Lottery protected means top three.....they won't get the pick if it lands 1-3. Someone can correct me if i'm wrong.

Looks like Barbosa is back, but the Suns are struggling against the Knicks especially on the boards where the Knicks have a plus 10 in rebounds.

I was at the game last night and i'm glad to see Barbosa back. Yea we were strugglin, Thomas had a bad shooting night as well as Matrix. But it good that we can still win ugly games.

First time for me in the B lounge during a game and WOW!! SOOO many hot chicks hang out there...man....I even met Bolden, Shipp and JJ Arrington while i was walking around the lounge.

Tough loss last night against the Clippers. I wasnt watching the game (was at a party) but my bro texted me updates, and at one point we went 0-12? Jeez.

Oh well, we'll get 'em.

Yeah it was a tough game for the suns, having a back to back game from home to away especially having a tough game with NY. Its cool atleast we are close to being at the top for the pacific.

Stupid loss to the Hornets.

I posted this in the 12/14 thread......

Cant believe we cant capitalize on the Clippers getting beat so bad.

The Suns played TERRIBLE tonight. Phantom call on Marion near the end of the game, but whatever. We couldnt shoot one bit. There was absolutely no interior D. I'm surprised it was even that close.

Suns rank 2nd in the NBA in defensive efficiency, just think of how much potential this team has when they can get back Stoudamire, Barbosa, and Grant.

This year the Suns rank second (!!) in the league in defensive efficiency, a fact virtually unnoticed because their blistering pace skews all traditional defensive benchmarks, including points allowed per game.

Suns beat the Spurs and Heat back-to-back. Good performance by the Suns at the end of todays game as opposed to folding like in the playoffs. Just about everyone played well except for House.

man what a game last night. but such a bummer, can't help it if melo and boykins were hot. these are the games that really show are weakness downlow. amare please come back soon!

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

Suns bounce back from a heart-breaking loss. As long as they don't have to go 3-OT they seem to do pretty well. I can't imagine how good this team will be when/if Amare comes back this year. I think they can then enter the top tier.

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

Another good win by the Suns, but man LBJ is a beast. Diaw, Bell, House, and Nash really played well for the Suns.

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

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

I dont know, man. Thats 4 games this year in OT that we lost that we should have won. Absolutely unacceptable.
