For Suns fans who couldn’t make Tuesday night’s open practice, NBA TV (Cox channel 168) is giving you another chance to see your favorite team up-close in a practice setting.
NBA TV filmed Phoenix’s practice Wednesday at US Airways Center and will re-air the highlights — along with commentary by Eddie Johnson and inteviews with Mike D’Antoni, Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire – four times over the next 24 hours.
The first chance to watch comes at 6 p.m. tonight, but the coverage will repeat at 11 p.m., 6 a.m. Thursday morning and 2 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
In addition, a reminder that the Suns-Nuggets preseason game will be shown live by TNT (Marv Albert, Mike “Czar of the Telestrator” Fratello and Reggie Miller) Thursday at 7 p.m. The game replaces the regularly scheduled Utah-Los Angeles Lakers which was cancelled in San Diego due to the devastating wildfires.
Phoenix resumes preseason play Thursday, hosting the Denver Nuggets at US Airways Center on TNT and concludes its exhibition schedule Friday, Oct. 26 against the Seattle SuperSonics in Vancouver, British Columbia. Both games begin at 7 p.m. locally and can be heard on Suns flagship Sports 620 KTAR AM.

The tv and radio schedule updates are appreciated. I know it’s preseason, but what a stinker was the game against the Sonics. It reminded me of how the Suns started the season last year–playing NO defense. It was actually scary for a while. But there are also times during the regular season when the opposing team will have long, uninterrupted stretches of scoring possessions. Very frustrating for a Suns fan to hear or see a game like that. Sometimes it’s as if the Suns don’t deal well when the other team really pushes the pace and scores a lot. One thing they have to work on is getting back on defense. They can be exploited by this weakness, as Tony Parker and the Spurs demonstrate with regularity.
