Place: Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Canada

The Suns play a motivated Raptors team today. They were recently embarrassed by the Charlotte Hornets. Not only that, we beat them in Phoenix. I don't think this one will be pretty.

Go Suns!!!

Will have to flip back and forth between this game and Steelers/Pats. I have a feeling the Raptors are going to absolutely destroy us. Great team with a lot of weapons.

Anyone watching? Bledsoe playing phenomenal 18/7/4 at the half. Down 3 right now.

Yep, just checking in at halftime. The Suns are playing their best basketball of the season. All of a sudden they look like a real team.

Chandler & Len have a combined 16 points and 16 rebounds so far, combined their totals divided over 43 games are 41.8 minutes, 16.0 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 14.0 points. Not bad.

Career high 36 for Bledsoe. Tucker has really impressed me as well. Knight has actually attacked the basket and played a little defense. Is the team starting to turn it around?

Tucker's starting to grow on me now. He's still useless offensively but fuck he can put the clamps on players defensively.

Extend him with something similar to what Dudley got?

Why the hell is Knight in the game? Is it to make him feel special or something?

He's been playing great defense. Hard to argue. He just had another stop and turnover by TOR.

They have looked pretty good since the new year. Which is great especially since the young guys are getting playing time.

On the downside I am scared to death that we will sign PJ to a 3+ year contract and have to watch him play 30+ minutes for the next 3 years.

Chickenshit foul by Lowry. Flagrant 2.

What's with the wild fans in Toronto?! Multiple fan ejections during this game. Watson getting into it with some fans.

Lowry almost became my favorite player ever if Knight actually suffered an injury but nope, Knight's all right :(

Impressive win. I'm enjoying watching this team as of late. The coaching / rotations are getting better and guys are really playing into their role. Bledsoe distributing well. 40 points and 13 assists. What more can you say (+23)?

Didn't see the 2nd half. Why are we winning games? :)

That's not really a fair thing to say about anyone, no matter how much we dislike them. Credit where credit is due. Knight played well tonight.
