Can we win two in a row? One thing we know, this Brooklyn team is coached well and always plays hard. Plus it's Jared Dudley's revenge game!

Ok, one more time I need everyone to think and feel positive about this game! It's a very winnable game guys. Send your prayers.

Jared Dudley is a mole. Sabotage will commence in the 4th quarter.

This is a game we should win.
We don’t get to say that. Not with our record. I don’t care if it’s the Cavs coming into town with all five starters on ice, we still don’t say it. No saying “this is a game we should win,” about anybody, until we hit .350 at the very least, OK?

I agree. There are no games we should win until we are playing well consistently.

OK. You're right. Fixed.

Here's what I'll watch for:

How do Ayton and the boys handle the quickness and mobility of the Nets? Can Ayton take advantage of his size advantage against these guys? Can we get a pass through their defenders? Can we recognize and rotate in time?

Let's see Booker get more used to his teammates and maybe have a couple of nice pick and role possessions.

Minutes for Mikal, and how does he follow up his great 4th quarter.

Minutes for Okobo.

Please, let's see just one fast break.

I, for one, can't wait to see the matchup between new star Ryan Anderson and our old scapegoat Jared Dudley. Should be epic.

Here's my only prediction for the game: Anderson + Dudley will finish the game with more rebounds and more assists than Warren + Jackson.

He should stop finding ways to fall down, for a good professional athlete, he spends a lot of time on the ground.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

Running "joke" with me and my son. We are amused every time he falls down for seemingly no reason at all. Seems like several times every game.

This one was on my 1Q list of winnable games. The Nets seem to play to their competition pretty often, and they have a back-to-back coming up with Denver and Golden State. I think they'll come out playing well to start the game, but will lose some fire as the game goes on because they're playing in a half filled arena (at best).

I'm seeing Brooklyn as a 1.5 point favorite online. Give me the underdog! Suns 114, Nets 109.

Can they get him some body armour/padding?

Hopefully Dudley gets a very warm reception tonight. Quick Hands is one of my favorite Suns players all-time.

Um... nice shirts?

And... why is Anderson starting? What does he contribute?

They are leaving Ayton wide open at the top of the key. It took him a couple of possessions to get comfortable, but now he's scored on his last 2 touches.

4 shot attempts for Ayton in first 5 minutes.

4 shot attempts for Ayton the entire Grizzlies game.
