In the Road Ahead on FSF, they typically show the teams star player; so sad that for the sun's they put the coach!!!!!

Another game to win after Sixers and Bulls ones. Should be a blowout and if it's not I'm gonna be disappointed.

Anyone selling tickets for this one? Thinking I might try and make it happen. I need some close seats for a change

In other news.....I bet we abuse them tomorrow and beat them by 10+.

Booker V Hezonja should be a good little showdown!

I was about to say the same thing. Everytime they show it during a game I'm like damn it's rough in Phoenix right now!!

Anyways, this SHOULD be a W. Especially in Orlando.

You know the routine though..... A repeat of the Chicago game would be nice.

I think it will be Victor vs Devin and Mario vs PJ Tucker.

Well, unfortunately Len destroys Vucevic (as do most centers)... We SHOULD win, but with this team you never know - one night they're beating a tough team and the next losing to Philly. I'm also betting Evan comes back because he hates to see Mario shine, I am curious as to why he doesn't like mario. (Speculation ofcourse, he[Evan] literally always ignores Mario on the floor).

I meant in terms of the two of them dropping 3pt bombs all game long. It could be like our own mini 3pt contest.

With the way Vuc has been playing lately he can have a bad night and still put up 20. Len ain't gonna take away his offensive game.

This is a must win. Plain and simple.

I thought Mario can score 30+ points anytime soon. My guess is, it will be tomorrow. :hoop:

No he won't, but Vooch can score 30 but he'll give up 32. He plays ~9 minutes of solid D a game and then just stops for some reason. Hopefuly he can focus on D in the offseason, not sure if it's conditioning or what, but if he gets average defense, he will be a top player in the league.

I remember when the Suns said that with their main guys injured, they were going to make Markieff option 1 and Booker option 2 and just let the young guys develop.

Well, Markieff got traded. Booker is the only one left. Let's hope Vic is locked in and then burns him on the other end of the floor.

23 points is hardly destroying anyone

Let me rephrase what I said: Last meeting Len killed Vooch, as do most opposing centers.

Len had 20 points and 14 rebounds against our starting center in our last meeting on 7-10 shooting (he averages 7.9 PPG, 6.6 RPG).

Well when the guy posts almost triple his season average on you i'd consider that pretty damn close. 7.9 PPG - 23 vs our starting center, that isn't something to be proud of.

Lets see if hes so cocky outside of talking stick arena 8-)
