This is for all the marbles. I'm nervous. And excited.
Tlong, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Suns face the Blazers in Portland tonight. If the Suns win, they come within 2.5 of the Blazers. If they lose, it's extremely unlikely they'll make the playoffs.
Blazers won the last meeting against the Suns thanks to a 52-point performance from Roy, But the Suns had an 11-game winning streak against Portland before that game. Suns won both home games this season against the Blazers.
Suns are 8-8 on the 2nd of back-to-backs.

Tragic goes for 30 tonight!!
Go Suns!
This one has me worried. Portland is tough at home like Utah and the suns are probably tired after last night. With no Amare and Barbosa, that's more minutes on the remaining players who are mostly all older. Their only hope is for Oden to be playing.
Your boys better win one up there Xylus. We're pulling for you too
this is a big game for both teams but a bigger one for the suns, they have been playing very good as of late being as their season is on the line. I just hope the blazers can some how put this game away early so the suns dont have a chance to get the W. suns have always given the blazers trouble. although i expect this game to be close the whole way.
if the blazers lose this one, then it would be interesting to see how a young team responds as they step closer to not making the playoffs
Big game tonight. I'm nervous about this one as the Suns always give us trouble. It's the Suns' 3rd game in 4 nights so hopefully they're tired.
"Tlong, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"
this is gonna be a great game. high scoring
Not that I want to take the side of TLong or anything but I'm rooting for the Blazers to crush the Suns for two reasons:
1: I'm a Portland boy, born and raised.
2.: I dislike the Suns more than any other team in ALL of professional sports.
My guess is the Canadian Cancer s up the game while Goran "White Magic" Dragic has a great game and should be taking over the starting role if not for Alvan Gentry's fetish with letting Barnes and Nash think they're a lot better than they are.
The only way they win this game is if Shaq gets the touches he deserves, and if he gets the touches via entry pass, not this high pick and roll garbage Nash repeatedly runs with Shaq since the Canadian Cancer only knows one type of half court play and can't run a traditional offense.
Gentry has done stuff for them that D'antoni and Porter weren't able to do (i.e. develop a bench), but unless he develops better defense and a better half court offense, he needs the boot.
If you're a Steve Blake fan look out tonight cause your boy is gonna set a career high.
sons i just got tickets for this game.. i will be kicking back drinking $8 beers from a suite.. dont let me down portland like the last game i went to!!(mavs).. should be a great game though.
What the....???
Why the are you a Spurs fan???
What kind of house suites do they have in Portland. Rockets suites everything is free.
Perhaps he prefers teams that are worth a ?
They have a buffet and drinks for free like pop and water but its our bosses season suite so he doesn't allow us to drink his booze we have to pay for our own haha..
Can't believe I'm saying this two nights in a row but....Go Suns!
I hate TNT games...damn PHX/POR game wont start till 9:45 and be over till 12:15 at the earliest. I dont understand why they cant start the first games at 6:00 CDT...in most cases the first game is on the east coast which would start over there at 7pm EDT
im pretty indifferent as to who wins..if PHX wins mavs tie Blazers and still would be up 3 on the suns. If POR wins then Mavs are up 4 in the loss column on the suns. As long as the Mavs go 9-2 or 8-3 rest of the way, I hope PHX beats all the teams ahead of the MavsCan't believe I'm saying this two nights in a row but....Go Suns!
So who starts for the Blazers these days, Przybilla or Oden?
Steve Blake
Brandon Roy
Nic Batum
LaMarcus Aldridge
Greg Oden
vs.
Steve Nash
Jason Richardson
Grant Hill
Matt Barnes
Shaqovich
White Magic isn't ready for primetime yet.
Though it's been interesting to see Goran come in and positively affect the game. With Porter, I was always afraid to take the starters out, but I actually feel more comfortable now with the bench in.
This game is completely winnable for Phoenix. All Phoenix needs to do is keep winning, win the remaining game vs. Dallas (for both staying close in the standings and knocking Dallas down one game closer, tying the season series with Dallas, and maintaining a better conference record that they currently have to tiebreak with Dallas). All Phoenix needs is to end up with the same regular season record as Dallas. Each team has 11 games remaining.
Dallas has these 7 losable games in their schedule remaining: Denver, at Cleveland, PHOENIX, Utah, New Orleans, New Orleans, and possibly Houston.
Freebies for Dallas: Minnesota twice, Memphis, Miami
Phoenix has these 9 very winnable games in their schedule: Portland, Sacramento twice, Houston, Dallas, Memphis twice, Minnesota, Golden State. EASY EASY EASY. Sacramento twice and Memphis twice? Phoenix, don't screw this up!
Of concern in Phoenix's remaining schedule: Utah and New Orleans.
Phoenix has already won 6 straight. Come on Phoenix, we want a 7 game series with LA, we don't need to see Dallas make it just to get swept.
