suns lose to the Kings, Gentry must be fired immediately.

Really? I don't think anyone has bitched more about Gentry than me. I think he's had his head up his butt practically this whole year but I still don't think he should be fired. He just needs to coach better. Firing a guy with all the changes that have been made seems excessive. If they do that, you can pretty much right off the entire season, probably next year as well. After all, he did an excellent job last year so he does have the capability. The team need to come together, not apart.

I would like to see Gortat at the 4 for a while. Not sure he is quick enough to play that position very much. It would be nice to experiment and find out though.

Coro suggests Warrick is benched because lack of energy.

Seriously, can you ever imagine Lou being benched for that?
