    I was at Suns/Clips tonight. We had better be ready for Friday, because the Suns are pissed. They were so fucked over by the refs in this game. The killer was when Matt Barnes jumped up with the ball, landed, and then passed to CP3 for a really long three pointer with the shot clock buzzer going off.

    The Suns play hard and they make the extra pass. Bledsoe had a terrible game, but Gerald Green played really well. Also the Morris boys bring their lunch bucket, so Robinson had better have an active game. Finally, Tucker is one strong mofo.

    Even though they lost, color me impressed by Phoenix.

    That's how Jeff Hornacek used to play. Where is he now.

    No doubt Phoenix will play with some urgency. We better as well, because when we don't , we suck. It is all about energy and Phoenix plays with a lot of energy. I don't want to see the Blazers wait until the third quarter before they decide to bring it.
    This game now worries me.

    Suns definitely have the personality of their coach. That's not good for the rest of the league.

    Not feeling good about this game, or any game we ever play with Phoenix.

    PHX will play with a greater sense of urgency - they're fighting to make the POs. We've essentially clinched, and are only fighting for HC.
    Also, PGs - we get torched by 'em. And PHX has two that are very capable with the ball in their hands.
    IMO, we need to win this game more for our psyche than for the standings.

    All of the above is true about the Suns, but I'm betting that the Blazers have had this game circled on their calendars for a long time. Payback time, baby.

    My guess is it will be a dog fight throughout, and will come down to the last shot. Which worries me. When the game is on the line you want Damian with the ball. (Bigs keep you in it, guards win it) But Bledsoe's D is a problem

    We need to win a close one. This is going to be a great game IMO.

    I like this prediction much better. I've got playoff tickets for the Winterhawks at the MC that night too - can't decide which to be at.

    Although they are boring to watch, I'm ready for a blow out of seasonal proportions, 30 pt win, 3rd stringers playing the entire 4th qtr and still winning by 30..it's overdue.

    Yeah! I'm on press row again!


    Just kidding, I'm home. My request for press credentials was DENIED! Nothing like being told by the team you love that you suck, lol.

    Well, as often as "fans" tell the team they suck, maybe it payback?
