Suns At Hornets Game Thread

[Proteus]

Sigh...here we go again. Suns up 91-83 with 6:18 left in the 4th quarter after being up 83-63 with 2:08 left in the 3rd quarter.

Come on guys...finish the game.

17 pt lead down to 8 in 2 min! Gentry should have played a more defensive oriented unit with Dragic in and played Lou/Robin instead of Amare/Frye to not give Hornets any hope to come back! But, we were supposed an offense-first team!

 

[AfroSuns]

Lou hasnt played at all in this game, is something wrong with him?

 

[Bufalay]

Why isn't Amare in the game?

 

[Bufalay]

nevermind

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 100-98 with 1:41 left in the 4th quarter. Come on guys...finish the game.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 105-98 with 36.8 seconds left in the 4th quarter after another big shot by Hill.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 107-98 with 28.5 seconds left in the 4th quarter.

I'm tired to see Amare playing in the Nash system, Amare is always the one be blamed for the bad defence by the trolls like you.

Hopefully they will ban your account soon, troll.

Anyway Amare and Lopez look phenomenal together on the court again. Give these 2 guys 50-60 games starting together and it would be a great combo in my opinion.

Hearing Al McCoy say "This one safely tucked away in the old deep freeze," takes me back to my childhood.

 

[Proteus]

Whew. Yay!!! Suns win 109-100. Good job Suns.

The lead got down to 2 before Hill took over.

 

[Griffin]

Well, we almost blew a 20-point lead in this one, but not quite. I guess that's progress. Solid road win despite the 4th quarter meltdown. Grant Hill with two big jumpers down the stretch. The Suns did well on the offensive boards.

 

[TJ]

Followed the script on cue

Get big lead

piss big lead away

keep close until the last 2 minutes

pull away

I do like this script better than the losing one, though.

 

[Sunburn]

Another blown 20 point lead is not progress. Having a 20 point lead and then winning by 20 points in a blowout would be progress.

 

[sunsfan88]

Damn let a 20 pt lead go to make it a one possession game in the 4th QTR.

HILL=CLUTCH!!!

What was up with all the FT misses today?? Even Nash had a couple.

 

[Proteus]

Heh...the commercial for Suns tickets was a bit old mentioning tickets for sale against the Celtics and Lakers at home in december.

+1
yeah Nash is probably still bothered by abdominal pain, although he looks great tonight IMO.

 

[Cheesewater]

Another great win for the Suns!
David West sure gets a pass on fouls. I saw two fouls he committed assessed to someone else, and three other blatant fouls not whistled at all.

And you crybabies bellyaching about blown leads again...this was the second of a road back to back and the first game went to overtime.

 

[WildBB]

Hornets hit some clutch shots down the stretch, then Hill answered with his own. Solid performance all around by the Suns who clearly outplayed NO tonight. They got a little careless with their shot selection with 5 min. left and NO made them pay and play down to the wire.

Overall this team is improving with different contributions every night and Nash and Stoudemire being solid/outstanding. They don't win this w/o either one of them IMO.

 

[cly2tw]

Amare with crucial off. rebound and pts, followed by Hill's clutch pts, avoided us another embarassment.

 

[WildBB]

What's with Dragic with the 24 second clock? This guy winds the shot clock down to the end way too much. He looked very indecisive at times. Pass the rock!

Yup!!

 

[carey]

I take full credit for the win. I left when they whittled the lead to within 2 points.

Well winning games after blowing big leads is progress. Until recently the Suns were losing those games.

You deserve immeasurable credit for the Suns winning. I read your earlier post (see below) before the game.

Probably if I stay home. Everytime I go to a game here we lose. I think the last one we won here that I attended was in 06.

Suns fans owe you for taking one for the team.
