Not sure how this is gonna go... but knowing our luck we're probably gonna suffer another injury and get blown out again... would be nice if guys like Hill/Boozer/Davis start stepping up in Randle's absence. |

Seriously! No more injuries.
It was already an uphill battle before injuries.

wish we could bring Tyler back at least he could get minutes and see if he has anything at this point too bad we cant trade Boozer, no offense to him but he is just a minutes and stat filler |

I thought we were going 8-2 and making ESPN eat its words?
Tough back-to-back even if Jules was healthy. Today will be a "heart check" game. Cower or fight back (even if we lose)? _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

early test for Byron as the coach, if they just come out totally flat not a good sign |

With more tired players, no Julius? Nerves must be shaken to be honest. I hope they get off the mat, but this is a gut check. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

If Randle is out for a long period of time... we need Boozer to turn back the clock and become one of the best PF's in the game again... that means 20/10 on a nightly basis..... if he can do that we can still make the playoffs. |

Phoenix can play big or small at times.
Coach Horncek likes to rotate three point guards throughout the game (Bledsoe, Dragic and Thomas) which will pose a formidable test for our backcourt. |

Really hope we grab this win.... the Suns always try to play there best when there facing the Lakers... we need to get this win and ride some momentum into the Clippers/Warriors back-2-back game. |

If Beverly was a pest, wait until you see Dragic/Bledsoe/Thomas. Yikes.
I can see Tucker on Kobe, and Dragic on Wes. That's how low other teams view Wes's offensive threat levels. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

After watching yesterday's game, and the offensive strategy BS has employed, can't say I'm optimistic about winning this one. Hope the team looks more cohesive with better ball movement tonight. |

So true about Wes. Plus the fact that he was a Sun, so they know very well just how bad he is. |

Offensively we don't have enough firepower (good shooters/scorers) & defensively we don't have any truly defensive stalwarts.
Long story-short: we are not a very talented team at this point. It's going to take time to develop that cohesion that we were desperately missing last night. |

Mitch knows he needs to address some of the issues on the roster.... Wes is a black-hole and should be the 3rd or 4th string off the bench.... I really hope we Improve the 3 spot at some point this season and also get a better PG then Price... and if Lin has these horrid games consistently... we might have to look to acquire Rondo or another top-level PG. |

Why bother this season is toast and no player is going to save us. |

Exactly. The holes at PG and SF could have been filled (isaiah, ariza, etc.,) with a smart off-season strategy.
But the Kobe contract plus the pursuit of Melo (which by the way, guaranteed us nothing except perhaps a low playoff seed) pretty much killed any chance of fielding a competitive team. |

I hope in 2015, we do what Dallas did with Monta Ellis. Get a good, reasonably priced 2nd tier player. You can BUILD with a guy like that. Lots of players in that range next year. Only shooting for the top tier stars will be fruitless now since those guys want a more established team. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Hmmm...
