45 pt win is just WRONG

I think a 45 point win is impressive and Portland needs to clean house.

If you can win by 50, thats what you do.

Phoenix should've won by 50. :lol

Blazers Smoke too much and can't see

They were up 48 in the fourth and had the possibility. A few shots for each team later and it was down to 45.

Don't you mav and suns fans have somewhere else you can play?

lol thats embaraSSING

As in stop posting? Not a chance. Now go blow your title and run along...

Don't like us, leave. No one is forcing you to post here, let alone read or posts.

Solly Cholly, I'm here to stay! I've pitched tent and made myself right at home...

Agreed. Phoenix has great team chemistry, their offseason moves seem to be coming up roses, and they seem to have dedicated this year to learning to play defense. Impressive.

It seems like a transitional year for the Suns this year, and I don't think they're ready to beat the Spurs or Detroit, but with another year of seasoning for their defense to gel, they look really dangerous for next year.

Anything can happen, and you've definitely never won a trophy until you're holding it in your hand.

But I can't see why the Spurs are particularly due for an injury. Duncan fought through injuries and missed a ton of games last year. He was less than 100% pretty much all the way through the title, though 90% of TD is obviously still pretty formidable. Manu is fighting through a string of injuries so far this year. Good teams have to fight through them -- just as the Suns have been doing brilliantly so far.

Yea it's fun to watch too...

I want to see Suns run up on Kobe to see if he cries...

Inconsistant injuries like 5 games here, three weeks here isn't that big s deal, even if it happens two or three times a year. I'm talking about the David Robinson, out for the year type.

I don't wish it upon you or anyone, but sooner or later every team has a great player miss an extended length of time. Detroit is due as well.

It's just been so long for either, that you should almost expect it.

I hope not, because I've always been of the mindset where if you play a team, you want to play Team A at complete health. It rarely happens, but at least then there's little to now doubt.
