Kings at Suns 4/16

[goldseraph]

I saw ads on ESPN this week that this game was going to be broadcasted tonight as an NBA 'Special Edition'. Now it's not showing on my local schedule or ESPN's schedule... anyone know what happened?

It's on NBAtv. Get ready for plenty of crowd shots & puff interviews during the game, while the little clock ticks underneath, to let you know that you're missing something.

I wonder which fourth-rate celebrity will be doing the play-by-play during crunch time tonight?

Our last game of the season is against the Kings and that IS on ESPN.

Suns ran away with this one. Nash only played 26 minutes and took 3 shots.
Barbosa had 17 PTS, 6 REB, 3 AST off the bench with 5-5 shooting and 7-8 FT.

Amare was too much for the Kings, compiling 38 PTS, 9 REB, and 3 BLK.
Has anyone else noticed Amare upping his defensive intensity lately, particularly in blocking shots?

That third quarter was great! I would have hated to be a Kings fan watching that. They just got completely blown off the floor. Stoudemire was as dominant in that quarter as he's ever been, and if he had made that three at the buzzer, the roof would have come off the building.

Awesome!!!

After sleep walking through the last few weeks, I was beginning to wonder if the Suns were losing their edge. It had been a while since they played well against a quality team. Tonight they showed they can.

Maybe it wouldn't have been so easy if Peja had played, but the Suns held the Kings to 38.1% shooting, out rebounded them 53-47, and had 9 blocks (and at least one goal tend that could have gone either way).

Amare had another monster game: 38 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 8-11 free throw shooting.

Johnson had a great game: 22 points on 9-15 shooting and 4-5 for three.

Barbosa went 5 of 5 shooting, 7-8 free throw shooting, had 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

Q is still not shooting well, but he did grab 6 rebounds.
