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.

I watched parts of the game and it didn't seem like Jimmy Jackson could drive to the hole to save his life. Marion had a huge game and House came off the bench to provide a spark. Brian Grant was a key as he played tough defense on Bosh, made some of those tough plays and hit a few open jumpers. The Suns shot about as bad as they could from 3 point line (4-25) and I doubt this will happen again.

Suns win 2 in a row and Kurt Thomas gets 17 boards. I think we actually played some defense today or the Nets are really bad. I couldn't see the game so I wouldn't know, but hopefully they can keep it up.

Suns quietly win 5 in a row....albeit it shouldve been a bigger victory. We have a MAJOR problem of giving up our leads. I think thats pathetic. We were up 17 at the half and won by 5. The third quarter seemed to be ugly by the box score.

Oh well, a wins a win. We need interior help, as if there's a need to state the obvious. Camby screwed us tonight.

Next up, the Hawks.

Bring it, Joe! Bring all YOUR team has.

A-hole.

Wow that was a shellacking which was even worse than the score indicated (don't say that too often). I hope Joe Johnson is having a good time there and the Suns are quitely pulling it all together playing some decent d and winning as they are only a 1/2 game out of first place.

The team is playing great. This team is so deep and i love how we can setup different lineups and do well. At one point there was a lineup where only 2 suns players were on the floor from last years team, Jim Jackson and Joe Johnson! I love how our new guys are stepping up and especially Diaw and Eddie "the human torch" House is doing.

Awesome to see them win tonights game. I heard they were up by 40 points or so at one point. My FSAZ isnt working when it's gametime, I think it's because of contracts with League Pass, or something. I was looking forward to being able to watch the games on FSAZ, but after the Suns countdown, they just black out.

Its because it was played on UPN. In phoenix its either on FSAZ or UPN, mostly FSAZ. Tonight against portland it should be FSAZ, and its in HD too!! woo hoo!!

Well, whatever. Even when it's on FSAZ, it blocks out when the actual game coverage starts. For the Nuggers game it blocked out as soon as the Suns countdown was over.

Are you watching the game? I don't know whether the Suns are playing good d or the blazers suck really bad. I'm guessing its a combination of both but don't know which one is a bigger factor.

How about our boys?

They're taking advantage of a softer schedule but have proven they can hang in there with the top tier teams in the league.

It's not accident that they're holding opponents to lower scores and still putting up points.

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

Man almost 50 points!!! Lets go Pat Burke!!!! that put back dunk was nasty! With even House out we dominated them. And i'm glad to hear about this nice stat...9 games straight we kept guys under 100 points.

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

Nah, NK...I'm not watching the game. During the week, I stay at my grandma's house (she lives closer to my college). I go home from Thursday-Sunday and thats when I have DirecTV access.

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

Isn't it true that the Suns get the Hawks first round picks for the next 2 years and they aren't lottery protected? Who are potential canidatates to chose from?

[TheMatrix31]

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

I think one of the picks comes from the Lakers/Celtics (whichever is a worse pick) and another pick comes next year from Atlanta lottery protected or something. I'm not exactly sure on it.

Nice win by Phoenix tonight.......hopefully the Clips can lose their six point lead....

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

what does it mean by lottery protected? does that mean if atlanta gets a lottery pick that they have a choice to take it or not? by the look of things that they are going to be a lottery team.
