Suns @ Clippers

[slinslin]

Clippers choked tonight and Houston got the game into OT.

We play them early tomorrow.

Should be a fun game to watch/listen to.

 

[JS22]

Suns will take this one.

Suns: 105
Clippers: 94

I hope Q will rediscover his shooting touch being back to L.A.

 

[Michael]

I hope the Suns will put a show on again.

I don't get to see them that often on german tv but my NBA game dealer gives 10% off when buying 4 game dvds at once.

What would you guys say were the best Suns games this season besides the Mavs and Lakers games?

 

[Michael]

Oh...

Suns will win by 105-98. Clippers should come out flat after last nights ot game and we are just on a roll.

Nevertheless I'm a bit worried about LAs power combo of Brand and Wilcox.
On the other hand if I was a Clippers fan thinking of Amare and Shawn....


GO SUNS!!!

Good point. With our small ball lineup, Matrix will be overpowered by this Clipper combo. He already had a hard time guarding a weaker Odom the other night.
The key would be good help defense and rebounding. Hopefully, small ball will be to our advantage.

good point, although Odom is talented and alot faster than Wilcox.

Chris Wilcox has turned out to be a nice power forward, but he isn't anywhere near as talented as Lamar Odom. He doesn't have the low post game, the passing, or the outside shooting that Odom does. Lamar Odom is also at least 2 inches taller than Wilcox.

Still, I anticipate the Suns to get beaten on the offensive glass again.

Don't forget the game is at 1:30PM today (AZ time).

I also think Marion will have a hard time boxing out Wilcox or Brand. I think they might put Amare on Wilcox to try to keep his fouls down. If Marion has to guard Brand then we could be in big trouble.

As big of trouble as we had when he guarded Nowitzki and Odom?

 

[carey]

Hehe. 30 to 4 run by the Suns in the second quarter.

Nice.

 

[King A]

at least we're using our bench tonight, he

 

[sly fly]

Hilarious. Amare having his way again. Just now starting to heat up. Elton Brand has no idea what to do with him.

How's this for an idea...

Don't trade anybody.

This team is a title contender.

 

[King A]

nash already has 12 dimes, maybe he can crack skiles' record of 30 this season

96 points through 3 quarters.

I was thinking the same thing. What is the Suns record for assists in a game?
20 by KJ?

This is going to be a season for stats lovers. Amare leading the league in scoring, Steve in assists. Shawn in the top 10 in steals and rebounds.

Moreover Marion will be or already is in the ALL TIME top 5 in steals and rebounds for the Suns franchise.

The Suns will likely be the highest scoring team all year.

And most important they have the best shot of winning a division title (or even more, dont dare dreaming YET) for more than a decade.

 

[King A]

but what is happening in the 4th???
clippers rally

Most Assists
Game 25 Kevin Johnson vs. San Antonio 4/6/94
Half 14 Kevin Johnson vs. Boston (1st) 2/12/97
Kevin Johnson vs. L.A. Clippers (1st) 2/9/89
Quarter 10 Jason Kidd vs. Charlotte (1st) 2/20/98
Jeff Hornacek vs. Golden State (4th) 1/28/87

 

[cepstrum]

You know what's crazy?

Amare is kind of having a sub-par game and he still has 26/6 with a couple of mins left.

 

[arthurracoon]

Suns win 122-111.

Amare with his 4th straight 30 pt game.

Nash with a bunch more assists.

JJ with lights out 3pt shooting

MARION doing it all (pts, reb, ast, blk, stl)

 

[slinslin]

Amare should pull closer within Haslem for the lead in FG% after tonight.

Anyone got a clip of that windmill dunk? Please? Hopefully I'll get this game.

 

[George O'Brien]

You almost have to feel for Clipper's coach Dunleavey. The Clippers scored 111 points, shot 52.3% from the field and had an eight rebound advantage, yet still lost by 11 points.

I'm not sure the Suns can afford to let opponents shoot that well and hope to win against good teams. About all it proved is that when the Suns are hitting from the outside, they are impossible to stop (11 of 19 for three).

Amare only played 12 minutes in the first half and they still led by 13 at half time. It is encouraging to know they can play well without him, although I'd hate to have to try.

 

[slinslin]

Amare is averaging 28.7ppg 58.0%FG
Nash is averaging 12.2apg 16.3ppg 56.8%FG

Nash is pulling a John Stockton.

Marion had a crazy stat line with 24 points 14 rebounds 4 assists 3 steals 4 blocks.

We might have 3 allstars this year especially if they take Amare as backup center instead of forward.

Can you imagine if the US Olympic team had a guy like Amare? Wait, they did and Brown didn't use him.
