Golden State v. Suns 03/13/08

[STATfan4Life]

BIG WIN!!!!!!!!YEAHHHHHH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jagu]

The Suns really came out in the 2nd half with a great game plan and played pretty decent D! Its good to be a Suns fan once again. Shaq attacked too much and got some stupid fouls. He needs to calm down.

 

[French Fries]

That wasn't the same Stat as other games, he had a killer mentality. Thats the Stat I love!!

shaq already softened warriors' interiors by the elbows, maybe it helped...

 

[Griffin]

If we can be good with Shaq and without Shaq, if we can go big and small without missing a beat, if we can out-rebound teams and out-run them at the same time, then we will be hard to deal with.

 

[arwillan]

not exactly an ideal defensive effort, but it will do. i guess that was understandable with shaq getting called for fouls for breathing on people while rebounding. oh well, i was wrong. we pulled it out, great job by the guys.

Great Win were 3 games back from the Lakers

 

[young tone]

congrads on the win for you guys....great game (but frustrating second half for me) ....

I knew we would get tired and the Suns would run us off the court at the end

 

[SirStefan32]

Nice win. Beat San Antonio one day and beat Warriors couple of days later. Two different styles- two wins. I hope that everyone keeps playing like they did tonight.

Good win for Suns... 3qtr was the key...W's are always good for one bad qtr...If they can learn to play a full 4qtrs at their pace, it would be scary what the W's could do... I hope Suns/W's face eachother in the playoffs...Seriously, is there a matchup in the NBA more fun to watch? I am glad to see there is a fierce rivalry starting to develop here...

Go Warriors....

 

[Evil Ash]

Good win. The officiating was a new level of awful (How in the hell do you miss an up and down traveling call?!) but a good win nonetheless

Go Warriors....

Yeah I agree and it's usually in the first quarter. I seen us out running the Suns early in the game but then that fatigue kicked in and a great team will always exploit that and the Suns did just that...

We had no answer for Amare, he went off on us....damn frustrating game

 

[jagu]

Im glad we beat the Warriors, I always thought this team would run the Suns to the ground, even with Marion they were a headache. The Suns looked great tonight. Diaw is like Jekkyl and Hyde nowadays. Sometimes god awful, sometimes amazing.

Still no love from Charles!!!!

 

[young tone]

Still no love from Charles!!!!

He never does

 

[French Fries]

He never does

that goes for both warriors and suns...

 

[young tone]

that goes for both warriors and suns...

Yup...I would think he would show love to the Suns as a former player but he just comes off as an a-hole imho

 

[cly2tw]

The key for our win is we controlled the tempo, committed to playing defense, made it uncomfortable for the Warriors, particularly in the 2nd half. GS seemed to be lured into some kind of hybernation and, aside of Baron, never really found a groove to unleash their shooting and slashing. It's great to see adjustment from our coaching.

 

[TJ]

that goes for both warriors and suns...

"Only the top 4 teams in the west are contenders" Considering that 5 games separates the 1 and 8 seeds

yeah i heard that as well lol we'll see in the playoffs

 

[French Fries]

"Only the top 4 teams in the west are contenders" Considering that 5 games separates the 1 and 8 seeds

exactly. it's not like homecourt advantage matters to the suns anyway, right?

 

[jagu]

I think if the Suns really concentrated on D they can cause a lot of trouble. They played some terrific D on GS in the 2nd half and really got them off rythm.

 

[French Fries]

Yup...I would think he would show love to the Suns as a former player but he just comes off as an a-hole imho

we slightly have the better end of the deal though. he's a shaq fan (just not this particular game though)

 

[Kody Rumin]

Great win. This has been an awesome week as a Suns fan.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I am really starting to think that Barkely is an idiot...

 

[jbeecham]

"Only the top 4 teams in the west are contenders" Considering that 5 games separates the 1 and 8 seeds

Another moronic statement from Barkley. As usual he downplays our win by saying that the Warriors aren't contenders (even though no team wants to face them in the playoffs). This is probably the closest and toughest western conference standings in a long time and he thinks that if you're not a top 4 seed then you have no chance? Home court helps, but Utah won't even have home court in their series. Phoenix & New Orleans have better records than Utah.
