Nash and Amare are coming back in with less than 8mins to go, wow

 

[Cheesebeef]

man, I really wish TT was still our 8th man, rather than JR. Guy just hits big shots.

and I really don't understand continuing to play our guys - instead of basically wrapping up the season with a statement win against Utah, we play guys who deserve breaks (Nash, Raja's knee, Amare's knees) and now will end up likely going into the playoffs on a two game losing streak, with all of our guys playing. nothing like completely halting momentum AND not getting guys much needed rest.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Why are we playing our main guys? I don't understand it.

me neither Chris.

 

[Bufalay]

this is insane

 

[Cheesebeef]

is anyone else worried that Amare hasn't reached double-digit boards in 7 of the last 10 games? That seems like two years ago Amare, rather than the guy who seemed to be eating glass with decent regularity earlier this season.

btw, it's hilarious listening to the Clippers announcers just bitch and moan about the Mavs playing their JV team.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

I more convinced than ever this team cares more about regular season accomplishments more than anything.

ZOMG TEH RECORD!!!!

 

[Cheesebeef]

i really haven't seen this Boris all year.

Not at all..

The last 2 games were meaningless, evidenced by the rebounding.

Other than that he had 11,16,11,9, 2 (barely played 20minutes), 8, 5 (28 minutes), 9, 5, 11, 12, 11, 21 etc

 

[Bufalay]

i think its hilarious how badly bender wants bell to get that last 3 to lead to league in 3 pointers made.

 

[mjb21aztd]

[mjb21aztd]

good thing we're risking injury and fatigue by playing our guys in meaningless games.

But Raja might get the record! ****!

 

[mjb21aztd]

Barbosa 3 Point Shot 2 Pt Game Come On Suns

 

[Cheesebeef]

it's great to see how far Barbs has come.

 

[Bufalay]

if they are going to play the stars then they better win

 

[mjb21aztd]

come on guys play some defense

 

[mjb21aztd]

sigh figures the rebounding kills us on the last play to finish the season heh

 

[Treesquid PhD]

damn I was really hoping this would go to OT.

 

[mjb21aztd]

this is why we shouldve rested the starters atleast it wouldve been the bench who lost this game...

 

[Cheesebeef]

eh, i don't really care about the loss - no one's injured.

BRING ON THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!

 

[Griffin]

Good thing we get a few days off now before the playoffs to solve our defensive rebounding woes

 

[az1965]

I'm sure D'Antoni got out of both of these games what he was looking for...
