I didnt watch this game. I was at work, TiVoed it, then my bro was gonna go sleep so I figured I'd find out before I'd be able to watch it, so I just got the results. Man, Barbosa sat out the final 7 minuteso of the game when he was the leading scorer? Thats questionable. I'm sick of losing these close ones, man. Last year we were so spoiled, and this year, we actually have to work, ,lol.

It's okay. We gotta win the next three games going into San Antonio (I want the champions, BAD!)

I was getting nervous again around the fourth quarter, just a little. Happy with the win though, and i kinda liked seeing barbosa start, but i still perfer him coming off the bench.

Whats up with D'Antoni not using Jim Jackson? Did i miss something or is he hurt?? i know its difficult using him since House moved up in the lineup but i think its wasting a good talent on the bench.

Brian Grant didn't play either and as long as the Suns keep winning I don't mind Barbosa starting though he is going to get one heck of a pay raise this offseason if he keeps it up.

I was a little nervous too last night - the Suns have blown big leads this year although I was happy they came out with the win.

If we can keep some leads and win, we'll be in decent shape until Amare comes back. The team isn't bad even though we don't have Q-Rich or JJ. I still wouldn't mind if the Suns dealt some of their picks for some young talent that can help out immediately, but I can't complain too much...

I would kill for Melvin Ely. There are rumblings and he didnt play the last game cuz he was "injured" but that might just be because they want to deal him and dont want him to get hut. I would LOVE to get him for our pick + the TE or something. He would help out bigtime.

The only good thing to take for the losses is that we had great chances to win and lost to good teams (except for the Kings) by small margins

UGH! I got scared when I saw the headline for the season opener "The Home Depot Season Opener" cuz I thought it got changed, but then I realized it's been America West forever. That new name sucks.

America West is SYNONOMOUS with Phoenix!

Yeah I don't really like the change because I was so used to America West Arena, but it doesn't really make a difference so I'm ok with it (as if my opinion mattered).

damn, suns didn't look too good, but memphis is a pretty good team. Man did matrix forget his 3 point shot last year or something? hopefully he gets out of that slump especially we don't have a down low threat we have to make all our jumpers.

Re: **On The Horizon** (2005/2006 Phoenix Suns Discussion)

It's just that he has to play lower b/c of Amare's absence.

I think it's CLEAR we need an inside presence, at least till Amare comes back next year. We NEED Melvin Ely.

Why can't Kurt Thomas rebound anymore?

He needs legs that are 5 years younger

Wasn't he a good rebounder last year?

Good win tonight against the Raptors. If we lost to that garbage team, I would really start to question some things.

Tomorrow a big game against Houston on ESPN. We gotta bring our best, esp. considering it's the tail end of a back-to-back.

Barbosa is out, so JJax is getting some more minutes finally, let's see what te man can do, if he can turn it around.
