Heat-Suns Preview

After a difficult three-game trip against some of the top teams in the Western Conference, the Phoenix Suns' schedule is easing up as they return home.
That might not sound quite right against Miami, but it certainly fits given the Heat's recent form as they prepare for Tuesday night's visit to Phoenix.

Tough loss last night, but an awesome game. The Suns will have some tired legs. Probably see more of the bench tonight. No more 1st quarter slow starts.

To be expected we look flat.

I highly suspect that IT has already been traded. And if I had to guess the trade partner, I'd guess Chicago. The very first game IT sat out, EJ made a comment about how much IT loves to play, saying that a team like Chicago could really use him. Not only could Chicago use the firepower, but they also happen to be the only team in the league with 4 quality bigs - two of whom have salaries in IT's range.

Interestingly, there have also been rumblings of Gerald Green to Chicago. Chicago's loaded with assets I covet. I'm drooling for Butler, and would move Dragic AS WELL AS Thomas in a deal for him, but alas, he won't be moved. But they're owed first round picks from Cleveland and Sacramento, and I'd love to get my hands on Nikola Mirotic.

Chicago is an ideal trade partner for us, imo.

Ankle bruise? 8 games? Sure seems that way.

Ennis giving quality minutes, good to see.

Ennis looks so smooth with the ball, I enjoy watching him play.

Good to see Ennis playing

Len working on taking the starting spot away from Plumlee, he has his 3rd block already.

Ennis-Green-Mook-Tolliver-Len with the big run!

Tolliver is adapting to the gameplan, finally.

Plumdog is killing us.

ETA: After I post that, he makes the emphatic block!

EATA: Then dribbles it off his foot.

Len won the starting job from Plumlee the first week of the season.

Hornacek is just being stubborn.

One could only hope...

Points in paint: Miami 42 - 20 Phoenix

Damn, my stream just cut out. Gaaaah.

It's nice watching Tolliver play and not having the urge to kill myself. He could be a nice little addition to the rotation.

Then again, Tolliver's taking minutes away from future MVP TJ Warren.

Yeah, I think this is the type of game TJ could really help us in. I like what Tolliver is doing this game, but TJ should really be getting his minutes. These back to backs are when the young guys could really provide a spark.

Watching the Heat feed and they keep calling him "Drah-jick." God damn it.

4 blocks for Len.
