He's probably become more tentative since he has 4 fouls... Wants to avoid any charging calls that might be costly in such a tight game......

Dunleavy is a big guy, only half an inch shorter than Amare.

He is a pretty good rebounder to, hasn't he put up a couple double figure rebound games for you Joe?

Yeah, 7.4 Reb/Gm is good, but it was an offensive board + put-back when it looked like (to me) Amare had position.

This is an entertaining game, but I hate how the Warriors are moving the ball much better than the Suns. The Suns have to work to hard to get shots since they don't seem to move and pass.

This game just reaffirms for me how just tough PHX is going to be once they get it into top gear.

GS has been tough at home.

Memphis was no gimme (ask LA).

Utah was an aberration.

Tough matchup for anybody.

Amare, Jake, White, Marion & Marbury...... That would be fun to watch for a few minuets....... probably would need a bigger coach to call that one in

Good foul. Teach those muthas a lesson not to come inside.

yeah, but our "good" losses to LA and SA don't look so good now that they haven't done too well. We need to woop avg teams like GS, too.

Wow Jacobsen again!

Seems like Brian Cardinal "Abdul Rauf" hits a FT every time I look at the TV.

Tough to "whoop" anybody on the road, anymore.

A win is a win.

Do the whoopin' at home.

Marbury is trying to do too much again. I swear Amare Stoudemire is going to strangle one of these guys (particularly Marbury) if they don't start finding him when he's wide open waving his hands around under the basket. I really don't think Marbury understands the concept of passing the ball on a pick and roll. He's had a big night scoring, but I would still like him to move the ball around better.

How about Casey Jacobsen. Some more nights like this, and I might actually shut up about Carlos Boozer.

Damn JJ's was better than Cheaney's I think

Nice to see Steph stand up for Amare.

Also VERY nice to see Cardinal laugh it off and walk away. I am getting to like that guy

I actually don't think Stephon Marbury was sticking up for Amare Stoudemire there. Cardinal won to give somebody else say hi five just as Margaret was walking by. Marbury caught Cardinal's elbow upside the head. That's what Marbury got upset about.

Damn...did I jinx him? Whoops!

Cardinal is the only reason GS is still in it.

 

[sly fly]

Foul, foul, foul.

Don't let the get off a 3.

I like my explanation better, even though your is more accurate

 

[Wally]

Can small ball hang on for the win???????? Man would I like to see White in the game at the end

 

[tobiazz]

woohoo

 

[sly fly]

Ok, don't foul.

 

[Chaz]

Nice win on the road.

18 reb for Stoudemire.

good game by CJ

 

[Chaz]

O' yea


Sad to see Richardson go down. GS has been hit pretty hard with injuries.

 

[Cheesebeef]

big shots by Casey and JJ - I keep forgetting how young this team is. Nice win - now build on .500 and never look back.

Was it just me or did GS seem to have a very similar offense to us? It seemed like they ran the same half-court offense with a few more weak side cuts to the basket.

About Brian Cardinal, I don't like him, but it's just because he was playing well against us. He took some hard fouls in the game and then gave one back to Amare, then jogged down the court and went to hi-five a teammate right in Marbury's face. If I'm Marbury, I have some words with him too. On top of it, he had 5 fouls so the refs gave the hard foul on Amare to someone else so they didn't foul Cardinal out of the game.

Musselman's not too bright. GS played little zone to speak of. You aren't going to beat the Suns very often playing man to man.

The WC is going to be tough this year.
