Pardon my Engrish
I would like to see less threes, although it's hard to complain, I just think this team falls back on that too much at times.

Suns pulling away again for another easy win. They got really stagnant in the 3rd and start of the 4th qtr when the Wizzers made their run, but Nash came back in with 9:00 to go in the 4th and got them back on track.
*****CAUTION RANT ENSUING***********
I hate the way NBA Refs refuse to call fouls for a team once they have a large lead in a game. It's like the refs make it their own personal responsibility to make the game closer. They've helped so many teams make huge comebacks and take the winning team completely out of their rhythm and caused many teams to lose games they should've won easily. Obviously a better team should be able to overcome bad officiating and continue to win the game, but it's absolute crap that they should have to overcome bad officiating in order to win. Any team can get extremely hot at any time and go on runs and when they're also getting every call it just reinforces their confidence to the point that it can be hard for the team to overcome that was winning by 15-20+.

The Suns got their share of calls earlier.
Once again... Nash was the best player on the floor tonight.
This was another impressive game by all involved. I especially liked seeing the reserves do the most damage in the 2nd quarter. That was the ball game, right there.
They may or may not know it, but James and Jumaine Jones are going to play huge roles down the stretch and into the playoffs.
What a pleasure it is to watch this team just shut up opposing crowds (and even have them oooohing and aaaahing). Not sure how many of you actually realize what the Suns have cooking, but this is something special.

lol, so true! I'd be surprised if many have actually seen that movie though, haha.

Better off silent
I must say, I have been pleasantly surprised at how we've played with KT on the shelf. Of course, it'd be better if he was available, but I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable about the next 4 weeks or so.
As it stands, this team looks pretty unbeatable right now--even when we have off-nights, we still end up winning, a lot of times by A LOT.

I'm not just talking about tonight. We face this in almost every game we play. We get leads in almost every game and then the pity calls start. We had Amare & Marion in foul trouble right away, we still run up a big lead and then the no calls start. Etan Thomas threw Nash to the ground to grab a rebound -no call, then he bulldozed Bell as Bell went under a screen and actually knocked Bell to the ground and Arenas hits a wide open 3 and no call. If the game is close then those calls are made and thats just a small sample.

Love Games!
Stick a fork in Arenas! He is now on my idiotic players list so I was glad we humiliated his team on their home court.

we're so good that so-called 'good-wins' don't even count anymore.
if we came in and beat a really good (and FULLY HEALTHY) washington team by 4-5 points in a hard-fought game, people be like 'wow, they finally won against a good team'
but we beat them SO bad, people are like 'they won, but obviously wiz aren't good anyways'
we demolish people so bad that they can't be taken seriously anymore and thus we can't be given credit for beating them!

It will be fun to read the newspapers in Washington tomorrow,........that is, about the Suns/Wizards game.
We will see how they rate Nash and the Suns now!

I tell ya, as soon as Stoudamire came back with 7 min. left, that squashed any comeback the Wizards had hopes of. That team is unstoppable with him.

While I do think this team is flat out lethal this was a very gratifying win. I love the fact that they came out with that often intangible ‘killer instinct’ and blasted a good Wizards team in all 4 quarters. I think the killer instinct is something that we haven’t seen from this team over the past couple of years (and the past couple of games too).

There was another bad call so obvious, I can't get it out of mind mind. Late in the game a Wizards player Nash was guarding was so intent on getting the ball down the court that he reached out his left hand and shoved Nash to the floor. And this was no inadvertent play. It bothered me because there was some space between Nash and the player so the referees couldn't help but see the player shove Nash down to get away from him.
Yes, the referees just choked on their whistle when the Suns were winning big, especially in the second half. IMO, this is how players get injured and often how fights start. This is not about whining about bad calls because the Suns were winning big. I just don't like the referees not calling it both ways.
