so Amare is going off and Bell is launching threes? this team is stupid man, good thing they have talent.

 

[dodie53]

Nope, I hadn't noticed it. Maybe we should get the color commentators to talk about it, or have a half dozen threads about it.

ill tempered..

 

[TJ]

Hopefully, Nash will sit out tomorrow nights game against Portland.We should be able to handle them

why shoot 3's when your up by seven all we need are regular baskets just give it to amare he is making everything right now

I understand wanting to go for the throat but your right, they should go to Amare every single time down the stretch.

Because some of the players can't accept that they have a dominating bigman. Raja acts like a highschool girl with his obession with threes.

 

[Ryanwb]

Carmelo has a triple double

 

[mjb21aztd]

and thats your ball game good win by the suns without nash and Amare just had a awsome game.

 

[JWF]

Can anyone explain why this team cant play solid defense for 4 quarters?

They do this all the time ive noticed. Play horrible in teh 1st half, then settle down in the 2nd. Im glad they do actually make an effort, but if they played some in the 1st half of ball games, they would make things alot easier on themselves.

We have a WIN!

 

[az1965]

Much much better rebounding in the 2nd half...

If they did, they wouldnt lose a single game.

That's the NBA. Show me a team that can play solid defense for 4 qrts and I will show you a team that can't score.

 

[dodie53]

nash should rest that shoulder..

 

[TJ]

Wel....I guess im happy we won. Better than a loss

 

[PHX 32]

Just a great win, I mean it really shows that we can fight in this kind of scrappy game w/o Nash, which is good, though I don't recommend that happening too much. Feels good to know other players can carry this team besides the MVP.

 

[mribnik]

For anyone watching, how did Amare get his points? Did he post up? Drive from the elbow? Did he create for himself or was he set up by teammates? It's great to see him dominate a game without Nash.

Well, Im talking play any Defense in the 1st half. The last several games they havnt played very much at all early.

Obviously in basketball you arent going to stop the other team all the time.

Im not really trying to complain, but this team is capable of playing more consistent D. Which would make them even more lethal.

 

[Folster]

freethrows!

 

[mjb21aztd]

god dammit guys come on dont choke this win...

 

[cly2tw]

Could that be that with Nash out we played much better defense to win it?

 

[dodie53]

camby didn't play?

 

[Griffin]

2-4 free throws so far. And we let Denver score at will. Not a good way to close out a game.

 

[JWF]

camby didn't play?

apparently not.

Both teams are limping with injuries right now...Its not a big deal.

 

[cly2tw]

What was on Marion's mind to foul Anthony on the last play? Ony one possion game now!
