    Our MVP is out still. Can't play the summer league team without Trendon. I hope he returns soon.

    Bookies dont like us much in this game. Good news after these two games we do not play them again unless its the playoffs. We are getting 10.5 points if you think thats enough. I think the Suns we be looking for a little pay back after their only loss this season so far from us. If you bet $100 you get $400 back good luck on that straight across bet and blazers win.

    Wow.
    Usually you wait until the game is 5 minutes old before throwing in the towel.
    Oh well..You just may be correct this time.

    nurk shouldnt play either (cant see us winning without dame & ant)

    its back to back, play nurk tomorrow and hopefully ant plays too, then we might have a chance

    Well that explains the ten point spread. Until it was officially reported that Ant was out I was going to say that it would be good to bet on us to cover... not so sure now. That being said with the way the Suns have played this season, if we were to get some kind of breakout night from Shaedon along with really great nights from Nurk and Jerami, we could still win this game. I would put a starting lineup of Shaedon, Josh, Justise, Jerami and Nurk out there... I think that provides the most switchability around Nurk on D and a possibly very explosive offense both in transition and within the half court set.

    Not a bad idea. Phoenix might let up a bit if that happens or maybe rest their own players.

    On the other hand, if they pressure us all game it could get real ugly.

    So, Keon starting at PG? Winslow backing him up?

    Or since they run the point through Justise so much as a forward, Justise running point with Hart and Sharpe playing guard, Grant and Nurk in the "post".

    @SlyPokerDog--is this a bannable offense?

    Yes but we are without a key player as well - or maybe 2.

    Josh Hart and JG say no way. Yes, we’re short handed but the Suns are trash.
