    Suns have been playing better since we last beat them but I think the Dragon can get us the W... Plus, the starters got a good rest tonight.

    Suns not bad, Nash old but still good, can lead team to victory
    Rockets without Lowry, who lead them ?

    - we do really well with perimeter defence in terms of closing out on shooters (suns are bombers)
    - gortat and nash are gonna be a tough assignment
    - the rest that martin and some starters recieved should give them solid/effective run for this game
    - our team has more depth talent
    -our bench is realy confident right now
    - watch out for Warrick :)

    side notes:
    - i feel that although defensively acceptable, some of our lines dont have enough shot creaters or takers... At some points it was just dragic or lee who would be aggresive while the bigs couldnt create/wanna create, parsons is not a good offensive player (worse than I expected) and ppl like bud were camping at the 3 point line
    - watch out for hakim warrick
    - hope that twill gets some run this game.... great type of opponent to play to his strenths... athletic finisher who can grab rebounds and start fast breaks

    Flynn messes up and we lose by 1 point.

    Our defense against Suns last week was to double team the point guard and force him into a poor pass. That won't happen again, I doubt Lowry is playing tomorrow and he's the one who can hedge the crap out of Nash. Goran is like Nash-lite....without the laser court vision. He won't be able to guard Nash.

    There's no chance of Flynn doing good tomorrow. If he had performed well in practice, he would've been in the game already. Not appearing in a single recent game just goes to show that he's not ready for any sort of position as a point guard.

    I agree he hasn't shown much promise in his little time, but I bet you would have a hard time finding a good team or really any team that has their 3rd string point guard play any minutes when the 1st and 2nd are healthy.

    Unlike TWill and Thabeet I'm not quite ready to write flynn off as useless. More playing time might get me to that point, but again it's gonna be pretty tough to come across minutes as a 3rd stringer behind 2 talented players at the position.

    Kyle didn't contribute much to our Portland win. We got this one, we can still play without him.

    I'm excited to see Flynn play, we need more liquidable assets near the trade deadline. Goran will have Lowry type numbers, the more minutes you play, the more numbers go up. This may be a game that the Rocks overlook the Suns because of the last game between them. I hope we bring it and bring notice to NBA.

    Luckily it's Dragon's old team and he is probably going to give extra effort and light it up. They are bad too, so that's a plus. Rockets win 108-99
