Nuggets at Suns 7PM FSN AZ NBA TV

[STATfan4Life]

I knew they would pull this one out

 

[sLapzsHaQ]

The Nuggets are in so much pressure tomorrow, that would make them vulnerable, even though it's hard to play in their home court.

 

[PHX 32]

This game left me in complete awe of this team's abilities. One of my top 5 Suns games of all time most definitely. Simply amazing I really can't even stress enough how amazed I am at how this game turned around. Unreal!!! DO IT AGAIN TOMORROW NIGHT!

 

[TJ]

Wow, what a game......loved the intensity we showed in the 2nd half. Denver is a team I worry about because they can score at will, but I realized that their biggest flaw is their absolute disregard for defense

Hopefully, they carry this momentum to tomorrow's game cuz George Karl is gonna be pissed!

 

[BillsCarnage]

Great comeback by the Suns and great choke job by the Nuggets. This was definitely something the Suns needed for building their character and new identity.

 

[PHX 32]

Nuggets will be playing their hearts out for that playoff spot so the Suns better be ready for a fight. Nonetheless, I still see us winning this since its a home game.

Suns - 128
Nugs - 119

I just wanted to point out that this is the closest I've ever been and probably will ever get to the exact line...Haha

A key stat: Raja Bell with 10 rebounds.

Raja has the ability to be as good a rebounder as any guard in the NBA, he just doesn't get a chance to show it.

Oh, and an unfreakingbelievable game tonight. I was speechless in the middle of the 4th quarter--just stunned by what I was seeing. I know we have the ability to be good, but damn, we were unstoppable in that 2nd half. NO team in the NBA can beat us when we play like that.

 

[bigfoot]

Most exciting game EVER! I got home just in time for the 2nd half so I missed the ugly part of the game. Lucky me.
So guys, what exactly did we do so differently in the 2nd half? When I turned the TV on, the commentators were saying that Bell was 1-7 and Barbs was 1-5 or something like that. So it seems that the main story is that our perimeter shooters finally started hitting their shots, forcing Denver to guard them and leave Amare / Shaq to wreak havoc inside. Is that what happened? If so, then Bell and Barbs are still the barometers of this team. We really need them to make their shots.

 

[arthurracoon]

good game

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

50 rebounds is ridamndiculous.

Nash-Amare-Shaq happenned to them... These three simply took it over!

In the 1st half, nobody of the Suns could hit an open outside shot. On defense, our perimeter defenders were just awful which led to many dunks of their front court players. Amare and Shaq were holding us in there with their inside dominance though.

 

[Suns_fan69]

This has been mentioned numerous times in other games and throughout his whole tenure here with Phoenix but has there been any suns player, past or present, that ever had the same knack for making the big shots like Nash?

To start a rally, stop a rally, or just to put the dagger in the coffin, Nash just seems to hit the big shot when it matters.

I love seeing angry Nash on the court... it just seems to inspire him.

 

[bigfoot]

Amazing. Maybe that's the formula they need to bottle up, huh? Nash, Amare, and Shaq all looking to SCORE. Defense seemed to pick up, too, after they all decided to score.

 

[Bufalay]

I could say the following to any person on earth and it would be true:

"Amare is better than you."

 

[SunDevilDon]

WHAT A GAME!!! I watched from tip to finish. I normally wouldn't keep watch the 3rd quarter of a SUNS game when down 19, but for some reason, I figured I would (got one of those feelings), and let me tell you...........

Would have been a top of all time if it had been a win at the buzzer, but from start to finish, a great example of the "tale of two halves". Perimeter D was MUCH better, the getting to the line early really paid off, and there were some great plays and calls/no calls on both sides.

Looking at the box score, it's no surprise the suns one, got to the line and out rebounded the Nuggets with pretty large disparities.

 

[jagu]

When the Suns cant pop jumpers they seem to struggle. Amare scores 30 like every night, he's unstoppable.

Lets not forget Shaq's line 20 points 12 boards 3 steals.... he's definitely playing like an AllStar for us.

 

[nashman]

Great game!! You get the feeling with the ridiculous reffing crew it pissed them all off and they took it out on Denver. If they play like that NO team in the NBA can beat them, guarantee teams around the league are taking notice and don't want to play the Suns come playoff time in a few weeks!

 

[Cheesewater]

BTW...King Rex in the house!!!!

Offensively. He has ways to go defensively.

 

[nurnay]

Holy cow, I just got back to the hotel from the game (visiting from out of town). What a game! Everyone was pretty down after the first half, even some jerks booing around us, but what an experience in the 2nd half. My voice is SHOT. Awesome game by Amare and Nash! I feel lucky to have been there to see it in person.

 

[arwillan]

I could say the following to any person on earth and it would be true:

"Amare is better than you."

you couldn't say that to Kevin Garnett, or maybe even dwight howard. I'd say Kg is the only one who can match amare offensively and dominate defensively, however.

 

[damo]

Awesome game. Very Impressive.

Now, not to be some kind of Andrew, but I really can't figure something out. I feel like a '**** for asking, and I'll probably feel stupid once someone says the answer, but in the boxscores this year, what does BA mean?

Please and thank you.

How many times that player got blocked.
