The Pelicans have a renewed sense of self-worth after defeating the Spurs in their last outing while the Suns are coming off a mile high after rallying from 17 down to defeat the Nuggets in Denver.

Go Suns!!!

Not sure I'll be at this one. Going to look on stubhub and seatgeek to see if I can get a good deal. I'm too old to walk all the way up to the 3rd deck on one leg and too cheap to pay $150 for a ticket. I might be able to get lower level corner for like $60 though. We'll see.

Anyway, about the game. The Suns haven't played well here recently. Our guards should be able to go off against these guys. We're also very familiar with Ish Smith so I hope we abuse him and force him to make 20 footers. We also need to be physical with AD. Keep him from getting to his spots early and it knocks him off his game a bit. I'd start Leuer and put him on AD early.

I see the Pels taking this one. We'll return the fvor in a few days, but their not nearly as bad as their 2-11 record would indicate and they just played their best gm of the yr vs SA.

If we were to win we have to punish their backcourt.

I think we're the better team, but it's not the best time to be facing them, since they'll be on a high from their last victory. I don't think they can keep up with Bledsoe and Knight, so our backcourt should have a big scoring night.

Knight is expected to play Sunday night after suffering a mild left ankle sprain Friday and returning to finish a career-high 38-point performance, including 17 fourth-quarter points. Knight is averaging 27.8 points, 5.8 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals in the past five games.

This game could have big implications at the end of the season. Would be an important win.

Booker looking good, though he has missed a couple of shots I'd expect him to make.

I like him posting up Ish Smith. :)

Should have given Len a try at Anthony then pull him if he can't keep up. I hate when we just go small because the other team does. We can make them pay on the boards and defense.

Bleds playing terrific. 14p/6a/5r/2s with three minutes to play in the half. On pace to join Magic, Pistol Pete, Russell Westbrook and AASE.

Man, BK is so hot and cold... I guess this means we can expect a scoring explosion against the Spurs tomorrow night.
