Great win for the suns tonight they need a game like this vs a quality team :), it was good to see Richardson and Shaq tear up the mavricks. I was nervous about this game since it was espn and the suns usually don't play well on national tv games but glad they decided to show up for this one gj suns!!!!

great game for the suns! I am not very impressed with this year's mavs team. they have had some nice wins this year, but i just can't see them getting out of the first round if they get to the playoffs. they seemed to have been exposed of late even in wins against losing teams. on the flip-side I think the suns have something that they can build on with shaq playing better and making free throws. I love the addition of j-rich for the suns....as long as he can learn from his off field issue. the suns have it at the offensive end no doubt. If they can rebound and play defense they will contend in the playoffs. I really wish the mavericks would have tried to get a guy like j-rich considering they don't have a shooting guard and terribly lack dribble penetration in the half court setting. they better address that soon or they will continue to slide.

Fantastic game. Especially how we didn't let them back in the game.

Good to see Dragic being aggressive and he made a nice bounce pass to Lopez (which I think he caught?). I really like our bench and Porter's rotations.

I am kind of shocked the Mavs are not better this year. I remember when the trade for JK went down...many in this forum were like...uh oh.

the mavs were without stack, and Josh Howard for most of the 2nd half. When howard went out, they folded as no one could guard Jrich or score aside from Jett and Dirk. I thought that Harris/Kidd trade was a downgrade from day one. Harris killed the suns, and did so later at NJ. Kidd is one guy you can let alone on the perimeter and a career 40% shooter all around.
