Denver had a nice win at Boston but since then they haven't been too hot. This is a good chance to get back in the win column.

Go Suns!!!

Nuggets have been a huge let down this season. They were supposed to show the potential of Mudiay, Nurkic and Jokic but all 3 have quite frankly sucked this season. That said, I think Chriss will still have a hard time against their bigs and should be in foul trouble for most of the game. Maybe Tyson too.

I really hope Watson doesn't cut Bender's minutes. If anything, give him Tucker's minutes.

Must win for both teams.

Keys to the game:
Score off of turnovers with early offense. We should be able to get some this game its important that we capitalize on them
Total Rebounds will be pretty close. Wining the Defensive rebounds should be our focus.
Make free throws chances are we will be at the line a great deal tonight.
Manage the last 5 minutes of the game better and finish in regulation. (Limit mile high effect)

Nah. There is no such thing as a must win game for the Suns this year. This is a year long preseason. We want to see improved play, development of the rookies, etc. Wins are good for morale, and they should try to win. But that is far from "must win."

Brandon Knight has got to go. Hey-hey. Ho-ho.

An 8 o'clock game on a baseball off day. I'll be able to watch! Maybe!

[Mori Chu]

I have to go to a faculty/student dinner thing tonight, but I may be able to catch the second half. Go Suns! Play the kids.

[Superbone]

Hey guys. There's a thing called the DVR. Check it out!

[Nodack]

I would miss half the games if it weren't for my DVR. I did miss a game last week. They must have put it on an alternative channel. I better check right now to make sure they didn't do it again.

I agree, no such thing as a must win this year. No lose situation for me. They play a good team and win and it's a great thing. They play them close and lose and it's a great thing. They get their asses handed to them and it's not as great but, as long as the youg ones are playing it's like putting money in a savings account.

Don't live in AZ. Don't have league pass. Don't have a DVR.

Media going nuts that Porzingis has 25 points at the half. He could have his first 30-point game! Booker had 6 last year as a 19-year-old. I don't recall anyone in the national media going bananas.

[EDC]

At least we are off to a good start.

[EDC]

We are getting wrecked. What happened to those plays for our top scorer. The ones that would get him the ball at the free throw line? I guess easy buckets just aren't a priority.

[ShelC]

C'mon man, the Nuggets?

[O_Gardino]

Just sat down to watch. Wow. Looks like this is a ping pong night.

[djy2j]

Thank God PJ Tucker was in there most of the half to hold Wilson Chandler to just 18 points and 6 rebounds.

[djy2j]

When the offense is stagnant clearly it's best for BKnight to run the point. I saw him make 3 passes

[O_Gardino]

Streaky-Streaky taking over the game. I hope someone in Sacramento sees this game and wants Knight.

[Cap]

Allowing 89 points in three quarters? This defensive effort is embarrassing.

[EDC]

It is amazing how bad PJ is from the three point line this year.

1-13 this year so far.

[djy2j]

Why does he get so many minutes?!?!
