Denver without 3 of their starters, playing back to back away.

Expect to win this fairly easily in the 2nd half.

How ironic that the only two players with a + rating for this game are our better defenders in Tucker and Price.

Either the Suns are that good or the Nuggets are that bad.

I knew it'd be a Ronnie Price 3 that would energize us.

They just beat Pacers away... Have a better record than the Suns even with Cousins missing 8 games.


They have a good coach (even if he's an ****) + a superstar. They should be better. They probably would have been better last year too if Boogie didn't miss a lot of time and that idiot front office didn't fire Malone.

It's a superstar's league. And if you don't have one, you better at least have a great coach like Boston or Dallas or Atlanta.

Well they probably should be. People here talk about how Cousins is a superstar, and Rondo has proved he can put up huge #s, Gay as well. Finally they have a vet successful coach.

But they will be up and down just like we are, because neither of us have all that smart of players. I mean I guess Rondo is smart at Connect 4, but so are many 5 year olds.

Scott Howard is a media journalist for BSOTS and he goes to every Suns home game and is live tweeting from the game (better view than us of the players during timeouts etc)

Nuggets are really shorthanded (without Gallinari and Mudiay)
but this late lineup (Price, Bledsoe, Knight, Tucker, Leuer) got really mad after the boos.

It's just always a game of runs. It's nice we made it while we are trying new lineups at this point. I just am not sure why Booker hasn't played. There has to be some legit reason behind that, since Horny believes in him enough to have started him last game.

Knight on pace for 30 pts and 10 assists.

Remember when I talked about using these games vs Denver and Philly to raise trade value of players...no surprise that the smartest guy of the team (4.0 GPA through high school and college) is taking advantage.

Not sure, i feel like Horny just didnt find the right time for him to get in the game.

Down 6 at haltime is great...I can not believe that I'm saying that, but it's true.

With some effort we win this game. Come on!

Not really all that ironic. It usually happens all the time. But some people just look at pts, rebounds and assists, and determine who is good and who sucks. They probably have never read that stuff about the Battier factor (who never put up great stats but always made a huge difference being on the court in other ways). It's the off the court stuff.

I don't think it's a coincidence that they only people other than Horny that have called the team out to the press saying they just don't execute what they are supposed to do. They both basically said it's not like Horny doesn't preach it every day, but that guys just lose their train of thought, break down, lose confidence, don't communicate, or whatever during games.

Oh my goodness. I certainly hope he keeps his mouth shut for this round of boo's. If he were to call out the crowd for booing at this point I think there would be a riot.
