Suns @ Thunder, 12/19/2010

[Proteus]

Nash isn't good at end of the quarter offensive possessions.

 

[sunsfan88]

Our guys are actually competing and that's why we are winning despite the horrible officiating.

Gotta keep up the effort and make sure we don't allow Durant to get going.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 54-45 after the 2nd quarter. Suns shooting 55% with 2/5 3 pointers, Thunder 28% with 1/11 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 10 turnovers (Nash with 3), Thunder 4.

Suns have 4 offensive rebounds, Thunder 9.

Suns have hit 8/11 free throws, Thunder have hit 20/24 free throws.

Lopez has played fairly well so far.

Stop turning the ball over, stop putting the Thunder on the free throw line, and stop giving up offensive rebounds. Other than that it's been good from the Suns.

 

[sunsfan88]

Wow. Unbelieveable how many FTs the Thunder have attempted.

 

[AfroSuns]

OMG! BS call on Dudley

 

[sunsfan88]

AHHHHH Suns giving them the game right back!

 

[Griffin]

When the Suns have a bad stretch, they just go all out. Turnover after turnover on one end, no defense on the other. The collapse is so complete that it's like watching a completely different team.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 85-82 after the 3rd quarter. Suns shooting 57% with 4/11 3 pointers, Thunder 39% with 6/20 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 18 turnovers (Nash with 5), Thunder 6.

Suns have 5 offensive rebounds, Thunder 12.

Suns have hit 14/17 free throws, Thunder have hit 27/33 free throws.

Disgusting play by the Suns. Way too many turnovers in the 3rd quarter and poor defense including the parade to the free throw line by the Thunder.

 

[desertdawg]

Lol, same old Suns. Gortat needs to get here fast.

 

[dodie53]

i can feel that the suns can win this one

 

[desertdawg]

In the penalty the rest of the way.

 

[mojorizen7]

Gutsy performance thus far tonight.

 

[AfroSuns]

The Suns playing lock down defense

 

[AfroSuns]

The Suns have to find a way to win this one. Spurs on a back-2-back is a almost a certain loss.

 

[mojorizen7]

wheres the foul on childress' wrap around layup?

 

[mojorizen7]

Hill is possessed

 

[AfroSuns]

Childress has played extremely well

 

[cly2tw]

Childress is an excellent defender indeed!

 

[AfroSuns]

Man, i hope this dont go to OT

 

[AfroSuns]

Childress is an excellent defender indeed!

Mostly due to his intelligence, he is a pretty smart guy.

 

[desertdawg]

I can't take another over time game. Can we just play some defense for 9 more seconds?

 

[AfroSuns]

sweet sweet sweet win

 

[carey]

Whew, back to .500 and I was wrong saying we'd be 12-15 by the time the new guys started.

 

[AfroSuns]

imo, this is the best defensive effort by the Suns so far this season. Turnover is what killed us.

 

[sunsfan88]

Unbelievable win!
