Mavs @ Suns 5/30/2006 game thread scouting report

[hsandhu]

Two Things:

1) Tim Thomas usually has one idiotic turnover per quarter, which he couples with fouling when we are already in the penalty.

2) Hopefully I'll be proved wrong, but this feels exactly like the last game, and I feel a loss.

Had a chance to put this game away but instead can't finish the half strong and let the Mavs right back into the game. 2 points in the final 3 minutes is a JOKE

Why does this seem so damn familiar? Oh yeah its because we've done that every freaking 1st half this series

If we don't start out the 3rd qtr strong, I'm afraid that our season will be finished very shortly

Dallas hanging around with Nowitzki having a real bad game so far. We need to start pulling away slightly to give ourselves some 4th quarter cushion.

 

[Ryanwb]

Barbosa is on fire

 

[az1965]

Nice close of 3rd quarter -- for a change!

 

[Billy Bob]

We're going to have an even better fourth

 

[Evil Ash]

Diaw posterized Nowitzki!

Unfortunately the refs blew a call and gave them momentum back

Coming out party for Barbosa!! another 3!

 

[az1965]

This is Suns BBall!!!!!

 

[devilfan02]

We only have 6 turnovers through 3 Quarters. Amazing! Go Suns!

 

[az1965]

Bell hurt on his last drive. Limping.

 

[devilfan02]

Yeah he's out now but took an offensive foul before he left the game. Love that guy!

 

[az1965]

Diaw!! The French Man!!

 

[az1965]

Howard hurt! holding his ankle...

 

[devilfan02]

Howard hurt! holding his ankle...

He's fine. He was acting

 

[S_Nash]

Suns on a 20-4 run over the last 8 minutes.

5.47 to go in the 4th.

Damn!

 

[Billy Bob]

When The Suns have had their backs against the wall this is how they've played all playoffs long, I wish I had cable

 

[Billy Bob]

Kt

 

[az1965]

[az1965]

Empty the benches...

PLayer of the Game The Blur>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Evil Ash]

Very good and very important win (obviously).

The best part of the game other then having Raja back was that Steve Nash played only 3 minutes in the 4th qtr so he should be fresh next game. Leandro was fantastic and the real scary part is even though we blew them out, we can still do better ... Marion and TT both had off games

So can we just fast forward to game 7 since this team only seems to win when it has to?

 

[jbeecham]

Diaw was huge too. Those dunks in the 3rd were unbelieveable. I think they really energized the team even more and he and Marion should be going strong like that every time.

 

[Billy Bob]

Best 2 out of 3, I like the suns chances
