Mavs at Suns 9:30ET ESPN HD MY 45 HD

great finish to the half. Is it just me, or does it seem like every game in dallas has one of the two teams come out screaming hot in the second and then a comeback in the 2nd and a ridiculously good ball game for the duration? Being only down 6 at the half is huge.

 

[HooverDam]

Suns really picked it up in the 2nd half. There were two or three other turnovers or missed shots that the Suns had good chances to convert on, but didn't, if they did, they'd have the lead or be tied right now.

6 points down, with almost 2 seconds to go, if the Suns could get a buzzer beater 3 (or heck, even a 2), that would be huge.

Mavs go cold and now the Suns are running..

 

[jbeecham]

Wow, we actually start getting a few calls in the 2nd half of the 2nd qtr and the lead goes from 17 to only 6......amazing how that works. Now it looks like Dallas has lost some of the confidence they were given early on and they're missing their shots.

EDIT: make that a 4 pt lead.....nice play setup by D'Antoni and executed by Marion!

Wow what a sick basket by marion to end the half amazing....

 

[btimsah]

Mavs and Suns always exciting. Good play by Marion.

Defensive intensity muuuuch better in the 2nd quarter. Even JVG praised the effort.

 

[dodie53]

nice play.

 

[tobiazz]

Wow, a fragrance called Daytona 500. Is it extracted from possums or something?

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Amare needs to get some NUTS! Diaw needs to be moved yesterday! Bell start hitting 3s!

Jazz lost again... to Bobcats!

They are free falling. 1 and 8 in last 9 games!

Defensive intensity muuuuch better in the 2nd quarter. Even JVG praised the effort.

The bench set the defensive intensity early in the 2nd, and I guess Amare, Marion, and Nash got the message.

Extract of Tobacco, wet garbage essence, and elixir of body odor.

They've lose 8 of their last 9, and to some pretty poor teams as well. I'm sure there's a "Fire Jerry Sloan" thread or two on the Jazz' boards.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Skinner in particular was showing the way. I say start Skinner in the 2nd. Show the rest of the guys that defensive hustle gets you playing time.

Who am I kidding, it's D'Antoni!

 

[Cheesebeef]

if we're gonna play wild and crazy, I know exactly who we need to make a trade for... Dan Akroyd and Steve Martin! Get er done Kerr!

 

[Proteus]

Good 2nd quarter from the Suns.

Nice play out of the timeout at the end of the quarter.

 

[Cheesebeef]

ncie block by Amare, but good god he's got no lift.

 

[mjb21aztd]

yeah sad to see amare not being able to make a dunk like that anymore...

 

[mjb21aztd]

their we go amare bout fing time nice dunk their

 

[Ronin]

Nice Help D! who was that left his man to block Dirk's shot?

 

[Nash2Amare]

Wow, the difference in intensity..WHAM BAM MATRIX SLAM!

 

[Cheesebeef]

it looks like Hill might have been big not only offensively, but defensively as well, getting on Josh Howard also who routinely kills us. Haven't heard his name much tonight.
