Here at ASFN, we used to get Suns and D'baks press releases and I was pushing for more press access. Then major league baseball ordered teams not to give press access to web sites. As soon as that happened, the Suns cut us off too, even though the NBA has no blanket web site policy.

Meanwhile, the Az Cardinals have done the opposite, welcoming us with open arms. We get to watch closed practices, interview players, and in essence, provide full press coverage.

The Suns won't even answer my phone calls and e-mails.

how rude.

Well, it's not saying much, but it appears that we are playing some of best basketball we've played ALL SERIES. We just need to keep it up.

The Suns were up by 4.

They take Penny out.

Now they're down by 4.

It's got to be Steph - if he's not hitting, we're doomed - i'd rather go out with steph shooting the rock, than Marion missing chippies - although Marion does seem to be playing his heart out right now - just got to make the close ones!

The suns really need someone else to pass it to. Its either Marbury or Marbury and he's obviously not 100%.

You can tell how scared Shawn Marion is.

He messed up at running. A toddler wouldn't do that.

The Suns up 4, take Penny out, down 7, put him in, climb back within 2.

That's all I'm saying.

Marion's really playing like a rookie. I don't know any other way to describe it.

Suns just need to not get to far behind.

They keep it close and SA will turn it over in the fourth.

Suns have been a great 4th quarter team.

A very good rookie tho...

I mean, you really can't fault the guy for his energy, and he's been getting tips and rebounds on the defensive end all series, and this game in particular.

Still, I understand he's quick but he's gotta slow down a little bit at some point. Right now, he's all 100% speed. In basketball, it's the change of speed that makes you effective. Almost lull your guy to sleep, get your defender to stand up somewhat, and then blow by him.

Boy, a big second half from Marbury would be nice. He's 2-8 with five turnovers and the Suns are leading. That's pretty amazing.

Will the Suns get to 90 points?

I'd almost rather see Gugliotta than Williams at this point. At least Gugliotta might make a shot.
