Post by Superbone »

Time: 6:00 pm Arizona (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: US Airways Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: FSAZ, NBALP

The Warriors come into town as the last remaining undefeated team in the NBA. The Suns are reeling after a couple home losses in a row. I believe Warren has been cleared to play tonight.

Go Suns!!!

Need Bled/Gogi to step up in a big way tonight, or we'll lose. I expect Draymond Green to have a good game because it seems all those 3-4 tweener hustle types play well vs us.

Also, hope Horny takes the handcuffs back off Thomas, he was dreadful last game out.

I think we'll go ok in this one. Bogut's a good defensive big man, but our bigs don't do much on offense so that won't be a major impact on the way we play. We obviously need our guards to play at their best to match Curry and Thompson, but we've got the firepower to do that, potentially.
If nothing else, it should be an entertaining game.

Apparently, Thomas just lost his grandfather before the last game. That I'm sure contributed big time. My condolences to him and his family.

Sorry to hear about loss of your grandfather, IT.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

If the Suns play with a lot of energy, passion and determinations from start to end, this game should be a fun game to watch.

Go Suns!!

Warriors coming off a tough game last night vs Houston. Heavy mins for Bogut and Curry.

I think the suns, being the fresher team, win this one.

Suns 111
Warriors 101

It sure would be nice to be the team that finally puts a blemish on their record.

I feel like we might do better in this game than expected. We have lost some tough ones lately, but I think the kinds of teams we are worst against are ones with strong/tall/bulky offensive bigs who can punish our undersized front line. Gladiator made a similar comment. The Warriors have a somewhat weak big-man rotation other than Bogut who's primarily a defensive player. Their perimeter D is very good, though, so that may make things harder for our guards and wings. I think we can keep this one close and bring it down to the last few plays.

The Suns will win in DOMINATING FASHION! When Steve Kerr goes to sleep tonight he will reminisce about his time with the Suns and wonder what could have been. A tear will slowly run down his cheek as he finally closes his eyes in sadness. The thought of regret will plague his this thoughts for many nights to come.

No Klay Thompson tonight. I don't know whether to feel bummed or pleased. Bummed because I was looking forward to seeing something epic, pleased because it gives us a better chance to win.

Dragic on fire! Where is everyone?

IT and Barbosa matched up now. This should be fun.

That would have been an easy dunk for Len. Instead we get the circus shot.
