We need to go 16-7 to have a decent chance of keeping with the Thunder. Basically need to win every game against sub-500 teams and pull off 5 or 6 upsets.

Big minutes to starters is the key.

Spurs are gonna be playing on their 2nd night of a back to back. They haven't looked that good lately either.

Bledsoe should be able to dominate Parker who has been awful since returning from injury, Bledsoe better take advantage.

Len will take a royal poopin' on the Spurs, 10 points 15 rebounds and 5 blocks. Phoenix will win and restore some faith on this board in the Suns making the playoffs.

Anyone know if Kieff got fined for his flop?

It will be a tough game for sure. If we can come out strong and aggressive from the jump ball like last night, we have a good chance.

I think they have lost 4 in a row. We are 3-4 games behind them right now. Spurs might be easier to catch than the Thunder.

Go Suns.

Pop plays deep rotation against Kings. Duncan enters the game last three minutes.

I'm seeing Philip Glass tonight, can't catch this one. Hope we can grind this one out

Are they gonna play in the new grey jerseys? Suns grey vs Spurs black might just be the most boring looking matchup in the history of the universe.

As long as we win, I don't care what the teams are wearing....well as long as they're wearing some clothes.

The whole team needs to show some fire for the second game in a row. Bledsoe needs to control the game. He should be better than Parker by this point!

Tony Parker has been playing straight up bad basketball recently - hopefully Bledsoe can take advantage of him.

I'll be looking to see if Pops switches Green or Kawai on to him. If that happens, Knight will have an opportunity to step up.

Either way, huge game, can't wait!

Revived · Post #19 » by **Revived** » Sun Mar 1, 2015 2:11 am

Len can't be picking up cheap fouls, boy needs to stay out of foul trouble for us to even have a chance.

GetYourPHX · Post #20 » by **GetYourPHX** » Sun Mar 1, 2015 2:15 am

Yep. Leonard on Bledsoe. Knight is going to have to step up and demand the ball in this one for the Suns to have a chance.
