    The game will be on TNT. Any predictions? D'Antoni stated in the press conference yesterday that he wants to get the team running up and down the floor, which is a great thing I think. That's what should've been done with this team from the start, but things didn't work out that way. The point guard matchup is probably what everyone is going to be looking out for. Baron against Marbury should be great as both are great scoring point guards who can still get everyone involved.

    Marion has been on a roll lately and I don't see it stopping tonight. With Mash out, they really don't have anyone to matchup with him. Looking at things, the Suns have every matchup except for the frontcourt positions. If the Suns get into a run-and-gun game then I don't see that being much of a factor.

    I'm thinking the Suns will get a "W" tonight just for the new coach. Hopefully they can get the ball rolling again.

    Suns need a W despiratley tonight, especially after losing to orlando and miami. HOPEFULLY they can pull it out against a strong orlando team, davis is playing unreal this year and magglore is playing better, what is there record something like 15 - 8, w/e it is its much better than the suns record. I think the suns can win this one. GO SUNS!!

    Suns lose this one, amazing the downslide this team is on. Too many jump shots.

    Lakers and Kings coming up next eh?

    Even with all the jumpshots they still managed to shoot near fifty per cent. I liked the way they played tonight. It wasn't the style of play that hurt them so much tonight as the offensive boards and second chance points. The Hornets being one of the better offensive rebounding teams in the league didn't help the Suns at all. The weak frontcourt just continues to keep killing them.

    Can't believe PHX lost last night, they should have won. If only Marbury didn't miss 4 free throws in a row. That has always bothered me about how his free throw shooting isn't that great. He should at least be in the low 80 percentile area.
