FWIW, PHX is 3-0 O/U in season openers since Nash returned. Risk in this case would be a blowout and the bench playing the final minutes. With nothing on the line the PHX bench can be very unproductive.

PHX 2 FT's so far... 18 minutes into game. How does that work?
Why aren't they calling delay of game on SEA? Every time they can, after scoring, they bump into the ball so PHX can't fast break.
Amare has 3 fouls halfway through the 2Q, and PHX has 2 FT's for the entire 1H.
Barkley just lost a bunch.

Took some under 112 for 2H. (1H 113 pts)
Not enough foul shots, and combined shooting of 50% in 1H; bound to come down. Plus PHX slows down to a crawl with Banks on the floor and Nash is rusty.

Took Suns a long time last year to go L-L-L for 1Q-1H-3Q. I used to play them 1Q and 1H, and then double up on 3Q if they lost both. I'll get back to the Suns a few weeks into the season. They started slow last year as well. Tonight Barbosa is invisible, Marion and Nash are rusty, Amare was in early foul trouble, and Diaw is his usual absent minded.
