Well, that's too nice place towo of those careless passes, but it's been Marbury turned the ball over. The first one lead to an easy layup. They were lucky they didn't get a "clear path to the basket" penalty on the second one.

Should be a lousy game to watch/listen to.

Suns better lose this game.

Reverse psychology... an interesting approach.

Those were some weak calls against Jacobsen then Jake Voskuhl against Steve Francis.

Kelvin Cato is killing us.

Is anyone else getting tired of this team?

I could care less if they traded the entire team as long as they keep the rookies and Amare, and maybe Stephon Marbury.

Have they now tried the same play 3 times and 3 times Cato stole the ball?

Go away.

We have 5 total assists. Shawn Marion hasn't been doing anything.

And here comes small ball...

Complain, complain, complain...

You can't find one single thing good about this team, can you?

Who are you? I don't remember you ever being this negative. Are you even watching the game? If not, I'm not sure how you can be so critical.

Yes, Shawn Marion is struggling from the field, but I like the way they are moving on offense. I'm telling you slin. If you could watch this team you would see that Mike D'Antoni is doing a very good shot with what he has.

Wow, according to Yahoo's live box score, Marbury is really tearing it up. Already 30 minutes at halftime!

He played shooting guard AND point guard for 6 minutes.

Shawn Marion and Joe Johnson are a combined 8-24 so for tonight JJ started off well, but he kind of struggled in the third quarter. Fortunately Marbury is shooting the lights out.

[Cheesebeef]

JJ with some huge shots - nice.

 

[3rdside]

JJ you muthafu*ker! dunk and one, three pointer assisted by CJ. Damn this will be a big win if we can hold them off

 

[slinslin]

Well Joe, how can you not be frustrated?

We are the absolutely worst team in the West, we are far worse than the Denver Nuggets!

Everyone in the West made improvements in the offseason and we did literally nothing because the Colangelos worry more about the money and riding out the contracts of Penny and Googs instead of improving the team.
There wasn't even the slightest rumor.

Then they make a trade for a player to cut more salary just to turn around and trade that player again and take on more salary.

There is almost no way we can get back into the playoff picture.

I don't really want to trade any of our big name players until we have seen what a lineup of Marbury, Marion, Zarko, Amare, Center can do but I sure wouldn't mind changes especially if they involve Googs or Penny.

 

[creed]

Marion 20 pts & 10 boards

He's so overpaid....

 

[3rdside]

hey the nuggets were top of the midwest till today - actually they haven't lost to seattle just yet...

 

[Joe Mama]

Thank you Steve Francis. What in the world was he complaining about? He reached out and that Marbury across both of his arms. It was a stupid play because he had Marbury totally bottled up.

Houston fans have to pretty pissed off that we are stealing this one from them when they outrebound us and double our FTA despite playing on the road.

 

[George O'Brien]

38 points in the 4th Quarter

FANTASTIC

 

[Billythekid]

Another solid performance by Marion. hopefully all the bashers shut the f%$K up now.

GO SUNS!

Scott Williams with the 3!!! Shuuzaam! Dang.. another one!!!

We have our new SG!

 

[SirStefan32]

It was about time they win one freaking game. Let's hope they build some momentum now.

What stats are you looking at? The Rockets outrebounded the Suns by 5 and attempted 6 more free throws. The Phoenix Suns played very good defense for since 16 turnovers to just 12 for Phoenix (2 of those turnovers for the Suns were balls that inexplicably flew out of Marbury's hands).

The Phoenix Suns outplayed Houston tonight and won the basketball game. They had a great fourth-quarter, which is what they have been needing and lacking over the last several games. It's what everybody on this message board has been calling for, so what's the problem now?
