Phoenix @ Dallas - Game Thread - Wed. Mar 14, 2007 - 6:00 pm

[Kel Varnsen]

What a game!

 

[CaptainInsano]

You would think that if Barbosa was in the wrong it would be better for the refs to let the play continue, with Barbs being out of position.

Bad call.

I gotta see that again, from what I saw it seemed terry created most of the contact.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Classy move by Cuban to shove the camera out of the way there. Ugh.

Cuban's a tool.

 

[CaptainInsano]

Dirk shows why he's the MVP... wait a second...

ahahahahahah

 

[az1965]

SUNS WIN!!

Suns Win!!!!!!!

 

[green machine]

I gotta see that again, from what I saw it seemed terry created most of the contact.

I agree. Terry pushed off but got the call anyways.


Whatever, Suns are awesome.

 

[sly fly]

Suck on that, Mark.

 

[CaptainInsano]

Dirk chokes a free throw and 2 shots, nash hits a lethal 3 and causes an insanely crafty turnover.

*edit: AFAIC Mavs didn't have harris but suns basically won this without diaw also.

*Edit 2: Just saw and remembered on sportscenter nash getting howard in the air for those free throws.

 

[Ronin]

Marions defense was very good in the second OT, plus he got the stop that the suns needed on Dirks final shot.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Wow...

Can't objectively decide which is better, the Nets Triple OT classic or this game but I tell you what, this was much more satisfying.

Great game. Can't wait for the playoffs.

 

[jbeecham]

It really helped that the refs finally got Dampier out of there, he was killing us on the boards.

 

[az1965]

Marion should be a serious front runner for defensive player of the year.

 

[dodie53]

i'm starting to hate diaw..

almost non-existent

 

[dodie53]

and i hate myself for not watching the last seconds of regulation..

me and my family ate..

and i thought the suns where done for..

 

[Chris_Sanders]

i'm starting to hate diaw..

almost non-existent

I feel this way as well. I was happy when he would get fouls because it would get him off the court.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Marion should be a serious front runner for defensive player of the year.

Agreed. The unsung hero for me. Also had the key offensive rebound for Nash's game tying 3 at end of regular time.

 

[devilalum]

Nash is MVP!

Just look at who turned it up a notch in the clutch and who faded.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Marion should be a serious front runner for defensive player of the year.

Redemption....

 

[jw7]

I don't watch NBA that much but that was insane entertainment.

The Suns are just a fun team to watch.

 

[TJ]

wow....what a game!!!!!

 

[devilalum]

I know Amare's never gonna be Bill Russell but you can't make Freakin Dampier look like Dennis Rodman.

 

[TJ]

i will say this though: we got very lucky towards the end of regulation. This game could have easily been won by the Mavs in regulation

 

[Suns_fan69]

The most satisfying part about the win is that we came from 16 down in the 4th to do it. Only because it's a reversal of last year's playoffs where Dallas did the same in our building.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Cuban pushing the camera away was possibly one of the biggest crybaby things I have seen in a long time.

I absolutely loathe the man. He ALWAYS makes himself bigger than the game.

 

[sly fly]

Once again, Nash proves why he belongs in the same breath as Bird, Magic, and Michael... IF he wins PHX a title this year.

He hits 3 FT's late.

He hits the game-tying 3.

He drives past Terry for another layup.

He takes the charge.

He deflects the inbounds pass off of Terry.

And, he mixes it up for the last rebound.

That, my friends... is all man.
