Go Suns!

 

[AfroSuns]

Wow..thats quite the start by the Suns

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns off to 12-0 start. Nice beginning to the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tucker seems to be getting better each game with 10 points so far in the 1st quarter. Dragic wearing out Toney Douglas.

 

[ProdigalSun]

That was a sweet pass from Ish

 

[Mainstreet]

The Morris twins seem intimated. Suns definitely need a tough F/C.

I know this has been stated before...but why not Okafor? Does anyone know his rehab status?

He is still out injured with no discussion of his return and the player's insurance is paying most of his salary.

Okafor is done. He is not going to play, and he was never going to play. If there was a chance he could play, he would have been rehabbing in Phoenix.
Okafor is a just a contract.

Frye's defense is still so bad.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Morris twins are playing like marshmallows tonight. They have not been playing tough inside. Their game has to be more than outside shots.

I think Plumlee and Len provide some toughness, but Frye and the Morris twins are the softest PF rotation I have ever seen.

Food for thought before the trade deadline.

 

[Absolute Zero]

They have no one that can stay with Ish

 

[sunsfan88]

I would like to see us go big instead of all these small lineups. Put Len or Plumlee on Bosh instead of Frye or Kieff...bosh is killing em.

 

[Mainstreet]

No T for Lebron. Of course not.

 

[SirStefan32]

Food for thought before the trade deadline.

I hope all three of them are gone. If I had my way, this would be the last game either one of those wears a Suns uniform.

Here's the good news: We had the lead at half time and Dragic hasn't gotten it going yet meaning we can expect him to get on a roll sometime in the 2nd half.

Bad news: Same thing I said about Dragic can be said for LeBron

PJ Tucker is playing some mean D at least on James. And James has only scored 2 more points than Tucker, while playing 4 more minutes. But it would be a miracle if Tucker outscores him after 4 quarters.

The Heat have hounding Dragic trying to take him and the Suns out of their game.

 

[SirStefan32]

I think Dragic is going to choke Green.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Wow, that had to be the pass of the year.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Pretty cool how the Heat get the home cookin' officiating, in an away game. Love that NBA!

 

[SirStefan32]

Gerald Green is not a point guard! Dragic is a saint for not bitching him out publicly.
