No Booker tonight, as expected.

Curious to see who starts a center tonight. Chandler doesn't usually play back to backs, but Monroe is gone, Len barely played last night, and I don't know that they'd starter Bender/Chriss together yet.

Well with Chandler out, we should see plenty of Bender at C playing with Chriss, which will be fun, interesting, yet possibly/probably ugly to watch as they work it out. But I'm glad they are starting to work with it to see how it goes.

Aldridge and 4 random guys from the street can win this game for the Spurs tonight.

Suns get more national TV games when we suck than back when we were good.

I’d blame Stern for trying to embarrass Robert Sarver but Stern isn’t even the one in charge anymore

Alridge is gonna get one, if not both of them in foul trouble early in the game itself most likely.

By the way, I've told BombsquadSammy, a fellow GB mod, to feel free to post in our thread...I know a Spurs fan...but he's as good natured as pelifan.....but basically wanted to let you know in case he shows up that he's not a troll...and there could be others, since their forum is dead, but I doubt it...not even sure he will post.

No, I'm pretty sure we got like 4-5x as many during the Nash years...maybe not the first one because it was a surprise, but after that.

We've only had like 3 or 4 this year unless you count nbatv which few people have.

Anyone else tired of watching the clips of when the suns were a great team? Then we get to watch whatever the hell they are now right after.

This will be a rough one though with 3 20 year olds and Ulis. Poor Warren....he may have a rough night...hopefully the other guys get the pass to him when he's putting himself in the right position.

I do expect a big loss though....not only because of the lineup and the team we are going against, but on a b2b.

Also that crowd sounded really stoked to see the spurs. Does every team have more fans in Phoenix than Phoenix has in phoenix?

Pretty sure the Spurs played last night too so that's not a valid excuse tonight. And they traveled.

Well I usually have it on for a while after and see them, so it's a nice memory and I enjoy it. Like last night they repeatedly went over Raja Bell clotheslining Kobe, and even had interviews with everyone about it...even Kobe.
