Swe_Suns I was going make a game thread but its fine as long as we keep winning I can't complain. Same lucky good luck charm again I love it bud. We can't afford to lose to Spurs again can we for once shut this guys down in a regular season game?

And San Antonio is not in AZ, although they wish they could be, :lol:

Another big game, we'll see if Pops decided to rest anybody against us. Hope Telfair turns in a Dragic-like performance and absolutely abuses the Spurs second unit this time around.

Because these are meaningful games in the West, not to mention its us versus the Spurs.

Because the NBA people took away all our TNT games and ESPN games back when were 13-18...then when we crept back into the playoff race they added some of our games to ESPN while dropping games for teams that were hyped up yet not performing that well, T-Wolves, Blazers etc.

I hope Pop makes it public if he is gonna play Parker or not so i can adjust my fantasy lineup! Playing for the championship this week and cant have any mistakes!

but above fantasy bball, i hope the suns come out hungry and set the tone early! it will be challenging but we can do it!

This is another must win. If we can't beat either the Spurs or OKC, while we are playing well, then making the playoffs is pretty worthless.

But if we can win one in the second half of the season against one of those two, it gives us hope to steal a few or upset one of the top seeded teams.

IMO, key to winning this game will be Gentry's substitutions. After two straight games in which he pulled the bench too early and the starters stunk, let's see if Gentry repeats the same mistake again.

We won't win this game, we all know it. This loss won't hurt as much because Houston and Denver will play each other back-two-back.

great game thread. if maybe just maybe we can pull off the upset, we'll be in great shape. Can't wait for this game!!!

I'm waiting for the day we'll become friends. :lol:

I want to see some J-Chill tonight. I think we could use some of his defense against Ginobili/Jackson/Diaw off the bench.

Revived · Post #19 » by **Revived** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 9:22 pm

I'm very worried about Bonner. Morris usually sucks defensively against stretch 4s, (he got killed by Anderson, Harrington, etc) I hope he actually stays close to Bonner cause he can kill us from 3pt distance.
