730 west, 1030 east on NBATV and PT

Suns are 14-14 on the road, Clippers are 26-5 at home
Suns are 5-5 in the last 10, and currently tied w Memphis for the 8 seed
Clippers are 8-2 in the last 10, and currently the 4 seed

Redick, Crawford are out
Bledsoe is out

Spurs, Thunder, Rockets, Blazers are all off today. We are 3 back of the 1 seed, 2.5 back of the 2 seed, .5 back of the 3 seed, 1.5 ahead of the 4 seed.

Hopefully we come out and play better tonight than we did vs. Atlanta. We play like that tonight, and we will lose.

Nice surprise its on NBATV, I had completely forgotten until just now :peace:

let's match their intensity from the outset.

theyre going to be hungry after their loss at GSW and falling to the 9th seed.

There is absolutely no excuse for not being fully focused right now. Atlanta almost had us, so another lackluster effort would be troubling. Everyone knows by now that the Suns are tough, even on a back-to-back. Sure, we got that hard-fought win in Phoenix recently, but let's not forget about the whooping from the first game.

Also, the top 5 WC teams are closer than ever. We are no longer fighting just to protect that 3rd-4th seed, there's a reasonable chance to finish 2nd, maybe even 1st. It's hard to believe that both the Spurs and OKC will lay that many eggs in this final stretch, but looking at our upcoming schedule, the opportunity is definitely there.

I really hope everyone is up to the task tonight and against GS, cause after that we have six more highly winnable games. Just take them one at a time and put together a nice little streak.

meh, i expect a blow out, early and often. our starters shouldn't even have to play the second half imo.

the Suns has little incentives too, this being the second night of back to back, against a tougher team than the last nights loss, but have weak schedule following us and they could potentially go on a 11 game winning streak against the likes of lakers, wizards, cleveland, pistons, etc etc....

Both teams hungry for redemption from the previous games and the Suns to stay in the hunt.

Wish we weren't playing these guys tonight, another loss for them helps Memphis get into the playoffs. Don't get me wrong I hope we win by 20, I would just love to see Memphis on the sidelines during the entire post season.

I've read that USA has changed its local time. So, the point is... will the match start in 30 minutes from now or an hour and a half?

3:07 now in Barcelona. This could be the difference between falling asleep or try to watch the game... :p

Weak foul by Blake. If that's all you're going to do, you should just say let him go and be done with it.

you know, as Darren Collison has filled in the starter role just fine as of late, i wonder what if we followed DTS' gut instinct rather than going with Doc's trade. Dudley has done little to nothing for us, JJ while great for us when healthy, he has been struggling to be on the floor for some time and yet here we are, winning with Jamal starting, or Darren starting.

what if we kept bledsoe and amnestied Butler? we could have had 10 million in capspace to sign someone like JJ still, and yet hang on to a defensive ace like bledsoe to start next to Paul like another 6 footer Collison is doing now. sure we substitute some offense (bledsoe's lack of range) for defense (Darren flat out sucks in D) but if Jamal was the starter, i can see the trio of Jamal CP and Bled working out just as well as the current rotation.

just a thought.

that's because you are young, don't have wife or kids, and possibly because you are white.... i hear most white people are vampires and nocturnal and ****.... i have asked my cousins about this and they say they don't know because they are only half white.... :wink:
