Dwight Howard is out due to a sore knee. Harden also might not play because of a bruised hip. Big Arizona connection though also with Jason Terry and Nick Johnson. Ish Smith landed with the Rockets and has played big minutes in a backup role so far this exhibition season. Houston, like us, is 2-0 in exhibition play. Marcus started at SF in game one, Tucker in game two, could we see Warren start at SF in game three?

Go Suns!!!

Dis • cuss

If they aren't playing Howard, that changes the feel of the game considerably. I still think we are going to be hurting when we play against big front lines and imposing centers. I want to see us get tested by a big team, but I guess we won't get that tonight. Still, I'll be watching

Damn, is it good to have some games to talk about! Even if they're meaningless preseason games. Let's keep the guys' minutes down, please, Coach.

Harden just doesnt want to deal with PJ. PJ is merciless on him.

I like that, matchup-wise. If we start Bledsoe, Dragic and Warren, Harden will have to be responsible for one of them, and any one of them should be able to take advantage of his defensive laziness.

A legend in his own mind.....

He has Van Gogh's ear for defensive awareness ...

.....and the rest of him went the same way tonight - Rockets disrespecting us by sitting Howard & Harden.....

The opening of the broadcast gave us zero information about the Suns & we get 3 Rocket homers as broadcasters including Clyde the Glide.

Who is starting tonight?

Surprise. An immediate Suns foul.

Goran, Bled, PJ, Kieff, Plumlee.

Plumlee makes a dumb mistake then doesn't bother to hustle. I'm not happy with him lately.

Extremely sloppy.

Goran misses back to back FTs

Everyone looks awful. They are pushing the pace but making bad passes & can't finish.

Markieff is pretty good at picking up cheap fouls, and travelling. Goran looks good.

Not looking good. Plumlee sucks. Too much partying in old town Scottsdale.
