Predicted Player of the Game (PPOG)
In a new feature that we will try and remember to do before every game, we will predict who the POG will be. Anyone can name the POG after the game but only here at Bright Side of the Suns will we tell you who it is before the game.
Our first ever PPOG is...
This isn't a very hard choice given that the 6' 11.5" Channing will be "checked" by the 6'6" Chuck Hayes. In addition to Frye's size advantage in the paint, the pace of the game should allow for plenty of open three's.

18min for Vladimir Radmanovic in the 1st half for GS
0 for Raja.. think he’ll get any in the 2nd half?
Why wouldn't he be getting any minutes?
I’m sure he can still outball most everyone GS has.
Fanaticism is not logical
He's pretty
much said he’s opting to have surgery, so maybe their just working Vladi in without messing up rotations… banking on the fact that Raja won’t be with the team for weeks?

Ready to do this!
Just visited the SBN Rockets page… needless to say I’m happy we’ve got a lot of action and great fans who participate
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
It really makes a difference.
I don’t know how “accurate” SBN is for showing how good fans are for any given team, but you’ve got to wonder about the state of some of these teams. I’m proud to say the Dolphins, Braves, and Suns blogs are VERY active. Other teams, not so much.
Fanaticism is not logical
Actually...
The Dream Shake is pretty active. They actually do more traffic than BSOTS. Kinda odd they don’t have a game thread up yet.

hayes
i dont really get this. how does a 6 foot 6 guy play centre????
He's a beast
watch him use his body – he can battle down low with most guys. Dude has a knack for the ball and positioning
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
we'll see
I think Frye should mix it up and post up a little early… but then switch to his bread and butter and spread the floor with the 3 ball – I’m not sure if Hayes can defend that

I played against Argentinian players
When I played in the National Team. That was 5 years ago and they all flop. I think coaches teach that over there.
"Basketball doesn't build character. It reveals it"
in all seriousness…i think coaches would teach it over there. i reckon Pop and the Spurs practice it alot too and their “OMG DID U JUST CALL A FOUL AGAINST ME FOR PULLING HIS JUMPER? – COZ I DID IT BUT YOU JUST WERENT MEANT TO SEE” expressions after they get foul calls against them

I like that foreign players take some things from soccer to improve their game...
Just please dont take the flopping.
you know...
These Rockets came out hot NO DOUBT because they just handed a loss to the Lakers on Sunday… who blew us out… So they probably came out thinking they could take on the world. Now that we’ve come right back in their grill their confidence has to be shaken.
We’ve got to turn it up to KILL MODE.
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
We've got to turn it up to kill mode regardless
But dont’ think the Rockets are out of it. They’re a tough team, and are capable of another run or two of their own.
Fanaticism is not logical
No doubt
but while our momentum has been gradually building, theirs has spiked and crashed.. I hope we continue to build and they can spike and crash all they want. We have been shutting teams down in the 4th – I think we can do that again
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
Amare needs to continue to take it hard to the rim against the undersized rockets.

I think this Suns' team is different.
So far this season, it’s felt like, if the other team lets the Suns get back in it, that spells doom for the opposition. The Suns have come back and won like 5 teams already.
Just be proud
they won
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
A little concerning that they’ve often enough not come out with the right energy from the starting gate, but proud that they didn’t give in.
Then I'll be both.
It’s certainly better than starting hot and fading late.
Fanaticism is not logical
Remember those 2 times...
…the Suns got off to a slow start and the other team didn’t let them back in? A W’s a W, but it’s better to be putting someone else in a hole rather than digging yourself out.

Gentry's subbing patterns
Hello. I try not to post in the game threads, but I’m really wondering something about Coach Gentry. I like Gentry better than his predecessor (hell, when Porter was hired, my first thought was “Why not Alvin Gentry?”), but does anyone else think Gentry’s substitution patterns are a little bit rigid and predictable? He has a habit of replacing the whole starting lineup with almost the whole bench or vice versa, and I wonder why Channing Frye doesn’t slide over to PF (when Stoudemire is out) more often. After all, Frye is no more a center than Stoudemire is; he’s a power forward pretending to be a center.
Is there a problem with being predictable with your subs?
Plus he usually always leaves at least one starter in with the bench. Plus tonight both Frye and STSAT are in foul trouble
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
heck I seen games where Porter would do similar...sub the whole bench in for the starters
I thought that was strange
I generally think he's pretty fluid
He’s rigid about Nash usually. And Hill to a certain extent, but foul trouble hasn’t given him in the way of options tonight.
Contributor: Bright Side of the Sun Twitter: @MikeLisboa
Well get him a Username and password and bring him on!

barbs is injured
he should have surgery now while the team is pumping so he’s good for playoff time. otherwise he’s gonna have a crappy season (all season) and wont be a factor in the playoffs. And we’re gonna need him. J-Rich seems to be all or nothing and when he’s giving us nothing we need to be able to sub in barbs for instant points
ill like to see
barbosa and nash on the floor more often

True fact
Rockets have pulled down 25% of their misses as offensive boards. That’ll keep you in a game.
Also, all caps make Steve Nash cry. It’s true.

i really enjoy watching gentry coach
very well composed on the sideline, grabs player’s attention during timeouts and doesn’t have the meltdowns d’antoni did
plus he’ll get on the refs too

OK, let's just slow our roll with the MV3 talk.
Not happening.
Contributor: Bright Side of the Sun Twitter: @MikeLisboa
There is absolutely, positively no way that the voters will give Steve Nash his third MVP before he has reached an NBA Final
No matter how much we want it to happen.
Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."
COY = SOL
Just ask Byron Scott. Or Sam Mitchell. Or Avery Johnson. Or Mike D’Antoni. Or Rick Carlisle.

WHY NOT?

Anyone else feel like the Suns 4th Qtr D is like..
when Happy Gilmore learned to putt?
LOL so true

If we win this, we only need to go 21-2 to match our 04/05 start!
Yeaaaaaaah boiiiii—…oh holy crap that’s hard.

"Basketball doesn't build character. It reveals it"
Nice grind'em out win
The seemed to come out flat, but the superior talent took over. Houston shot 58% in the first quarter, and coasted downward from there. This is , as we say, a real TEAM, not just a bunch of stars.
April 29, 2008 Total Eclipse of the Sun. Is the sky falling?
things i love about this game
1. we played incredible team defense the second half
2. 10 players played! all were involved offensively to the fact that every bench player had at least five points
3. everybody is working hard in every facet of the game. last year, if someone wasn’t having a great offensive game, the rest of their effort lagged…this year, everyone is putting effort in at all times
Wow!! What a great game, lucky enough to be in phoenix and watch it with other suns fans. For a team (houston) with no all stars, they really are good.

Just finished watching...great win
What a fourth quarter…
This team is Spurs-like in the fourth quarter defense, mental toughness and late game execution. It really have been a long time coming
Blogging Suns Basketball . twitter: @phoenixstan
I missed the game -- had to work
Read Will’s summary. What stood out to you guys? Looks like JRich is recovering his shooting touch….
Stan, looks like defensive intensity and mental toughness stood out for you. That’s very encouraging. I think those two things more than anything else will tell how far we can go. Those two things : 1) defense 2) mental toughness
haha - nice avatar switch
