Hawks at Suns 7PM FSN AZ

[Griffin]

This is going to be a weird game statistically. Yes, the Hawks got 12 offensive rebounds in the 1st quarter, but those mostly came on 2 or 3 possessions. No team should give up seven offensive rebounds on one possession, but then again, no team should need seven attempts on one possession to put the ball in the hoop. The Hawks are shooting only 21% from the field.

Barbosa! It's so frustrating to watch his passes! How many turnovers already?!


And is this Amare's way to tell the Hawks "you should have traded for me in the summer when you had a chance, in the KG deal"? LOL

 

[Ciani]

That's very, very good D by the Suns so far. The Hawks often forced to take bad jump shots, while Amare and Diaw are playing excellent defense on Horford and Josh Smith respectively.

Impressive overall performance by the Suns, maybe the best of the season.

Amare 6/6 16 pts so far nice and a few blocks

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Amare is playing the best game I have ever seen from him. Domination on both ends.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Oh wow amare with a nice jumper with 3 sec left on the clock looks like his old self

 

[PHX 32]

There is not one player I would trade Amare for.

(Ok now bring on the Dwight Howard arguments...)

 

[mjb21aztd]

Great 1st half by the suns on defense and offense, and Amare and Diaw are playing amazing this game great to see Diaw do what he is doing so far . Keep it up in the 2nd half GO SUNS

There is not one player I would trade Amare for.

Sad truth to sports is no one is untradable.

 

[Griffin]

Amare & Diaw: 15/18 for 34 points at half time. Hill, however, is cold. I hope he will shake out of it in the second half.

 

[cly2tw]

The offensive reb. then passing to Marion for the dunk was just awesome.

If the Hawks weren't too cheap, they would have gotten Amare to play with JJ and win it all in two years!

haha you realize you could say the same about the suns?

 

[Ninjafish]

Rebounding is surprisingly close. The Hawks only have 6 more. If not for that one possession, it may be tied.

 

[Delmon Young]

I wish the refs would let Horford play a little... he's had some iffy calls against him. I like him a lot.

 

[cly2tw]

Marion on the lowpost with that hook? Anything goes tonight it seems. I feel sorry for the Hawks.

 

[Roca Dolla]

is boris diaw back ?

 

[Ninjafish]

Right now, there isn't many I would trade Diaw for.

 

[Hat]

sick reversal by LB in the 6th minute

 

[cly2tw]

Pike is just a disgrace to NBA basketball! Geez!

And the glaciers Pike to Marks were good enough to score! Pathetic!

 

[OldDirtMcGirt]

Nice to see us get back to our old blow out ways.

 

[Griffin]

Lots of positives in this game. Diaw and Hill combined for 32 points, 12 assists, 8 rebounds and 4 steals (Diaw 16/9/7). This is huge because now we just may have another weapon off the bench in Hill. There wasn't any noticable letdown when Nash was sitting. During one stretch in the second half, Diaw assisted on a Hill basket on three consecutive trips down the floor. Amare was unstoppable offensively and played solid defense.

The rebounds again look bad. Marion again with only 3, even though there were plenty of missed shots from Atlanta. The Hawks edge on the offensive end was 26-4. A lot of the Hawks rebounds came early in the game on a few possessions and late in the game when the lead was huge and the Suns reserves relaxed too much.

Using the secret way. Don't tell anyone if you figure it out.

I have to say I started feeling sorry for the Atlanta announcers after a while.
