Mavericks @ Suns

[Proteus]

Amare picks up his 4th foul. Suns up 95-71 with 2:45 left in the 3rd quarter.

 

[mojorizen7]

Grant Hill playing some outstanding defense...

 

[mojorizen7]

Reminds me of the way Raja used to "D" up everynight.

 

[Sovereignz]

I really believe if this team stays healthy, they will be a force come playoff time.

I think if we could somehow match up with the Nuggets, Jazz and Rockets or something, we'd be golden. But of course our path to Finals will be San Antonio > New Orleans > LAL.

It also just depends on how the "other" guys do. We all know what we're going to get from Shaq, Amare, and Steve in the playoffs. But how many times have we been let down by the other guys? Hopefully J-Rich can be the guy that Marion and Barbosa weren't/aren't.

 

[Nash2Amare]

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou

 

[Sovereignz]

Oh. And I LOVE LOU.

 

[95pro]

i'll say it again.

i love lou's game!!!!!

 

[Hat]

40 pts in the 3rd quarter!!!

Holy sheet!!

Is that near the record for most pts in a quarter?

 

[Andrew]

This is freaking awesome, 40 points in the 3rd. We are finally blowing out a team on national television. My head hurts from all these shots.

 

[zod]

Lou was such a great pick up.

Now just work on those Free Throws!

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 104-77 after the 3rd quarter. Suns shooting 65% with 5/10 3 pointers, Mavs shooting 42% with 8/16 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 7 turnovers, Mavs 9.

Suns have 9 offensive rebounds, Mavs 11.

Suns have hit 15/17 free throws, Mavs have hit 15/16 free throws.

 

[jagu]

If Lou could make free throws hed be a starter.

 

[mojorizen7]

Amare looks like a spectator whenever he's not shooting the basketball.

 

[95pro]

nice pass my amare. very unselfish.

 

[Sovereignz]

Amare's vision has always been really impressive, this is the first year he's been unselfish though (even if he still forces some shots sometimes).

If he could just do a better job of protecting the ball when it's in his hands I could definitely see him being used like C-Webb in Sacramento, with a less polished but more explosive post game. Not to that level obviously but his passing has been very, very impressive.

 

[95pro]

tucker is in.

 

[95pro]

84-115. 6:34 left to go in the game.

 

[95pro]

tragic is in as well.

 

[95pro]

the rebound falls right into lopez' lap...and he kicks it out of bounds.

 

[95pro]

lopez finally shows some power.

 

[mojorizen7]

2 pts. Is that a career high for Tucker?

 

[Andrew]

Tucker sighting. I love how when teams are blowing out, they don't care about player's positions, they just empty the bench and say "go ahead"...

Dragic scored...

 

[cly2tw]

Dragic has quite good court vision and composure. Once he improves his jump shots and gets used to guarding NBA players, he'd be fine.

 

[mojorizen7]

Is Lou Amundsen going to be the Kurt Rambis of this generation?
I'll take that.
(The LAKERS Kurt Rambis)

 

[Hat]

Dragic has quite good court vision and composure. Once he improves his jump shots and gets used to guarding NBA players, he'd be fine.

I saw Porter chewing him out for not passing the ball and shooting for the second time. I didn't see a problem with it, not many options to go to. Porter must really dislike him for some reason.
