Hell of a game by Amare and LB.

 

[Proteus]

Whew. Suns win 106-104. Good job.

 

[Sovereignz]

Good to see Bell's minutes go down finally. I know it mostly had to do with LB playing well, but I'd really like to see Bell be at 15-20 minutes a night regardless of what other people are doing.

 

[Andrew]

Is this what it feels like to win? BECAUSE I HAVE MISSED IT.

Awesome basketball tonight, they came out blazing....Shaq and Amare looked REALLY good tonight, they all did (minus Dragic)

Aww.......a win....finally

 

[mjb21aztd]

good game by the suns, good to see Amare finally have a good rebounding game . gj suns

 

[Hat]

Good game. Finally won one!

 

[SirStefan32]

Nice game. That's how Amare needs to play. Great game by Shaq, Diaw, Barbosa, and Nash as well.

 

[Wonder]

4-5 times amare missed his shot and just grabbed his own miss instead, which doesn't happen all too often with him because he makes shots inside the key almost automatically. Guys like bynum/dwight live off these types of stats that Amare had tonight which is why the REB statistic is a tad overrated, I honestly did not see huge difference in the way Amare played from other games besides maybe the positioning he was in. Over the last 10 games or so Amare has been outside of the key a lot more so than tonight, shot less jumpers than over the past 10 games and so on. It's frustrating when Suns fans are just going to not think logically about it and pick on him, look at his REB in a game and just blame him for the majority of the loss. Guess what? He had 20 rebounds tonight and yet they only won by 3 pts. It is not him or only him and hasn't been, ever.

We finally won a game against a good team. The most important insight is, we need to slow down more often than Nash wanted earlier, particularly when Shaq is in the game. And our offense needs to go through Amare and Shaq as much as possible.

Amare had 5 turnovers, either traveling or stolen on his drives. But they are worth it in that he has to go through this pains as the go-to scorer Al Jefferson, Boozer, West went through much earlier in their careers. At least they don't lead to as dangerous fastbreaks as our perimeter players turnovers.

LB finallly had a good game too where he gave up the ball much sooner than usual, upon coach's instruction I guess. We need more of those running off the screens kind of thing to create spaces for our hot shooters.

suns win!

Pacman wins!

what a day!

 

[az1965]

Amare 20 rebounds!!??

Dude...!

 

[dodie53]

Amare was 'the man'.

why don't he do or try to do that every game?

Sigh, a travel on Amare and Okur makes an even MORE obvious travel, but instead of calling it they give the Suns a foul and Okur gets an and 1. Awesome.

Suns 94-92 with 4:34 left in the 4th quarter as Amare picks up his 5th foul.

thats when things went sour, fans were booing the refs.
i was at the game tonight. amare, imo didnt travel. oh well.

but then okur gets the foul call, he leaned into his opponent. i thought it was pretty obvious, a non call as his defender was straight up.

Idiot Barnes couldn't wait 1 more second!

Suns 105-102 with 14.5 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Jazz ball.

it was pretty obvious the jazz were going for a foul, but yet the refs call a jump ball with less than 20secs to go??

Refs on the payroll, that was a foul

"I am gonna give the Jazz one more chance," said the Zebra

it was pretty upsetting to see the refs affect the last 5minutes of play. being there in person, some of those calls left me wondering wtf the refs were thinking/seeing.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

This was a very entertaining game. The suns were definitely enjoying the faster tempo. Amare put his efforts into the same category as his banter. Most the team played well and you could definitely tell the hustle was where it needed to be. I am praying nightly that the turnover rate goes down pronto. Im glad Hill is starting (as he should be!)

Diaw sucks.

 

[DeAnna]

Dragic is better than Singletary at directing the offense. Once he is confident nailing jumpers, he'll be at least serviceable backup material in the league

wow, for once we agree on something.

Singletary is more of a shoot-first mentality, Dragic looks to pass first.

 

[DeAnna]

Good to see Bell's minutes go down finally. I know it mostly had to do with LB playing well, but I'd really like to see Bell be at 15-20 minutes a night regardless of what other people are doing.

I guess it depends on the matchup. LB is a sieve defensively, but tonight they needed his offense more.

 

[DeAnna]

. Guess what? He had 20 rebounds tonight and yet they only won by 3 pts. It is not him or only him and hasn't been, ever.

No, but had Amare not had the great game he did have, they def would've lost this one. He was the difference-maker.

 

[mojorizen7]

I guess Amare got the 10-15 rebounds that Boozer would've gotten had he played.
j.k.
Missed this game. A road win in Utah is a good win regardless of who played & who didn't.

 

[mojorizen7]

You're right. Except this was a home game for us.

 

[mojorizen7]

Ooops. Like i said i missed it & assumed because it was on My45 per the thread title that it was a road game.

 

[FArting]

I was watching the ASU vs U of A game for most of the time. Once I knew ASU couldn't come back I switched over to the Suns game.
