Pheonix played b-b with heavy minutes--they have no one who can stop Curry and we can play free flow--we dont play defense for the most part anyway:) IF Crawford Q-Rich Marbury and Nate can hit shots---I think a surprise is possible.

only if everyone is on fire......... i give us a 10% chance

I have them losing by 15+. Hope I'm wrong.

who's got Amare?

Briggs - it would require an cohesive defensive effort, field goal percentage and MSG fan support of the highest order. The Suns are good.

Then again, I'd start Lee at center and put Balkman at two guard.

It will depend on if Nate can do a good job running the point and hitting his shots. If he can rise to the occasion, we have a shot. I agree that they have no one to stop Curry. The problem is who is Curry going to guard.

so do i... i'm just saying i think Jamal has a big scoring night. *cough*

Chuckford? Sure. I could easily see him going 15 for 41 with 35 points in a 120-99 loss.

i'm sure it'll be all his fault that we lost the game too in a lot of eyes around these parts.

Fault? Not entirely. The coach deserves a lot of the blame for letting a chucker go wild. Chuckford and Natebury in the backcourt... who knows, if we're playing well there's a chance they might combine for at least 6 assists tonight.

u saw him on a night when he wasn't playing well... go to more games & you'll see him be a catalyst for the offense out there too... he's inconsistent & very streaky... when he's on, he's literally unstoppable, & it's a beautiful thing to watch

IF Miami and countless other situations like that one has tough us anything, when teams see the opponents top player(s) are not going toplay, there is a big time risk of expecting a cake walk and getting punched in the mouth............ especially when you are in the that teams building.


I would not be surprised by a knicks win because the suns let us linger.

Yes, but he's a 38% shooter. If you're saying the success of the team relies on a 38% shooter being unstoppable, I think we're in trouble. I also saw how the offense stagnates when he's running the offense. Marbury and Francis are much better distributors than Chuckford. I think Chuckford needs to step into a Rip Hamilton-like role or get traded, because the style that he's been playing holds the entire fate of the team on him getting on a hot streak, which is a risky proposition.

the fate of the team doesn't rest in any 1 players' hands... it depends on the entire team playing well as a unit... that's a different topic... i'm just telling u Craw is not half as bad as u might think he is... you caught him live on a bad night... i've been at games when he absolutely lit up the Garden & let me tell u, there's not a player on this team that can do the things he can do when he's on his game... he's the closest thing to a true star go-to perimeter player that we have when he's got it going... Marbury can be great when he's on his game too, but he's never as unstoppable as Jamal can be at times, & not half as exciting of a player either IMO.
