Of course I turned it off when the Suns were blowing it in the 4th. Decided to go do something else.

It was awesome that the Suns let JRich create and take the last shot. I knew he would at least be able to get a shot at the basket. Too often the Suns do not get off a good shot in this situation because opposing teams smother Nash.

"we demonstrated if someone's missing, its not a big deal"
good win without nash. nice games by jrich and dragic.
this shows that without nash dominating the ball, amare is our #1 guy and our #2 guy is now jrich.

Great win and a great late game come back. JRich, Stat, Hill and Dragic all played well in the absence of Nash. Yet we still turned the ball over quite a lot with Dragic totaling 6. We blew another double-digit lead but so did the Thunder.

"THAT" team. I like his emphasis on "that" team, as if Phoenix is junk. Last time I checked, were #5 seed. Not "THAT" bad.

Good win for the Suns!
Nice defense by Grant Hill all game.
Thanks for stepping up Jason Richardson.
The NBA likes close games. In fact they PREFER it, if you know what I mean. Just look at that bizarre officiating at certain points of the second half.
Losing double digit leads happen a lot. To many teams. I illustrated this some weeks ago. Stop freaking out about it.

Awesome!
I picked a great game to actually watch.....it was purely coincidental that i chose the game where Nash sat it out.
Defense>>>offense
Always.
Whether at home,away or on Mars.
It would be a shame to have Dragic play the backup role for the next 2-3 years IMO.
Richardson with the monster ALL-AROUND game minus Nashy.

You have to understand, the state only has one professional team. 1 thats it! It is nice to see they get to be in the play not just in the audience. Give em a break as they are just happy to be in the NBA and are passionate about their one and only major pro team...
We gave up 100+ without Nash?How is that Possible?

If the refs don't make so many ridiculous calls we win this one by more, WOW what a bunch of terrible calls! Nice win without Nash though.

Maybe the coach can at least try to give Nash rest and not have him play so many minutes, we will need him come post season.

Suns are my Kryptonite!
Man, what a win! With 90 seconds to go, it sure looked like the Suns were set! Great gut check win without Nash. They could have just folded their tents on this one. A win we should not have got! Nice!

Disagree the Suns should have won this one more easily if not for the refs helping the Cats with phantom blocking calls and giving them breaks all night long.

Nothing makes my day quite like hearing an opposing fan whine like an immature little baby!
I say you can't reward an owner like Clay Bennett after what he did to screw over those poor Seattle fans.

Better off silent
Come on. The officiating is never good in an NBA game, but it certainly wasn't a big problem in this game. Durant got his points, but it was a very quiet game for him. We scrapped in this game and deserved the win, however close it was.
The Thunder are a good team and they were at home on a 9-game winning streak. You have to expect them to get a few calls going their way. But make no mistake, the game would have been won more easily if the guys had made the free throws they DID end up taking. Amare's touch at the line has been pretty bad recently.
The closeness of the score had nothing to do with the officials. It was two good teams going at each other. I mean, there was like 17 ties in the game!
