Come on DEFENSE!

 

[Proteus]

Tough shot by Nash.

 

[desertdawg]

Frye done growd up.

 

[Proteus]

Nice spin move by Frye.

 

[Bert]

That spin away jumpshot Frye just made might have been the best offensive play I've ever seen him make.

WOW that was pretty

 

[desertdawg]

Yamon, defense plus points.

 

[Proteus]

Running layup by Gortat puts the Suns up 98-92 with 3:01 left in the 4th quarter. Come on guys...finish the game.

That is all well and good but he needs to be a much better power player. All those Sissy layups and week drive to the hoops needs to be improved. hopefully he will in the off season.

 

[edukator1]

We can do it I fell it

 

[Proteus]

Good d by Hill leads to an offensive foul by Joe Johnson.

 

[Proteus]

Frye with a big bucket.

You don't have to dunk it every time amigo, plus Gortat hits his "sissy" free throws too.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 100-92 with 1:31 left in the 4th quarter. Suns ball.

Correct, but he could have had a lot more "and 1" if he is more aggressive

 

[Proteus]

Oh geez. Suns give a fast break dunk to Smith.

 

[Proteus]

Whew. Frye with a tough shot to beat the buzzer. Suns up 102-94 with 36.3 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Hawks full timeout.

 

[desertdawg]

Frye's all around game as of late is scarey good, boards, defense, and his shot is getting so confident.

 

[desertdawg]

Nice game Suns! 27 more to go, (not counting the playoffs).

 

[Proteus]

Yay!!! Suns win 105-97. Good win Suns, very good 1st half.

 

[Griffin]

With the game tied at 92 with just over 5 minutes to go in the game, the Suns go on 13-5 run to secure the victory. The lineup that got it done? Nash, Dudley, Hill, Frye and Gortat.

The Suns did really well without Nash in the first half, building a double-digit lead by outscoring the Hawks by 12 in 9 minutes. Unfortunately, in the second half they tripped up again, getting outscored by 6 in just four minutes. So there was some progress there, with Dragic playing better and the bench guys getting stops and crashing the boards. If only they could have maintained that in the fourth quarter.

The Nash-led unit closed out the game very well, but they too were outscored by the Hawks in the third quarter, allowing Atlanta to close the deficit to single digits going into the last quarter.

Frye with another great game, Gortat and Nash with double-doubles again, Dudley with one of his better games recently. Carter another quiet game in limited minutes.

 

[jagu]

Frye was a beast tonight, same with Gortat. Wow can't believe I put Frye and beast in the same sentence. He's totally changed his game..

 

[Covert Rain]

This was actually a really nice win. The Hawks are considered one of the good teams and I think this helps the Suns confidence.

Seriously....we need to go on a roll early. I would rather see the team go on an early win streak and get into position versus it going down to the last game of the season. With our luck it would and we would lose on a last minute shot by Manu and give back all the good karma we enjoyed when we knocked out the Spurs.

 

[Chaplin]

This road trip is the most important stretch of the season IMO. We come out of it 4-2 or better and we will make the playoffs, anything less and it's over.
