I noticed that Shawn really seemed to be the only guy that was pumped up--usually I expect Steph to get the crowd going. Maybe he did and TNT didn't shoot it, but I don't remember him getting excited.

Ill be interested to see if Shawn can keep producing the way he has in the past 4 games, once Amare and Zarko are back...

Shawn hates playing PF, but he is very effective offensively when he has big slow guys trying to guard him. Unfortunately, he gets pounded by big guys who can't stay with him.

One of the reasons he pumped up physically was in order to play inside, but then he was not used there much earlier. Part of it is that Amare is not really a very good center and playing Shawn at PF means no Amare.

I think Gugliotta should see more time. He is too good for the bench. I hope next year he finds a team thats willign to play him more. He looks like he's in really good shape from what I saw and he's a really good player. I wonder if the coaches are scared for his health. Maybe thats why they have decided not to play him much.

Tom Gugliotta is getting as much or more playing time here in Phoenix as he would anywhere. I like Googs. He just isn't that good anymore. There are some games and situations where I thought he should play more, especially given the current injury problems at his position. However, overall this season he has seen the floor more than I had hoped he would and definitely more than he would with any other team in the NBA.

Unfortunately Tom Gugliotta has been making Joe Johnson look like a marksman. He is shooting just 35% from the field this season.
