this is a winnable game, hopefully they actually win it

Is Plumlee really still starting? Same with Marcus?

I thought Hornacek said after the 1st game that he'll keep it going since we're winning but that he'll looking to changing it if we don't.

We should be able to come back with a positive record after this road trip.

A really tough game coming. Boston is a potential Conference finalist this year so no doubt Suns have to play their best game so far this season.

Well hopefully three of our starters won't go 3-26 combined.

Since TJ is joining us on this road trip, it would be nice to see him get some minutes. Maybe a bench unit of IT, Green, PJ, TJ, Len. We also need to start off with some sort of set play for Green when he comes into the game. A back screen that sets him up for an alley-oop. Get his confidence rolling early. That way he doesn't chuck first, and ask questions later.

Have u watch their games? A little bit more confidence and would easily be 6-2 season start. Very deep roster if Rondo healthy. This year Atlanta.

The tank was on as soon as we signed 17 guards and left Plumlee and the Morri to fend for themselves. Len shows promise but he needs more time and can't do it alone....no offense to Tolliver but he makes Frye look like a stud by comparison.

Can Gerald Green start so we can blow out a team?

That is a bad idea cause Id hate to see Green take 22+ shots as a starter while everybody else takes under 13 shots. Hornacek keeps using the same lineup for 10 games now and I wish he can change it up cause its not working. How about trying Plumlee/Mark. Morris/Tucker/Bledsoe/Dragic we don't need two Morris's jacking up 3's at least if we insert Tucker our defense improves and we let Dragic/Bledsoe do their thang.

It'll be interesting to watch how we guard Olynyk and Sullinger on the perimeter. Both can shoot the 3. Guard matchups are interesting as well.

Had Boston not lost those games, they'd be undefeated right now! A team for the ages.

One of those times that I'm glad I'll be listening Albert/Drysdale.
