    Don't think Canaan will play if Bev and Terry are healthy.

    He will have to wait until Terry gets a mid season rest.

    Well that's correct....which is why Phoenix will most likely be a lottery team this year.

    Tom Chambers?

    But looking at it

    Harden would be their best player
    Ariza would be their starting SF
    Dmo would be their best C and PF (by a country mile, their front 2 blows)
    Bev would be a better backup pg than Thomas, but yeah id start the current
    Terry? I'd probably play him over Green, better leadership
    The rest? yeah I'd probably take phoenix's, although they're all better than Zoran Dragic

    And that's just our current uninjured roster

    Dwight is clearly leagues ahead of any front court player
    Papa would be their best backup wing
    Canaan? probably not, but they have oodles of point guard
    Jones? might be slightly better than Kieff
    Garcia shouldnt get minutes

    lol it was a 16-point game with 5 minutes remaining the only reason it trimmed down to 5 was because we were gassed

    What else can you expect from a Utah Jazz man. If Harden was fully fit, we would have blown them away.

    Despite all the times Stockton killed us, he was always classy. His other team-mates...not so much.

    I feel bad for them if he really thought they outplayed us for the second half.

    So you are telling me an entire half was played, the Suns "outplayed" the opponent but that entire half was forfeit because they were down 20?

    I'm sorry, a 20 point lead is far from a death kneel in the NBA. We've seen plenty of teams give up 20 point leads.

    Having read some sour grapeage from the other side, here's some praise from a Phoenix Suns fan community page, The Bright Side of the Sun:

    Especially suns which is a team known to cut big deficits easily and return to the game.

    nah, they were beaten because PatBev >>> three PHX Suns in getting rebounds haha

    3 crucial rebounds, 3 crucial FTs--all delivered with that smirk on his face

    PatBev: "So you still wanna replace me with Goran Dragic?"

    haha we were completely out of steam (ot, injuries for shortened rotation, b2b) and decoy injured harden, of course they played better, we were completely spent.

    In a way I feel sorry for Phoenix, if its close, i just know the refs are going to bring OKC home at the expense of Phoenix (like they did for the Lakers against Utah in 12/13)

    OKC arena is always packed to the fullest. It's a market share thing. Duh.

    Just saw the game, having managed to avoid hearing anything about it until now. Great win, but...

    Is Harden going to be OK? I'm shocked there's no thread on his back injury. We have an injury thread for Kostas but not for James. Odd.
