It's not easy to lose 5 in a row. Now that we're out of that ridiculous 4 games in 5 nights stretch, we'll see just how bad this team wants to be.

R.Kelly probable for tomorrow. No more Sacre hopefully? Especially against a small team like Phoenix.

If Hill and Davis can be double-double machines night in and night out... if Johnson can figure out how to defend and still keep people honest by making more of his Js than he misses... if Lin and Kobe can find a balance with how they each facilitate, defend and score... And if Boozer can be consistent on Offense while actually slowing anybody at all down on D...
I think we'll be an over 500 team... But we have a ways to go for that to happen.

I can see us beating Charlotte with 4 rest days. That's the earliest win possible.

Boozer needs to close out on the Twins' three point shooting better. With some rests, reflection and practice I expect Lin to play better this game.


Meanwhile, the Suns just got better, a tough wing defender's back:

http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantas ... -the-bench
Suns forward P.J. Tucker will return from a three-game suspension Tuesday against the Lakers. Coach Jeff Hornacek told reporters that Tucker will make his season debut off the bench due to the recent success of power forward Marcus Morris, per the Arizona Republic. Tucker averaged 9.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game last season.

Thanks for the honesty.

Phoenix has a very young decent team. If this squad sticks together, how long far can they go? I feel that they are a second round exit a best.

they still look like one and dones

phoenix at the moment are flush with young talent and picks, their big issue right now is needing to parlay a few of these assets into a legit star

something i think they wiffed on when they didn't entertain the bledsoe for love trade, but who could blame them after seeing the lakers lose dwight for nothing?

Our first win probably won't come until the 12th against the Pelicans. Maybe the Grizzles if Kobe can play at a high level.

Mudiay! Mudiay!

Scott needs to realize this team is bad, just start Davis. He's probably the only big guy who gives a damn about and can actually play defense on this team.

I really don't know why you guys are getting excited about Kelly's return. It's not like he's going to improve our D.
