Suns vs. Mavs game thread...

[arwillan]

dallas is getting a ton of their points on jump shots, so i think they'll slow down in the 2nd half. They also tend to lose some energy in the 4th, which should be especially true with dirk and his ankle. Keep feeding amare and we clinch a playoff spot.

Shaq just keeps sagging off of his man and letting him take open jumpers without even putting a hand up. Brandon Bass tore him up with open jumpers. I didn't know Bass could shoot a 15-18ft jumper so well......then again Diaw is 5-6 on mostly 18ft jumpers so I guess anyone can get hot.

Yea if Diaw can do it anyone can! I wonder where the FG percentage people on the board went.

What's the points in the paint stats at the half?

The Suns gotta tighten the defense in the second half. The Mavs shooting 55% is not ok. Also, Nash needs to stop turning the ball over. He has 4 turnovers at the half.

 

[jagu]

I love how Grant Hill flows down the lane, its poetry in motion with him and Barbosa.

Great signing!

What irritates me is when we dont contest these jumpers. There is no way DAL should be shooting more than 50% against us right now

Yeah Shaq has been annoying me with this the last few games because he does seem to slack off on defense and take some plays off. Most PF's should be able to hit a wide open shot like that 50% of the time.

It's amazing that these commentators are complaining about Amare only getting 2 rebs in 13 minutes when we outrebounded Dallas 23-17. Amare should've played more than 13 minutes.....

Finally a whistle on Dampier

 

[TJ]

See? Thats what happens when you contest a shot...great job

 

[az1965]

solid start in 3rd

 

[TJ]

I dont think the officials are ever gona call a charge for Nash ever again

 

[PHX 32]

Hell yes what a run

 

[TJ]

Bell ringer for Raja....up by 12

 

[btimsah]

The Mavs are worse because their smaller and not as physical. They don't rebound or get the free throw line like they used too.

 

[TJ]

Attack Nowitzki hes limping

 

[btimsah]

NoVITSKI is officially yelling at his teamates. And BS call on Hill. Grant is awesome.

 

[LV-Suns]

woot woot

 

[btimsah]

Shaq got body contact.. but nothing up top... dunno, makeup call for the Hill call?

 

[LV-Suns]

double double for Shaq

 

[PHX 32]

We have actually had pretty fair officiating in this game (aside from that call on Shaq).

 

[TJ]

One of the officials looks like hes 12 years old

 

[TJ]

Suns are getting sloppy

 

[btimsah]

Does Amare know that fish guy, Bass? Watch Amare posterize him.

 

[PHX 32]

Come on guys drive to the basket

 

[PHX 32]

Howard got PWNED.

 

[Proteus]

Argh...Mavs with 8 second chance pts in the 3rd already.
