It's probably a good thing for the Suns that they're hitting the road. They had a miserable home stand. Let's hope they have some energy tonight. This is a team we should beat and we owe them. The Suns are in a real funk right now though so anything could happen. How about some ball movement and turnovers no higher than the low to mid teens?

Go Suns!!!

Excited to scout future Sun Gerald Henderson tonight!

This season is a little glum for us so far, but if you want to feel better about the Suns, just look at this year's Hornets. Expectations were high for them this year: new team name, a new semi-hot FA signing in Lance Stephenson, ... They had plenty of reasons to expect that they'd be a playoff team and maybe take a leap. Instead they're well out of the playoffs right now, even in the dreadful East. Lance has been a disaster for them and will probably get traded. What a mess.

No game is a guaranteed win for us these days, but I'd like to think we will pull this one out. I always like our chances against teams that don't shoot very well, and the Hornets are one such team.

I don't care what anyone says, that's a catchy ass tune lol.

[Superbone]

Better than getting rick rolled, Indy.

[Mori Chu]

That's debatable.

Side comment: Why is all popular music these days either unlistenable rap or unlistenable pop music made by 13-year-old sluts?

I don't think I have bought a "pop" album/cd/whatever since the late 80s, and I am not saying it was better then. And I don't know much about it today, except what I learn from the kids in my family, but I don't think I would consider Taylor Swift slutty. I have only seen a couple things from my kids and my nieces, though.

[carey]

Taylor Swift isn't slutty and I think that's a gross generalization of popular music. You sound like an old man there, Mori.

[Superbone]

Old Man Mori. Kinda has a ring to it.

(Too bad the Suns don't.)

Geez, Mori, you sound like a couple of my Bible-thumpin' aunts.

[Superbone]

Dragic is "probable" for tonight.

[EDC]

Len needs to stop moving on those screens. He is lucky he hasn't been called for the offensive foul. No need to move big guy just set the pick and hold it.

[Cap]

Jefferson having an easy time against both Len and Plumlee.

Jefferson having an easy time against both Len and Plumlee.

You expected differently?

[Cap]

I wasn't quite expecting 18 points on 8-10 FG in the first quarter.

[specialsauce]

I'm still waiting for Hornacek to do ANYTHING different. ANYTHING at all.

Do we even have a coach?

We roll out the same rotation and do the same bullshit every game. Yeah we changed Plumlee for Len, probably 10 games too late, but come on....can we get TJ, Tyler, Zoran??

Can we run some new wrinkles to our plays? Maybe go to the post more? Anything other than just pick-and-roll and iso?

Just show me that you're trying to figure something out. Otherwise we should just have McDonough be our HC from the box suites.

[carey]

Jesus man, down 15 to the Hornets. This team just doesn't have it. Not quite the buzzkill that was the '12-'13 Suns but these guys are just lacking that... je ne sais quoi.

[specialsauce]

Jeff just went to......

IT/Bledsoe/Dragic/Green/PJ .....with Al Jefferson on the floor.
