<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>D'Antoni said he would go at least 12 deep for Thursday's preseason opener at Sacramento and might play all 15 active members. He considers preseason games to be the best practices. His top units may sit the fourth quarters but will gradually play together more in upcoming games. "Gotta win," D'Antoni joked. "We don't want anybody to play a long stretch of minutes. They're in pretty good shape. We use these exhibitions to get them in better game shape. I won't play Steve (Nash) 40 (minutes). I swear I won't." Center Brian Skinner bumped his left knee this weekend and sat out Tuesday's practice. He is expected to return today and play Thursday.</div></p> Source: AZ Central</p>
