Thanks for making the thread

Everyone, let's make this a civil game thread this evening, without drama!

[schnakenpopanz]

for me this is a game that can change our season, if we win we wil be in a good position to make postseason

[Jimmy76]

We're gonna need healthy Nash to win tonight

[gino_giode]

If someone gets hot, keep them in the EFFIN game!

[KLEON]

Is Nash talking to a ref or a Celtic player ?

[RaisingArizona]

I had way too much time on my hands and I thought I'd try to incorporate a photoshop theme. I'm still new to it though so don't be harsh on me

[KopLegend]

it looks great ^

Coro says Nash has an inflammed pubic bone.....

Not sure how that happens, but my eternally juvenile mind won't let this rest

It would sure be nice to see an above average game from Nash. He's struggled a lot recently and it is so important for the Suns for him to be in the flow of he game. I'm really appreciating the Aaron Brooks trade more and more.

GO SUNS!!!

Need 25+ minutes for Brooks tonight.


Did anyone see the fLaker show flex their muscles in SanAnt...? A beat down. They are still the champs.

Please, let's not quote the idiots today.

......gonna be a tough game, but at least they won't have Perkins or Green, I guess.

And we're off. First salvo of the day. I thought a mod pleaded for civility.

That's not a salvo, just a request to make sure that shots ARENT fired and the thread ISN'T ruined.

I enjoy watching our own Arizona home grown product James Harden. We might be in the hunt for a good SG this summer, and Harden's name does come up as a player that OKC might trade if the deal was right. I seems like he is improving on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor, although to be honest he seems not to quite have yet lived up to expectations for the 3rd pick in the draft.

Even though I am a fan of his, I really do hope he sucks tonight.

GO SUNS!!

[CALPURNIA]

I also think this is an extremely important game to get into the POs.
This is winable (as all games), but we are in a situation where we can perfectly beat OKC with our stile of play and making them pay for a little lack of bench, while we have a very strong one.

I would like to see what Hill is able to do agains Durant. Also Dudley, Pietrus and Childress should have their minutes against him. The good thing is that we can rotate on defense and it is not a problem if the defender changes from one wing player to another. Even when Durant plays the 4.
Also I would like to see some tactics against Westbrook. Like putting a different man than Nash on him.
Then Steve can defend Maynor, although that is a big risk also.

We should take andantage of Gortat, Frye outside and López.
Also Pietrus and Dudley can post up, but not against Maynor, who is stronger than he seems.

Good gamethread, ginobiliflops. Hope you are a good charm as RvM is!

Hope we can win tonight, it won't be an easy task.

Btw, who is Nash talking to in the .gif located in the first post of this thread? If it was KG, he deserved it for sure!

[Nando88]

really wish Vince wasn't playing this game

[DRK]

Let's go Suns!
