Suns at Pacers Game Thread

[LV-Suns]

Get the ball out of the hands of Diaw.

awesome Diaw airball with amare under the hoop and a giveaway

 

[LV-Suns]

Wow.. Diaw with a reverse alleyoop.

 

[Bufalay]

first game i've watched since the spurs. their d looks good

 

[Bufalay]

... What else would you call it?

haha

2 min left, only 3 pt lead. Nash was put in for Dragic a little too early when the lead was 10.

Dude, its a two possession game.
Trailing by four points might be a better way to put it, but saying the spurs are losing the game at that point is more than jumping to conclusion.

Another good way to put it is SA is losing by 4.

 

[Hat]

Amare with career high 51 pts!!

 

[Lefty]

Nice to see the Suns getting off to a better start than in previous years. Maybe Amare can get MVP this year.

If an 81 point game didn't do it for Kobe, it'll take more than a 51 point game for Amare.

 

[Roca Dolla]

the amare haters feel like **** tonight lol

gotta love the STAT!

GO SUNS!!!

 

[AfroSuns]

WOW!!! Amare was a beast tonight

 

[Cheesebeef]

that was one of the most impressive basketball performances I've ever seen. 51, 11, 6, 5 and 3... are you kidding me?

another nice W, especially on the road on a back to back down a starter.

 

[Bayless2Budinger]

Amare only had 49 GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

The scorekeepers accidnetly gave him one of Diaws baskets.

 

[Roca Dolla]

how crazy is this statline ?

Amare: 51 points/11 rebounds/6 assists/5 steals/2 blocks/15-15ft/17-21 fg

WOW!

I wondered how he went from 43-47 without getting 45?

I saw that too but went along. I could have swore he had 2 more in the 1st half, although I had to watch the game on NBA.com because I just moved to Tucson.

 

[DeAnna]

Wow, Amare had an impressive performance 49pts/11rb/6asst/2 blks (they had accidentally given him one of Diaw's buckets).

Even more impressive was his defense. Grant Hill also had a great defensive game.

Great 2nd half performance - they played inspired defense and got the stops when they needed them ... <sniff, sniff> almost brought a tear to my eye

 

[LV-Suns]

Parker with 50 pts

 

[Ronin]

Amare Stoudemire didn't let a quick start (21 points in the first quarter) go to waste. Stoudemire nabbed a 40-10-5-5 game to join an exclusive club.

I didnt get to watch the game, but even though we were down for most of the game, our entire team didnt give up and we eventually fought back, even being short handed w/o Barnes and a Shaq who thought he wasnt going to play today.

 

[Irish]

The Suns seem to struggle with their first half work. Tonight the Pacers scored 66 in the first half but only 37 in the second. This is the team that beat the Celtics a few games ago.

With Shaq playing only limited minutes and Lopez held out, they go good work from Amundson who had 5 rebounds in 10 minutes and shot 2 of 3 and 2 of 2 from the line.

This is the kind of game that reminds people just why Amare is more than a nice player: 17 of 21 (2 misses were despirattion shots as the buzer was going off). Add in 15 of 15 from the line and you get a really unstoppable force.

A close game.

WOW!

Looked good on my fantasy squad too.
Missed most of this one again tonight(work sucks i need DVR).
SUNS 4-1 despite still finding their way on offense & defense under new coaching staff......i'm pleasantly surprised.
Looking forward to watching this team grow in the coming months.
