Ah just our luck.

Seriously though, the Cavs haven't been that great with or without LeBron. This is the best opportunity for the Suns to beat a LeBron James led team for the first time in over 8 years.

Judging by how we've played lately though, this will probably be a close loss with maybe LeBron or Kyrie drilling the game winner at the buzzer. Another moral victory, our 10 or 12th one this season.

JR Smith starts on the Cavs now?

Will be interesting to see how there's enough shots for him, Love, Kyrie and LBJ.

He started last game so I assume he starts again. Sometimes I forget that Shawn Marion is on that Cavs team. I miss him, Barbosa and Amare wish they were still here in Phoenix.

Yey, playing against Lebron after this Ohio St. colossal win?
Not good...

Let's hope he doesnt play at all.

I miss him, Nash & Amare.

I read an article today that Amare intends to sign for cheap to remain in Ny after this season...made me sad

We better take care of this one. I thought Simmons tweet was interesting (though I disagree with him probably about 80% of the time, but I still find him semi-interesting to read, but not nearly as funny as he used to be), and I know some think Love is not worth getting because he is not a winner, but I still believe he would fit perfectly on our team and give us exactly what we need (though I don't know that I would give up assets for him because I think he would bolt for the Lakers or somewhere in the offseason).

Anyway, Simmons tweet....

Oops I knew That I forgot to include someone on my list. And I also miss our 2010 bench that had Frye, Dudley, barbosa, Dragic and Amundson. There was no greed between those players and they had insane chemistry on the court. I think that years bench could beat this years Suns starters. Lol

There's no question imo.

McD and Hornacek should rewatch that year's team so they can see what an unselfish team looks like.

If you had told me that the Suns would have a better record then the Lebron/Irving/Love Cavs at the begging on the year, I would have **** my pants.

Revived · Post #12 » by **Revived** » Tue Jan 13, 2015 9:42 am

LeBron, Love and Kyrie remind me of the Laker dream team of Kobe, Nash, Gasol and Dwight.

BurningHeart · Post #13 » by **BurningHeart** » Tue Jan 13, 2015 9:53 am

This game *screams* "LeBron comes back, tears it up, Cavs destroy us, and then go on a 10 game winning streak to shut everyone up who falls into the same regular season trap every year over the Spurs' supposed age, a LeBron-led team looking lackluster, etc."

Absolutely screams it.

Hopefully that ends up not being the case.

sunstrooper · Post #14 » by **sunstrooper** » Tue Jan 13, 2015 11:15 am

One thing is for sure - Len, PJ, Morris and Dragic will be in foul trouble the whole game. I think at least 3 Suns players will foul-out until the game is over.

We have to come out hard. Losing another overtime game after losing a game with a huge lead, our guys have to come out hungry.

I really hope Bledsoe turns up his defense on Kyrie. Show us why you are worth it.

Really? I'm sure we've beaten his team(s) a few times. Bosh is the one that lit us up all the time when we faced Miami. Or are you saying you don't remember watching a game where we beat Lebron?
