Game Thread: Spurs @ Suns -- Thurs. (1/21) - 9:30PM (5:30AM Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

Late start tonight in Phoenix as we play a 13-30 Suns who are losers of 13 of their last 14, including 5 in a row. In other words, they suck, and we should handle them easily and hopefully we can rest our starters some. Nationally televised game as we're the 2nd game of TNT's Thursday night lineup. Parker's out and won't be surprised if other guy's sit tonight. Bledsoe and Price are out for Phoenix as well. Let's get it.

This Suns team only has 2 players(Booker and Teletovic) that can get hot from outside and give the Spurs trouble..the rest of their roster doesn't have much..they don't have any speedy PGs to do damage(Knight is decent, but doesn't fit that criteria), they start 2 slow players(Tucker, Chandler), and they are just lacking talent..

There's no reason this shouldn't be a 20+ point win, even with the Spurs playing at 50% effort..

[steeledl]

Feels like we haven't plAyed in forever.

[NameLess Scrub]

I guess the schedule team thought "Hmmm, lets make this game... the ""Fight for LaMarcus"" game! Call TNT!".

Bet they'll mention it. Reggie might come up with some comments about it.

Devin will score 1st career 40pt game.
Chandler outplays LaMarcus.

Spurs lose.

What a nice article!!!!!! Thanks for sharing it!!! Diaw is one of my favorite players and he was my favorite Spur bar none until recently. In the 2014 finals Kingslayer won me over, but Diaw is a special and unique talent who had been very underrated generally.

[SAGirl]

689990866350510080
WOW!!!!!!
How can we doubt this young man!!!!! Still 24 yrs old already on track (like someone else said, but can't remember who) to be one of the best defensive wings in the history if the game period. So long as Kawhi is healthy we are a playoff team.

[Xylus]

Congrats on your 25-point victory tonight.

Our best player is 19-year-old Devin Booker and I'm not even exaggerating.

[Xylus]

The Suns are a complete abomination this year.
