Why would we wait so long to take a timeout when they were white hot from 3?

Is there any kind of team we are actually good against? Small teams, big teams, strong teams, fast teams, athletic teams? What is a team this team is well built to beat in a matchup?

Maybe, but all the hand checking and physical D you used to be able to play would probably rattle these Suns.

It was the second of back-to-back, so I knew they would lose.
One can schedule the Suns to play a juco team on the second of a back-to-back, and Phoenix would still lose.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

You were WAY too conservative, man! Whereas I was just foolhardy.

Yeah I looked at everyone else’s predictions and saw it right there for the taking. :twisted: What’s crazy is that still none of us thought we would lose by as many points as we did.

Um, can I just say that's cheating? :) The idea is to make your prediction without looking at others, thus the spoiler tags. Caught ya!
