I did see something amazing though tonight...
Nash hitting a running sideways one handed floater. I can't imagine being able to shoot like that. Incredible.

That was definitely a multiple rewind shot. Totally nuts.
One thing I have to say is, I'm tired of Barbosa shooting at the end of games. He made that one shot against Chicago last year, and it seems as if D'Antoni has fallen in love with him in late game situations. Sure he was wide open, but I feel more comfortable with Nash taking a contested shot. I'm at the point where I don't want to see Barbosa or Diaw touch the ball at the end of games.

Nash played his heart out, he is soooo clutch. Shaq hustled impressively, for a 325 lb guy, fantastic. Amares 20 footer was bad judgement at the end, but he's a young guy, and a stud, you take the good with the bad. Boris played well, some ill advised passes when he should have shot, but he hustled, grabbed some boards, played some D. Raja apparently smiled too much. Laughing is not acceptable when you look at a ref after being called for a tech .... very joey crawford. Close games suck in the NBA, a few calls being the difference in almost every close game, and the nugs shot a lot of FT's. I would have been a star if I could jump into my defender and get a call like that.

I caught that one too!!! Not just a sideways floater, but if you noticed he shot across his body while fading a little away to the right side.
What amazes me is that few see plays like that or just process them as common. Nothing common about it.
Good eye!

Barbs has taken a small step back this year it seems. I hope he doesn't disappear in the "full contact" playoffs again.
At least this year we don't have to worry about the ball swinging to Marion in a crucial situation only to have him take a wild shot because he can't get loose of his own shadow.

I agree. Even though Barbosa was hitting his shots tonight, he is definitely not clutch.

Raja did a terrific job on Carmelo. Maybe that would have contained Carmelo in the end. Damn refs.

The Refs took this game period, ridiculous T's getting called and throwing out one of our starters for a BS laugh. The Suns will be receiving and apology letter from the league sorry we screwed you again but nothing we can do about it now. Melo should have been tossed too if your gonna eject Bell he was out there throwing more elbows and talking trash than anyone.

Never?
What about Penny?
Luc Longley?
Jerrod Mustaf?
William Bedford?
Robert Horry?
Randy Livingston?
Come on.
Because the same standards don’t apply to both teams, apparently.
Nobody’s interested in your Bible thumping.
I hate to bring up this again. However, D'Antoni looked like a deer in headlights last night down the stretch. Did you notice that he went back to the double high post late in the game last night? It's basically where Shaq and Amare both go high and Nash chooses where he wants to go.
First that was highly effective the night before last. Denver could not figure it out. D'Antoni didn't use it all all until very late in the game. Second, Denver played it well when the Suns went to it late.
It was like D'Antoni was saving that for last. However, when Denver played it well, the Suns appeared to me to not have a plan B down the stretch. The guy drives me nuts sometimes because of his lack of in game adjustments.
My kudos to the team though for almost pulling it out without 2 of it's starters.

I'm not sure that you can put that all on D'Antoni. That's more of a Denver plus than a D'Antoni negative. As you said it worked great last night, Denver just figured out how to play at the very end of the game (well into the fourth quarter it was still killing them).
If anything D'Antoni can sometimes outthink himself, i.e. allowing Barbosa to take the last shot because everybody is expecting Nash to take it. Well there's a reason everybody is expecting Nash to take it.... it's because he should be.

Your grandma must be Steve Nash.
you have to give the suns/coaching A LOT of credit for last nights effort.
4th game in 5 nights.
back-to-back(high scoring afair)
missing two key players(Hill & Bell)
terrible T's by the terrible refs(officiating sucked, whats new)
played a full-ON denver team, they threw their best at us as barely squized out a win
let them rest, and get ready for the home stretch.

that wasnt our best...we made lots of mistakes and have played much better during many points this year.
Not putting it all on D'Antoni. However, IMO he has cost us several games because of his inability to make changes on the fly during a game. I think he is a thinker and needs an entire day of practice to figure something out. Usually that results in the players a la Steve Nash to come up with a miracle shot because of lack of direction.
Having said that, I agree that Nash should be your guy taking the last shot. Barbosa has missed more clutch shots then made them.
yes.
and figure in, like you said, our sloppy play(T/O's),
denver barely managed to sqeeze by.

Please!! The Refs decided this game period, with all the T's, ejection, fouls in general what did the shoot 50 ft's, the Suns once again gets hosed by the refs. That one ref in particular should be suspended as he made it personal with Bell.
any other spellings of squeeze?
no matter how you look at it, winning vs a top 5 team in the nba on the 2nd of a back to back is big. whether by 1 or 20. i dont see it as squeezing by.
the refs didnt give us the game, if thats what you are implying. the ft discrepncy was largely due to the # of jumpers taken by the suns vs how many times we attack (because we cant make jumpers...we have to drive to the basket). you cant get fts taking 3s (and since you made almsot all of them i cant blame you for taking them...glad you missed the last 2 big ones though)
