This can easily be a trap game, they need to come out strong and keep their foot on the gas.

I see an uphill battle after a bad 2nd quarter and squeaking out one while expending a lot of energy.

Should absolutely be an easy win if we play anything like weve been playing the last 4 games.

Lets take em out early. They have no defensive what so ever.

According to Yahoo Mirza is sick and listed as questionable.

We should win this rather easily... or else...

JJ and Tele are both sick, and are both game-time decisions, apparently.

Really looking like this could be an upset...the team is hot, is at home, and is most likely looking ahead to Indiana...assuming JJ and Tele are out, we're probably going to have a healthy dose of Bogans, Stackhouse, and Brooks.

I think we need big games from D-Will and Lopez.

Brook should have a field day this game. This is definitely a winnable game if the team comes out focused, one game at a time so to speak. Not looking ahead. I've watched the Suns a few times (on the league pass) and surprisingly Dudley gets his baskets. If they can contain Dudley they should get the W; then be ready to focus on the Paul "Beast Mode" George Pacers.

That stinks about not having JJ and Tele possibly. I can't wait to start seeing Tele play more with Dwill and run the PnR.

I'm still confident about this team's status about going into this game tonight. Even with a quality starter and (soon to be) key bench player out, I still think we're firing on all cylinders now and it should be a 15 point win. As long as we get 4 solid quarters of 20+ point scoring, I say we win. We have a 14 point third quarter, we may be in trouble.

Even if both those guys are out, this would be an inexcusable loss. I wouldn't be having any meltdowns haha, but it would be a complete box of **** on fire it it happened.

Forget those negative thoughts though, let's get it!

If JJ is out the team will give more effort, making it not a trap game.

Keith Van Horn · Post #12 » by **Keith Van Horn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 6:45 pm

I think Deron is more confident now considering the winning as of late and the coaching change. If JJ's out, I think we may seem him eat up Dragic and go off for 30/10.

Paradise · Post #13 » by **Paradise** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 7:41 pm

Damn, this flu outbreak is no joke.

Good test for Deron through, we can see if he can take over without the help of Joe but I think we'll be fine. That means more Marshon and K-Bogus though. :roll:

MorShoot Bricks and Keith Bogus. :lol:

Brook and Tele's Excellent Adventure. Someone needs to jump on Photoshop!

I'm guessing Shengelia might get a few minutes too if Stackhouse, JJ. and Tele all can't go. Don't really think he's NBA ready, but I like his activity when he does play.

Missing Mirza is no biggie. i mean we'd all love to see him continue to see time and improve, but to this point he hasnt really had anything to do with our success, and there is absolutely 0 reason we shouldnt be able to beat a bad team without him.

Joe johnson is a different story. we can win without joe. pheonix wont beat us, fi we lose it is because we beat ourselves... which is scary because JJ out likely means big minutes for brooks, in addition to the big minutes blatche already gets, plus possibly extended minutes for bogan and maybe even (eek) deron at the 2 gaurd spot some.

that certainly increases the chances of us beating ourselves

Paradise · Post #17 » by **Paradise** » Sat Jan 12, 2013 12:09 am

Joe is playing. Mirza is out.

No Hump tonight either.

Shark · Post #19 » by **Shark** » Sat Jan 12, 2013 12:41 am

Big minutes for Evans then.
