Phoenix Suns Vs. Denver Nuggets Preview

I just read that Sasha Vujabitch is now engaged to the lovely and talented Maria Sharapova. I’m irritated by this turn of events.

For the most part it has been an exercise in torture.

Gentry has juggled the rotation just enough to expose/verify most of our weaknesses without revealing his hand as to how he plans to deal with it.

Giving heavy minutes to players that will most likely (hopefully) never play a meaningful minute of basketball this season didn’t really do it for me. I thought that with the anticipated level of difficulty of the early schedule that it might have been more prudent to play the regular rotation more significant minutes.

As it stands, the Suns are running out of the gate with a pack of dobermans on their collective ass and I still don’t have much of a clue as to how they’re going to handle it.

And then I stop. Cause the crazyeyes of Grant Hill give me hope.

I think we will hover around .500 up until mid-season before the team finally gets the chemistry right and than we cruise right into the playoffs.

According to a source familiar with the situation, [New York Knicks GM Donnie] Walsh has been motivated by information from Lee, a Knicks season-ticket-holder, that Anthony’s first choice is far and away the Knicks. According to the source, Anthony has had several conversations in recent weeks with Lee, who has in turn informed Knicks brass of Anthony’s feelings.

I can see Mello and Amar’e together. Add Paul to that group next summer. The Knicks are going to be good. I just hope they don’t get a Championship before we do.

when they’re all a little disorganized, and maybe steal a game or two, rather than face those teams when they’re 100%, and we’re not.

I thought the Suns would be 8-6 after 14 games. Now maybe I’d say 6-8 or 7-7.

It all depends on the first few games – I expected that 2 tough roadies + 2 tough homies + 1 easier homie would end up 3-2.

Pride plays a big part in stopping the bleeding, so I don’t see the Suns laying 5 eggs here, or even 4. Portland has a healthy Roy, but otherwise is same as the playoffs. Lakers are without Bynum and limited on Kobe. Utah is a tough place to win, but the Suns didn’t show them anything in preseason for a reason. Utah just might take the Suns too lightly.

If they survive the first 5 games at 3-2 or 2-3, then I’m feeling good.

set the Suns over/under for the season at 41-1/2 wins.

That seems pessimistically low (even to me).

I’m assuming that Bright Side betters are taking the over and running to the sportsbook?

Im so excited to see the team live for the first time this year. Hopefully, since they will be playing the usual rotation, we can get another win. Not long now before the season starts… :)

I would love a purple and orange teddy bear to put me at ease! I love teddy bears! :)
Too bad it’s not going to happen. :/

I will be at the game tonight sporting a sweet Gorilla mask! Look for me!

I’m a Gorilla Groupie! Whateva that means…

Apologies for the pessimistic and very un-journalistic preview.

I don’t mind the “un-journalistic”… And apology accepted on the pessimism. I don’t agree with the assertion that there is no reason to broadcast optimism. I believe you foster your outcomes with your attitude, as hippy/new age as it sounds (sorry), so I will continue to pull for the BRIGHT SIDE and hope for the best. Until the season actually gets under way, I’d like to see ALL optimism. Please?

I dont know why, but seeing turk smile like that makes me wanna just punch him right n the face.
