this will be ugly,,.Not much hope for tonight. Athleticism vs age and Perkins on Gortat will be destructive to our SNON (Steve Nash or Nothing) system.

We play Wednesday not tonight bro. It gives us few days to relax then get killed. I hope I'm wrong. :cry:

Phoenix (17-20)
Pace: 94.4 (13), Off: 100.2 (17), Def: 101.9 (18)

The Suns won five of their six games on a bisected homestand, allowing just 92 points per 100 possessions in the five wins. And after they visit Oklahoma City on Wednesday, they're back at home for six of their next seven. Marcin Gortat put up 32 points and 31 boards over two weekend wins.

Let's go SUNS

Tough road game against a young, athletic team that will try to run us out of the building. We need to play slow and tough defensively, really need our bigs to go off as Nash will be hounded all night long.

Not overly confident about this game, both teams should be rested with us having 2 nights off and OKC having one off. I expect OKC to win by 10-15 points.

If it gets ugly, I expect us to pull the starters and rest them for the back-to-back against Dallas on national television. Dallas looks much more vulnerable than OKC anyways. :lol:

Our feel good 3 win streak is over. We are going to get crushed hopefully.

Not against us. They always kill us.

Come on now, never hope for a team you root for to lose. :wavefinger:

And we aren't going to lose, because Hill will guard both KD and RW.

This is a throw away season. I'd rather root to win a good chance at having a potential franchise player in next years draft. Which means rooting to lose these meaningless games; for gods sake we arent even going to make the playoffs and Nash wont be around for long.

It's not rocket surgery.

But you're basing all of this on a bunch of assumptions. With so any Debbie Downers around here, I just hate seeing guys "hope" for us to lose. I think it may be time for a name change, your blood might have changed colors. :lol:
