    What? Suns aren’t world beaters. And we blew out the Sixers without Dame. We can beat anybody, including Suns.

    Another loss. I'm feeling it although at this time, I wish I was numb to this game.

    If our offense his humming like in our 6 game win streak then we can win. Due to the fact we usually play defense how our offense is going. Another factor is our bench must product over 35 points tonight if we going to win.

    Suns and Nuggets will beat the Blazers. Blazers re-group and beat the Lakers then come home and win all their home games. Dame averages 30+ points with 9 assist on all games. My predictions.

    Not just directed at you, but any team can beat any other team in the NBA.

    I find it comical that when we play a great game people say something along the lines of, "See, we can play this well, so no excuses to not play this well all the time." Kinda like saying, "See, Nurk made a 3, so he should be able to make all of his future 3's." That's not how it works though.

    I'm far more interested in who is more likely to win. In this case, I think the answer is clearly the Suns. But yes, we could win, of course.

    Unless Steph and/or Luka are hurt, or they move Luka to the frontcourt, Dame might not ever be voted in as a starter

    He didn't get in because of the fan vote. The fan vote isn't a fair representation of a player.

    So, find another way to bash dame.

    Why are Suns more likely to win? We have about the same record. We’re 10-5 on the road.

    Why will Nuggets beat us? We have a better record and have been playing better than them recently,

    Because we are missing our 2nd and 3rd best player. We are 7 point underdogs for a reason. Can't wait for your knowledgable and well thought out response to this.

    I'm surprised the Nuggets are playing so poorly. There a better team than what there record shows and I would expect them to be playing better come playoff time. Rumors have it they will shop Porter jr at the deadline.

    Only because it’s a back to back games. We all know that it’s hard to win at Denver and this one is a b2b game.

    Yep. Tough enough to go into Denver and win let alone on a B2B.

    It's based on the current game.

    It's why I never lead credence to stats like "they've won the last 5 meetings" when it's obvious a team is way different than even 2 meetings ago.

    It's okay for someone to think a team may beat you as a fan. You'll be okay.

    I like our chances....play with pride...hopefully Melo and Hood and Simons are shooting at a high clip in this one.....need lights out Roco and Dunkin DJJ to pick up some slack on offense
