Post by Superbone »

Early start tomorrow. Getting this up early. We've got 9 of our last 13 on the road. It's gonna be tough but the team's gotta take them one at a time. We're going to need to win this one.

Go Suns!!!

If we lose this one, I say sit Dragic and let him rest his battered body - if we win this one, we need to just go for broke.

Every time I root for something good to happen it doesn't, so go Minnesota!

This is a must-win for Minnesota if they want any shot at all for the playoffs.

I would be shocked if Minnesota was able to go on a run to make the playoffs. I basically think it's coming down to some combination of us, Dallas, and Memphis. Thankfully, Memphis seems to have cooled off at least a little bit. I think if we can go about .600 the rest of the way, I think we'll barely squeeze out Memphis or Dallas.

Should be a good game, both teams need a win. And it's only 8.30 PM :-) I hope for a great Sunday evening so the Suns better not let me down here.

The Suns look really sluggish - despite making their first five shots they've fallen behind because of poor perimeter defense and careless ballhandling.

Bledsoe still waiting for his wakeup call.

The rest of the team is playing so well that Coach has decided that Len shouldn't get any minutes. Great...

Rebounding has really been killing us this last half of the season. I would think fixing that problem would be priority number one in the offseason.

Adding talent to the frontcourt has to be priority #1, but a live body who can rebound would be nice.

I'm about a half hour behind but the Suns are getting absolutely punked.

I wouldn't mind taking a chance on Okafor after his contract is up this season.
