Nash saves the day. But the Suns must reconsider the Shaq resting strategy. Yes, we should have been able to win regardless against a team like OKC, but that becomes much more difficult when you can't rebound the ball. Nash was our leading rebounder tonight. Those 15 offensive rebounds we gave up were very costly. If you are going to play without Shaq, prepare your team to make the necessary adjustments on the defensive end. It's not like OKC had a big size advantage in this game.

Suns dodge a bullet. Great game by Barnes.

The Suns need to start Barnes at SG and Hill at SF to be most effective. Hill does not play as well off the bench.

I've been watching the NBA for 25+ years and I've never seen a team NOT be able to foul in a 1 point game with ~ 10 seconds left. WOW, that was bad

Please Andrew, you have been given so many suggestions from so many people on this board how to listen/watch the games. IIRC, you were banned for this same crap once before.

If they can manage to play like they did in the second half, it wouldn't be bad. They weren't just lucky in the second half. They actually played with some energy because they were pissed. It felt like they had absolutely no energy in the first half and I can't blame anyone for tearing the team apart while they were watching it.

Lucky win for us!

Nash was a turnover machine and had no shooting touch, to start the game. We can't rely a run-n-gun games unless Nash feels comfortable shooting the running-stop jumpers. So, we are best served to use Nash more in a SG role to get his shooting touch secured first, doing the backdoor screens etc., while posting up our bigs. Later in games, Nash could handle the ball more with shooting touch secured like in the end of 4th qrt.

Honestly, I hope this is the spark this team needs to realize that they can lose to ANYONE if they commit an infinite amount of turnovers per game. Including the NBA's version of a CBA team.

The Suns will go back to feeding Shaq tomorrow which isn't bad, however, it's like the Suns have dual personalities. I wish the Suns could figure out a way to play the same style on offense on a regular basis. I think changing styles is a big part of the TO problems.

It never really worked for me when I had the free preview, just my luck right?

I had problems with the free preview too but they've been fixed. I haven't had any problems since. And I haven't heard of anyone else having problems since.

If you can't get it to work after you order, they'll certainly refund you your money.
