Hello? That was a huge play. Sealed the game for us. No commentary? This board is dead.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 106-103 with 6.9 seconds left in the 4th quarter.

Don't give up the 3, 3 point plays, or offensive rebounds.

despite Crawford's best attempt to give the game to Orlando with that crappy clock assessment, Suns win!!

 

[Sovereignz]

Damn, great win right there even if we did almost blow a big lead! Major props to Steve, Amare and STUDLEY!!

Men that was a nail-biter

 

[AfroSuns]

Dudley is gradually taking Frye's minutes.... I Like it!

 

[Proteus]

Whew. Yay!!!!! Suns win 106-103. Good job Suns.

We are so lucky in this game! They gave us the TOs right back and Howard fumbled the 2 huge offensive rebounds. My goodness!

 

[AfroSuns]

Props to the Magic for a great comeback, playing their second game in 2 nights.

 

[GorrilaLips]

Freakin' Crawford....why am I not surprised.

Amare redeemed himself for the mis-read earlier from Nash with his brick hands....to the monster rebound and jam. Nice.

 

[Sovereignz]

By the way, it was kind of gutsy but I LOVED Gentry's decision to go small with Dudley in there to end the game while Frye was struggling tonight. That game strikes me almost as one of those classics that D'Antoni would let slip away while he fumed and stomped at the refs..

Tomorrow night is gonna suck in Denver, we need to get something big out of our role players because Steve and Amare are probably going to be completely gassed..

Orlando deserved to lose with Howard getting one shot attempt in 42 mins. One shot attempt; are you kidding me? I know he doesn't have the greatest offensive repertoire and that the Suns doubled him and fouled him basically anytime he got the ball, but that's just horrible on Orlando's part. Neither Amare nor Frye are strong enough to consistently bang with him.

We were also lucky that Carter and Redick got hurt during the game. Redick was hot when he got injured. We really need to work on our defensive details and plans and have ways to stop other teams' hot shooting hands. When Nelson is back, we'll have no chance against the Magics as there is simply no cure for the def. weakness of Nash. Luckily, Magic's defense is not the best either.

If you watched the game, you'd know that we over double-teamed Howard from 2nd quarter on. That led to a lot of big 3s from their other players and one main reason they came back steadily. Coming back from 19pt in the 2nd q. and 14 pt in the 3rd to almost win the game, they did something right.

I agree, the Magic are just a unique team.. We don't have the defense no matter what we do to contain BOTH Howard and all those ten million 3 point shooters they have.

Luckily we matched up small vs. small with them really well to close the game out though. And not that we really have to worry about it because of the Lakers, but I think if we ever were to see the Magic in a 7 games series I think I'd rather it be them than a fully healthy and playoff motivated Celtics team..
