The Phoenix Suns early play and bench production

[Boise Blazer]

I am watching the replay of the Suns last game against the Mavs and they mentioned 2 things that I thought were interesting:

1) The Suns have not lead after the first quarter so far this year

and

2) The Suns have the highest scoring bench (which surprised me quite a bit)

Seems to me that considering that this is a back to back for us that we need to try and jump all over them in the first quarter and squash any hope real quick like.

Highest scoring bench? Wow. Are you sure? I never would have guessed that. I cant even name a guy on their bench without looking it up to remind me. Their bench didnt do shit in their last game.

Hill cant keep up with Wallace and Batum. Aldridge shouldnt have any problems with Frye. I think we win big.

spread is blazers -2.5 and most team experts are picking the suns as of now

Its a very tough game. We used a lot of "emotional energy" to beat the Lakers. Lets see just how good our team is. A championship team will still get a win.

Yeah, it's a classic trap game. I wouldn't be surprised to see us down double-digits in the first half, and for this to be a very tight game late.

FIFY. Easy does it.

I thought the same thing ... Im just repeating what the Suns broadcasters said.

Well their starters all suck ass so the bench is scoring just because nobody on the team averages more then 11ppg.

Remember when we had Ha, Khryapa, and Telfair starting? Our bench didn't have much drop off from the starters.

The Suns were easily handled last season, so I'm not worried. Unless they go crazy from 3-point range I don't see this as a loss.

Marcin Gortat always seems to have good game against the Blazers, but outside of him and Nash that roster is underwhelming.

Hahahhaa I am a homer! Hear me roar!!!!!!

Maybe Nate will have the two "Smiths" play more and let LA, Wallace, and others rest a little bit more. Tired legs perhaps?
