		<description>It&#039;s good to blow off steam like this scoring a whole lot of points. I would have preferred to see Gentry test different defensive setting and really focus on limiting the opponents scoring. The Suns defense has improved tremendously over the last two months, still I think the perimeter defense and paint penetration are two very weal points . In this game they let Minnesota score 52 points in the paint and allowed 13 offensive rebounds. That is not impressive at all! With Griffin, Clark and Collins all proven to be valuable roll players and Barbosa back in the lineup Gentry most work on working out different defensive and offensive mixes that can be used in particlular situations in games. With 13 useful players PHX cannot afford to leave anyone sitting on the bench. The keyword is optimization of resource contribution. The season is going into its final stretch and I hope the Suns are gearing up for the playoffs by playing some of the stingiest defense in team history and winning at least 12 of the last 14 games. If they want to take 2nd or 3rd sees they will have to win at least both games against Utah and the games against San Antonio, OKC and Denver. They can take 3rd seed from Denver who have a tough schedule, but only if they hold off Utah by beating them twice. So the upcoming game is key. If you losse to Utah, start focussing on 6th or 7th seed - you don&#039;t want 4th notwithstanding the homecourt advantage or 5th. </description>

		<description>Good to have LB back. 
 
He should be getting both his shot and his wind back just in time. 
 
Just in time for the postseason and even before, in the battle for seed. Suns went on a tear and blew a close game wide open, when he entered the game. 
 
MUST start and also finish with LB. Let&#039;s go SUNS!!!! </description>
