Game day, let's get it! Gotta break this 4-game losing streak.

I think one key to the game will be Al Jeff returning to the lineup. If he's near 100% we will be way overmatched inside. Hopefully his minutes are limited...

Also Kemba Walker went off for 30 points the other night. Lock him down.

This is definitely a game we should win, but I would have said the same about the Sacramento games. Hopefully with Bledsoe back, we can get the W.

We should win this even if Bledsoe is out.

Everybody underestimates the Bobcats. But especially if you consider they haven't had Jefferson for many games they've played very solid to this point, especially at home. I expect a close one.

^ I agree, the Bobcats are way better than it might look on the surface. This one will be tough to win if Bledsoe is out, but hopefully the Suns will pull it off.

I wonder why...

OT: anyone know if this really happened?

Hopefully Big Al's minutes are limited tonight or else he is going to destroy our interior much in the same way Cousins did.

We absolutely have to limit our turnovers, the last two games have been terrible turning the ball over repeatedly.

And yes, that did happen. It was a world record attempt as well, which is why it was video taped and put on the news as well in AZ.

This should be a winnable game for the Suns.

So were the last two. Guess we'll have to see if the team wants to play a full 48 tonight or not. Sounds like Bledsoe won't be playing, but if they play hard, that shouldn't matter anyway.

Frye in foul trouble is a good thing!

Too many goddamned 3 point attempts. They aren't hitting any of them.
