Hornets @ Suns

[Proteus]

Darn it...it's too bad that alleyoop to Clark didn't work.

Need to get Earl the rock

I really didnt see a foul on that play.

... Amare swatted at a NO player... that's about as elementary as it gets.

Dragic is looking great, his confidence is soaring. I also like that they're trying to give Leandro plenty of touches in the 4th, get him back on his game.

Great game by the Suns.

 

[Lynx280]

looking at stats.....Goran played more than nash, hit 3 of 5 from 3pt line, 14pts, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. great game for him. Also lou and dudley were great for us...we need to lock them down long term

wow awsome game for the suns by blowing the horents out I thought it would be close. Great games by Nash and Amare also Dragic had a good game good to see. I just love the play of Dudley I feel like were in every game cause of him and nash we do need to sign up dudley long term. Great start to the season suns let it continue in LA. I just can imagine the media attention we will get if we beat the lakers in LA. LETS GO SUNS!!!!! 8-1 WOW JUST WOW

I just looked at team stats so far- they are shooting 47% for threes, with JRich shooting 58%, Nash 49%, and Barbosa and Fry 44%.
They are pulling as many boards as they are giving up, and shooting over50% from the field.
I was surprised to see that JRich is averaging over 5 boards and 2 assists per game in addition to 20 points. Hill is pulling almost 9 rebounds in just over 30 minutes, and Fry and Dudley combine for almost 3 steals per game.

They are averaging MORE rebounds than last year, scoring one point more and giving up 2 points less than last year. FG% is better, and opponents' FG% is lower.

Dudley absolutely. Amundson needs to improve in a few areas. Right now I feel like he's Marion-lite, but he makes a lot of turn overs, has no midrange -> long range game, and his FT % is abysmal. I love that like Marion his second jump occurs before 1/2 of everyone's first jump though. Can't teach a motor like he has.

All I can say is what an extremely entertaining game to watch this was, this is the first time in years we have had a solid bench and 9 player rotation.

We might actually be able to at least compete with the lakers too since our staters at least got a little rest in this game.

Anyone hear if the game wound up selling out?

Not sold out - about 3/4 full. Halfway thru the 4th qtr lots of people were leaving

Pretty typical. Lot's of people there with kids. We sometimes leave early depending on the game, game time and the score. Would love to stay for the entire game but sometimes it's not feasible, especially if my kids have school the next day.

I will be at this Sunday's game against Detroit. Depending on how the game goes we might leave early. I am trying to convince the wife to let the kids sleep in and take them to school late.

Great hustle from Dudley..
Bynum is killing us... 7 rebounds in 13 minutes...
