View Poll Results: What is the matchup to watch for?

**Seuss** · 11-23-2006, 11:54 PM

Phoenix Suns (5-6) vs New Jersey Nets (5-6)

When: Friday, 24th
Time: 8:30 Arizona
Tv: ESPN, FSN AZ

Phoenix Suns Projected Lineup:

(PG) Steve Nash - (SG) Raja Bell - (SF) Shawn Marion - (PF) Boris Diaw - (C) Amare Stoudemire

New Jersey Nets Projected Lineup:

(PG) Jason Kidd - (SG) Vince Carter - (SF) Richard Jefferson - (PF) Jason Collins - (C) Nena Krstic

Not sure if LB is going to play. I think he might. I don't
believe the sprain was to major. Suns have to stop the outside
threats. They should be able to win.

Arguably the two best point guards in the league going head to head. Historically, Kidd has done a good job guarding Kidd, so I'm interested to see how that will play out.

Raja vs. Vince is going to be fun to watch... but look for VC to drop 30-35 tonight, and probably posterize someone so hard that they are going to ponder a change in career. Kurt Thomas and Amare are likely suspects. (Should Amare choose to actually contest someone going to the bucket, that is.

)

Marion vs. Jefferson.. I expect lots of stats to come out of this match-up, but nothing particularly exciting to watch. As always, Marion will probably float around, guarding Kidd, Vince, and RJ for stretches of the game.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I fully expect Amare to abuse Krystic like a red headed step-child in that match-up. I want to see another 25-15 game, damnit.

LOL@ the RJ picture.

The Suns are heavy favorites to win this one since the Nets have been playing poor defense, esp. on the road. If they don't play consistent basketball for 48 minutes, this could be a blowout.

Collins will most likely be guarding Amare

Should be a pretty fun match up if the Nets decide to play some D and with some intensity. Otherwise you guys will blow us out, we seam to not be in "game mode" yet.

As a nets fan, I got to say the Suns win this. The Nets are playing piss poor D and we cant grab a damn rebound.

I guess Kidd doesn't really do a good job guarding himself since he seems to get triple doubles quite a bit haha.

You mean you're not supposed to?

**Dissonance19** · 11-24-2006, 11:19 PM

So, we keep our starters out there to prevent the Nets from coming back like teams seems to always to do, yet we keep them in there, our starters get tired, and a team still comes back with their bench. I guess D'Antoni didn't think about fatigue.

He should of used a zone defense. Marcus Williams was the
only shooter out on the floor.

We should expect that from teams. They're down 18 and so
they don't feel any pressure. So then they chuck up shots and Williams
caught fire. But a win is a win.

And Amare looked great.

Tonight just proved why I think Marcus still needs much to learn. Cough, Mr. Ballhog*
It was fine tonight because he was on fire, but on other nights.......
