Look for Bledsoe to have a big game as he often does when playing his former team.

Go Suns!!!

A back-to-back already! I think the Clips are going to be a very good team this year. People kind of write them off as being good but not great. But I really like how they've kept their core together and let them grow. They seem to be mostly healthy this year for once, too. I think they feel like a WCF team.

At any rate, I don't like our chances. That's my brilliant analysis. But the Suns have looked good even in defeats; every game has been pretty encouraging and fun to watch, to my eyes. So I don't care if they lose.

Suns are going to be the best 0-4 team in the league. Other than the opening night stinker, they've played really well against very good teams.

Let's hope coach makes use of that fact.

I'd like to see Ulis get 10-15 minutes against Paul. Really think he could be a disruptive force ... maybe even frustrate Paul into a T.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

No, didn't you hear? Coach says they are in our rotation now instead of PJ and Knight!!...

I liked the post game from Watson last night. Hope it's real.

I hope our guys don't let the refs take them out of it tonight like they did the first game. The way the clippers play it seems to instigate bad refereeing so lets hope that they learned from last time.

Marquese needs to avoid techs. He's piling them up like a Morris.

In a different way though, right? It seems to me he just isn't taking shit from anyone and because he is a rookie is getting zero respect from the officials.
Go Suns!

Booker is out tonight. Hopefully the toe injury is not too serious. Those things can linger.

hoopjunkys keys to the game:
Keep the refs and the crowd out of the game early.
Get production at the rim.
Maintain spacing on defense don't get caught up trying to steal passes recover to the gaps.
Don't be afraid to sit Knight if he is not hot.
Play Bender and Len together

Looks like it might be one of those nights for Knight. Starting hot.

I really hate that PJ is getting minutes over Bender. Especially with how bad he has looked these last few games.

Warren has come on so much this season. Great pass to Len for the dunk
