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

[HooverDam]

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.

He's seemed to miss some open shots that he normally makes, its hard to say if thats due to Hill or not. The Suns perimeter defense is pretty good though, with Bell, Hill and Marion. I think they had a stat up earlier, something like the Suns are #2 in the league in opponents 3p%. If Nash would quit floating on help defense and getting blown by, and if Amare could play man defense, they'd be a good defensive team.

I think the downside of Hill playing w/ Amare, as opposed to Boris (or KT, or Skinner) is that Hill ends up guarding wing players. So instead of Boris/KT/Skinner guarding the opposing teams big man and Amare just being a help defender and going for blocks, he has to play man defense and he gets exposed.

Looked like a goaltend on Bell's floater earlier.

[Cheesebeef]

and that was just BEYOND STUPID by Barbosa. He's seriously regressed this year. Just stupid.

 

[Proteus]

Sigh

How about actually rebounding the ball?

Bad shot by LB on the Suns last possession.

 

[Nash2Amare]

How stupid..George shoots three, Barbosa doesn't seem to give a **** and stands there, balls bounces right back to where he was, but he stares some more and Howard grabs it, left wide open and sticks the J, then now he just put up some idiotic runner, which was swatted....lb blows this yr

 

[btimsah]

Diaw has been in the game for a couple of minutes and has two fouls, 1 turnover and that one jumper he missed because he's too much of a ***** to drive in.
