“They’re a great team,” Suns guard Eric Bledsoe said. “We’re a good team too. We’re ready for any team. We just got to come out and play the whole game.”

“We’re not where we need to be,” said Chandler, who came off the bench for the past two games after an eight-game absence with a hamstring strain. “We’ve got to be honest with ourselves. The biggest thing is understanding how to play as a team. We have a lot of talented individuals but that’s what we are. Until we break through that and come every single night looking like a team, we’re in for some tough battles. You can’t do it individually in this league.”

“It shouldn’t be so much about what other teams are doing, compared to what we’re trying to accomplish,” Chandler said. “Right now, I think that’s too big of a focus.”

Suns general manager Ryan McDonough talked to guard Sonny Weems after Sunday’s home win, telling him to stay ready for an upcoming chance.

Well, judging from the fact that Archie dose not get a chance to play either, I would have to say Tucker.

Easy win. Blowout after the 3rd to get archie and booker all the minutes in the 4th

Archie will score 20 in garbage time against this dummies.

So Warriors will be looking to destroy us after they lost their streak. =/

I hope we have Bledsoe stay on Curry at all times, and he does not rotate off on help defense. Just stay on Curry for 36 minutes this game and not let him ever get an open shot. If they rub Bledsoe off on a screen and Curry jacks a quick 3, then so be it. However to rotate off of Curry on help defense, then a quick pass to Curry for the 3 is the way we lose this game.

Also, have Tucker do the same on Klay Thompson.

Easy win for who? GSW will be at home (unbeaten there) pissed off and wanting a new streak... players will be healthy,rested up. I expect Curry gets to sit on the bench the last 10 min. :wavefinger:

GSW does not tend to lose ON THE ROAD. At HOME? :lol:

Just don't get sh*t on like last time. That's all I ask.

Tyson Chandler is expected to return to the starting lineup tonight after returning to action for the past two games off the bench

“Most likely, he’ll be there,” Hornacek said of Chandler in the starting lineup. “If not tonight, then probably next game (Friday vs. New Orleans)."

I don't bother with Green Text and I don't much give a damn what you do or don't believe in. I say it like I think it. I LIKE the little yellow faces :beer:

Are the Suns almost unbeatable ON THE ROAD? Maybe I missed that? :dontknow:

Anyhow... good luck in your NEXT game.

I just hope they don't make 15 threes in a half this time.

grumpysaddle · Post #19 » by **grumpysaddle** » Thu Dec 17, 2015 3:42 am

Oh ****... Not only is this game not on LP, but now i have to listen to **** Mark Jackson. Why do they continue to put him on Warriors' games. I want to cut my ears off.

Cutter · Post #20 » by **Cutter** » Thu Dec 17, 2015 3:43 am

Suns cannot do lob passes at all.
