What happened to this team in the 2nd and 3rd quarters - they looked content to just sit outside and birck threes and 20 footers - then too little too late - compounded by an absolutely ******** foul by Amare outside - you could see it coming.

That feeling in the pit of my stomach that was feeling title is now feeling nauseous - back to back losses - not taking advantage of SA and Miami losses and now just a game up on both - weak - weak.

Amare and Shawn played very hard - Amare's last foul was dumb, but he had a few questionable calls made on him earlier. Basically, the Suns were god awful in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, and still have a chance to win the game. Sura missed both free throws, leaving the door open for any score to win with 7 seconds left. Hunter gets the put-back jam opportunity and somehow, as only Hunter can, he misses it even after its halfway through the rim and going down. You just HAVE to make that play.

That might be the closest thing to a great comeback that I've ever seen.

Didn't help that the bench shot 3-16 and Q shot 0-7 and failed to score.
Suns just didn't have it tonight - but it makes me worry if they can handle
teams like Houston or SA in the playoffs. Scrappy, hustling teams that play good team defense seem to get us out of our rhythm.

i'm pissed because we blew REALLY sewing up homecourt advantage the last two nights, but like Amare after the game - I ain't afraid of playing the Rockets in the playoffs... Denver on the other hand...(gotta get that 1st seed - but that means likely running the table or only ONE more loss all season).

this damn Clipper Spurs game is killing me! Seriously - I have plans tonight and I'm just sitting here praying and watching, hoping the Clippers can eek this one out in double OT - 1:30 left - Massenberg at the line for one to tie it - ugh!

AHHH!!! Livingston for the bucket with 30 seconds left for the lead - COME ON CLIPS - hand SA a big loss! Come on!

Robert Horry, LOL. It's like his whole last ten years can be distilled into about 40 seconds of highlights at the ends of important games.
