Game Day Thread: Suns v. Kings

Salmons shouldn't be much of a threat as he just hasn't had the PT to perform.

Good to see Raja Bell running and getting confident with that 3-ball - it's almost like he has half-heartedly thrown them up recently, but in the Golden State game, he was letting them go with confidence!

Looks like this one can get settle on the court tonight.  I like Shaq's odds.  I'm not sure the statline will convey his impact.

We'll see.

I think Miller is in for a long night

Hill falls again! Looks like he's ok

nice agressivness

Misses the layup but draws the foul on Hawes

Suns need to step up the D a little bit and put the clamps on this team. They have several perimeter weapons and the boys need to stay a little tighter and make them put the ball on the floor.

He gets the ball on the baseline. Faces up Mikki Moore. Blows by him from a dead stop. And jumps over Miller and finishes and draws the foul!

Gordon G is playing well off the bench. I take back all those bad things I said about him.

I like this guys game. He is not only shooting the 3 but is a much better scorer then Raja and plays solid D.

You could almost see him starting over Raja at some point.

Ok. Croat love fest over.

LB driving into the paint and drawing defenders and kicking to the open man. Good to see LB dish the ball! And great to see guys hit the open shots! And fantastic to see the stops on D!

SRP, Boris must have rerad your preview.  He is hstling tonight!

He is as unguardable as LeBron or Kobe right now.

Freak play and GG looked concerned...

as Amare just rips a rebound away from Beno and comes down and draws another foul on Miller!

I am bad at math but that's a lot

That was a major league ass kicking on a team that was good enough to beat LA in LA last week.

Los Suns en feugo!

one, the suns offense is really clicking in many ways, great to see skinner get in there and get a few quick hoops, I miss him, but the suns have been playing solid D. 4 games in a row now where we play good to great D. I don't think I've seen Nash do this well in applying pressure, the switches, the closing off the drive, Hill rotating, wow, simply wow! PS, biggest game of the year tomorrow in my view (aside from all suns games), Lakers vs Houston,
Houston with 21 in a row, tied with L.A...any thoughts anyone?

Shaq's working on his offensive moves in this one...using the practice time to get that scoring back on track.

I haven't seen that until just recently and we've seen it a few times tonight.

Amare getting the ball away from the basket is just deadly.

The Suns are going to HAVE to pick up a backup Center for next year so they can keep Amare at the 4 while Shaq takes the first half of the season off.

As I am typing that Amare blocks Artest on a 1:1 break away and then comes back and get the three point play.

The ref's are real inconsistent with that call though. The other night against the Warriors that would have been a blocking foul.

That allows me to have my son bring me a beer in bed and open it w/ my shoe. Genius.

And then LB goes down on a fast break.  I was yelling pass it, pass it! but then he made the shot and-1

He hasn't played tennis in ages obviously but he's been seen out in public a few times and I guess is doing ok.
