Mavericks @ Suns

[Proteus]

Wow. Great job.

 

[95pro]

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.

in dragic's situation. i like to see him shoot in this game.
its not like he's surrounded by great finishers.

Hero of the night: Grant Hill for his defense on Dirk!

Shaq, JR, and LB coming as second heros.

What about Nash for having 0 TO's for the night?

WOW, what a game!!! That was just amazing- in 2nd half we finally saw what this team looks like when everything is clicking. I hope they keep this up.

 

[Andrew]

This game was just beautiful to watch. The offense just kicked it into high gear and they came out with intensity. Glad to see us blow out a team and basically have our starters only play 3 quarters. This is an awesome feeling. Way to go Suns.

 

[French Fries]

if we play like this on a given night, i don't care if we play against the all-star team...

 

[Andrew]

Shaq has been the most consistent player on this roster, you know what to expect from him when he plays, he had one hell of a game...

25 points
7-7 FT
10 rebounds
2 blocks

Pretty sure he was telling him to let the offense pass over the backcourt. Dragic fouled Barrea(?) in the backcourt stupidly.

Ya no **** you know what to expect from Shaq. He's been in the league long enough doing the same thing. It shouldn't be much of a surprise, but yea great game from the cactus. Ahhahaha. cactus...
And a really uplifting game overall. Much love for the Suns.

 

[Proteus]

Suns had 68 points in the paint, Mavs 18.

Suns had 16 fast break points, Mavs 2.

 

[Hayduke]

I forgot to mention but was thinking during the game, that the Suns were swarming the paint the whole game. Which obviously led to a lot of open looks from the 3 but the Mav's just couldn't keep them dropping. I'm feeling good about the defense coming around come playoff time.

That was an NBA beatdown.

Shaq changes the game, Marion does NOT. And since he's hitting FT, just dump it down to the Big Diesel all day!

 

[jagu]

The Suns and Shaq are finally figuring things out. We lost to Indy but I dont think we'd lose if we had Shaqzilla. We lost on 2 buzzer beaters and a 52 point game. Bring on the competition, the best of the Suns is yet to come.

 

[jagu]

One thing Nash needs to quit completely leaving his man for a weak double team. He is too small to actually do anything even if he goes and helps say Hill guarding Nowitzki.

Andrew, your credibility grows with the big guy. I missed the game tonight but it is easy to see Shaq is the man.

Shaq's the hero, he opened up the court for some outside shots!

Our fastbreak pts mostly stemmed from STOPS! That's what Porter aimed at the start of the season.

What about Nash for having 0 TO's for the night?

That's certainly some feat too, though he had a pair of careless passes almost stolen. He did good job not to make too many risky passes on halfcourt offense. But his best contribution for tonight was his defensive attention, IMO. He stayed with his man quite consistently over the whole game, only occasionally drifting into paint to help which he used to do too much. For one game, the opp. small guards Terry and Barea didn't go off like usual.

Dude it's because he's a freakin vampire! Goren Dragic....


Great game by the Suns, most fun I've had watchin them in a while.

On offense, yes. But we played very good defense which was the reason we won. They were hot in the first half with Howard and Kidd. Normally, when those hot guns go cold, Dirk is always there to pick up the slack. But this time, Hill frustrated him in the 3rd and we pulled away from there. But both deserve the game ball.

The Pacers lose by only 3 to the Lakers. However, the Suns definitely need Shaq to be a legit contender.

 

[95pro]

shaq had the most rebounds with 10.
then lou with 7.
then stat & barnes with 5.
but everyone else chipped in here and there.

btw, what happened to ericka dampier? lol

 

[AceP]

Is it the first time this season we blow out a highly ranking team? Just one great game. Let's keep it up.

 

[Covert Rain]

Wow. This is what I think the Suns had in mind when they said a hybrid of running and half court. I never thought I would ever be able to say the Suns played great half court basketball and fast break basketball.....IN THE SAME GAME. Just Wow.

Whoever it was that called JRich was going to have a great game.....kudos. I think he is getting more comfortable and the team is figuring out how effective he is coming off screens. He was just snapping that net. Oh...and that dunk was once again sick.

Good job Louuuuuuuuuuuu. Glad to see you back Barbs. The Diesel is playing at an All Star level.....Nash took care of the ball. The only thing that could have been better is Amare having a great game too.

Good job.

 

[bigfoot]

Argh! Our first blowout in months and League Pass blacked it out.
Anybody know where I can watch it?
