[Tyler]

neither team can make a shot

 

[krazyasiankid]

no charge??

 

[Proteus]

Bad pass from Nash on the inbound.

 

[Proteus]

Nice block by Amare.

 

[GorrilaLips]

Nash getting Richard jefferson and jason richardson mixed up with that pass

 

[Cheesebeef]

I did NOT like that shot Manu gave Nash on offense.

 

[AfroSuns]

Nice start to the 2nd half

 

[TBaslim]

JRich with the smart time out after he fell, but needs to watch the lip with the refs. They have actually started calling the game better. No need to flip them into 1st Q mode down the stretch.

it almost looked like he was yelling at the ref that he didn't call for the time out. That ref looked pissed when Jrich was screaming at him

 

[TBaslim]

How about that block by Amare?

 

[LV-Suns]

Where is Mojo with the Jim Beam girl pic when we need him?

 

[Proteus]

Oh geez. Hill throws the ball out of bounds as Nash fell down after a time out with a shot to get the game tied.

 

[Proteus]

From a chance to tie or lead the game to down by 7.

 

[Proteus]

Nash actually hits a shot.

 

[Tyler]

Will somebody punch Manu in the nose?

 

[Proteus]

Oh geez. More second chance points given up as McDyss gets a dunk on the offensive rebound.

 

[TBaslim]

Channing Frye on the road!

 

[Proteus]

This has the feel of one of those games where we keep it close but can never get over the hump.

 

[Cheesebeef]

this is a classic hump game.

 

[Tyler]

This has the feel of one of those where we keep it close but can never get over the hump.

Just wait til we go on a run. It will happen. 4 straight 3's are in our future.

 

[AfroSuns]

This has the feel of one of those games where we keep it close but can never get over the hump.

In this game 3 will take keeping it close and losing than getting blown out.

 

[TBaslim]

Not an ideal game, but the Suns have given themselves a chance. All you can ask for.

And I really can't stand him, but Ginobilli is a heck of a player. Dammit.

 

[slinslin]

Can't believe the amount of stupid plays we run offensively..

Whether it is Nash inbounding to a defender, Hill throwing a bullet-pass out of bounds, Amare or JRich losing their dribbles..Leaving Ginobili open..

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 61-66 with 4:51 left in the 3rd quarter.
