Keys to the game!!!

1. Rebound
2. Make your free throws
3. Less Turnovers
4. Bench

If we can do those we have great chance to win on the road and get within a game of the rockets.

GOOOOOOO SUNS!!!

I love that Shannon Brown pic. And whats up with you always using that Gortat pic where he looks like he's a choker? I mean granted he doesnt play great in the 4th QTR, but come on man!

I hope Nash isnt passive against Dragic and actually looks to score rather than just passing every time. Anyone know if Grant is supposed to start today?

And this game will be a lot different from the last time we played them. Camby starts for them now which expect Houston to kill us on second chance pts.

Denver plays in LA. If they lose and we win, we'll be 1 game behind both HOU and DEN...

Denver has the tiebreaker so we would actually be 2 games behind them (unless Utah, Denver and Phoenix all end up with identical records).

Yeah, but we still have one game left against Denver to play + Denver will play Houston 2 more times. Everything is in our hands. We have to finish the season 6-2 to make playoffs (must-win games: @HOU, vs DEN, @UTA).

Paul Coro ‏ @paulcoro

Grant Hill will play tonight at Houston. His white jersey at shootaround indicates he's coming off the bench for the first time since 2008.

Kurt Rambis?! Why can't we get guys like van Gundy or Brown for at least one time. No he get Bowen, Rambis and Barry.

And you guys are asking why I want Garnett as our PF next season, He will eat our players if they don't rebound the ball and forget how to defend.
