Suns really competing, fighting (for real), and caught back up in yet another game, tonight on the road. This club is playing with their hearts on a night without Nash or Hill. Now Gentry has them going hack a Blake for free throws, he's basically airballed two of them in the fourth.

Can you believe it. The Suns beat the Clippers on the road without Nash and Hill.

What a win, this team may not have the greatest collection of talent but you cannot question their heart.

They also did Hack a Jordan. I think he hit 3 out 4 of those free throws.

why is gortat in sweats?

Gortat is like a high resolution computer monitor. It's capable of displaying terrific graphics and video, but without a computer, it's basically just clutter.

(And in this simile, Steve Nash is the computer. And Gortat is like a 720i monitor - technically HD, but it ain't 1080p).

Amazing win. We were losing the whole game and the bench led an unbelievable comeback. Brown with clutch shots and clutch FTs down the stretch. I wonder how good he can be starting with Nash.

Looks like Morris is getting a bit of his confidence back. In case you guys missed it, Morris posterizes Blake Griffin;

i guess it didn't hurt as the move threw them off on offense. i wonder if other teams have adopted that tactics against the clippers this season

Great win. I couldn't enjoy the game as I was watching it because I never thought they had a chance. I'll watch the game again to enjoy it this time. I still don't understand how that happened.

I fully believe in playoffs now. Of course I did last year too.

April's schedule looks to be insanely tough. 13 hard games in a row to end the season. Yet, I just checked the Mavs schedule and they have a similarly tough one. Their next 12 games are against playoff teams or Western teams fighting for the playoffs. The 8th spot is wide open.

Suns were down by as many as 17 points in this game.

It was fun seeing Nash and Hill's reactions on the bench. :)

And here I thought the Suns would lose every game without Nash by 20 points or more, or so I was told. Or maybe it's because Nash was still on the bench. I'm sure if he was sitting in some other team's locker room and not on the sidelines cheering on his teammates, the Suns would have lost this one and and every other remaining game on their way to a top 3 pick. Or so I was told.

But the thing is, improbable games like these do happen every now and then. On the road, on the second night of back-to-back, missing two starters and team leaders, against a strong opponent, trailing most of the way, a team can find a bit of a rhythm and make plays when it matters the most. I've seen this happen to the Suns many teams, so it's a good feeling to be on the other end of that outcome for a change.

You're spot on. I heard the other night that the Mavs and Suns have the two toughest schedules in the NBA to end the season.

lol, thats fantastic.

Have you ever actually watched one of those stupid shows? I feel dumber every time I accidentally stumble across it.

Yes, Im sure aliens mastered intergalactic travel, came to earth and said to themselves "Great planet, but rather than settling down, lets make the idiots that live here build us a couple stone pyramids, then peace out."

The history channel has really declined. It used to be about... history, now its about pawn shops and white trash living in swamps.

Major props to Shannon Brown who's clutch free throws and shooting in the 4th enabled us to pull this one out.

Unbelievable win without Nash and Hill! Also, Morris posterizing Griffin was sweet!

I thought there's no chance the Suns make the playoffs, but it seems there is some fight in them after all.
