This bit of news might be good news for us, seeing how the Suns like to shoot the three.

The Spurs' normally on-point defense has been one of the worst at defending the three for over a month. #SunsAtSpurs: http://on.nba.com/17qk1YK

Now if only they can make the open threes that they get this game.

 

[FArting]

We need to get off to a good start.

Isaiah Thomas finishing up with an ice pack on a shoulder that is sore from a collision in Wednesday's game.

Eric Bledsoe was sitting off to the side with a hoodie over his head, unable to do even the walk-through due to illness.

Goran Dragic was back at the hotel room, still ailing from what had him feeling "horrible" after his 25-point game Wednesday at Minnesota.

LOL all three Suns point guards are ailing.

Ennis time.

 

[sunsfan88]

Ennis time.

Ha I wish.

I think that’s the second time markieff has forced a shot over three spurs players

He really doesn't like to pass the ball unless it's to Marcus.

They need to get Dragic off of Green. Green is just way too big and physical for Dragic.

Len blocking and altering Duncan's shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

If Len can stay out of foul trouble it could be huge.

 

[Ronin]

nice tear drop by Isiah Thomas

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Len's gonna get eat'n alive against the Spurs. Chock it up as a learning experience.

 

[SirStefan32]

Goran looks like he's 45 years old. When you don't have the energy to take on Diaw in a one on one situation, you know you are tired.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns never get those buzzer beaters.

 

[Ronin]

too bad that desperation three didn't count.

 

[Ronin]

ugh instead of passing the ball...green goes one on two.

 

[Ronin]

According to Eddie Johnson the Suns game plan is to take quick shots...as Gerald Green proves his point by tacking a three on the fast break.

 

[SirStefan32]

My God, this is painful.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Way too many turnovers - AGAIN! And the 3 point shooting is abysmal - AGAIN!

 

[Ronin]

Nice pass from Bledsoe to Dragic

 

[SirStefan32]

What a pass by Bledsoe to Dragic!

 

[SirStefan32]

And Dragic returns the favor. Now THAT is what I want to see from those two- two point guards should be setting each other up like that 15 times every game!

 

[Mainstreet]

IMO, the key for this game is the Suns need to stay within range.

 

[SirStefan32]

Green and IT are out. We might see more passing now.
