Take two.

[Saberestar]

With Nash introduction I really want to win this one. BADLY.
Hopefully we play 10 guys at most and we can control the pace of the game.

Lillard/ C.J. McCollum are an amazing backcourt, they can put a ton of pressure on us with their playmaking and scoring ability.

[Saberestar]

Double post.

[RaisingArizona]

They should sign Nash to a one day contract so he can get some game time action in again.

The game is not even sold out. There are still a lot of tickets available. Who would have thought something like that years ago. The arena not being full for Steve Nash Ring of Honor night. Unfathomable. Goes to show how unenthusiastic this city is for the team. Nash is not suiting up. There is no one on their way to help this team. And of course the worst part is that Nash works for the Warriors now.

Driving back from Cali Friday morning just to go see Nash's induction in the ROH.

So Excited!

If Suns will lose this they should fire Hornacek and trade everybody older than 25 years.

[SunsRback4Good]

At the end of the day Its always Hornacek's fault.

Because it's kind of transparent. If you hold this ceremony 10 years from now it's packed and you wouldn't be able to get tickets anywhere. But he just retired.. having it this early seems like a way to put butts in seats and considering the product that the organization is putting out.... well, you get the idea.

That said, I'd totally go if I still lived in Phoenix.

Well it isn't like we have a great home crowd, and many are probably gearing up for Halloween parties.

I hope we tighten up the rotation tomorrow.

This. Although Hornacek said that part of the reason why all 13 played yesterday was because of foul trouble. Which is weird because we saw Ronnie Price play for no apparent reason.

Well both Bledsoe and Knight has 4 fouls so I guess it depends on who you want handling the ball. Perhaps at that point he was just seeing what the players would do and how hard they would all play despite the circumstances. When you are losing that badly, why not play everyone?

The thing is that he played everyone in the first 18 minutes of the game, not when we were losing big time in the second half. We were tied at that point, and I saw no reason to put all our entire roster on the court even with some foul trouble.

It was weird at least...probably he promised that to the team for the first game or something like that.IDK.

[RaisingArizona]

Why is Chandler an "X"? No wonder we can't compete. We need a real Center.

What section are you gonna be in man? I'm up in the nosebleeds, sec 206.

[SunsRback4Good]

It's time to play Suns ball and finally get to .500.

[KLEON]

I didn't know Mason Plumlee move to the Blazers.
