Thanks Suns

[Mike Olbinski]

I just wanted to say what a great streak that was. 15 games...some of us had only been a part of a streak like that once before. I remember '93 and that December of 14 wins.

This was just as great, and tonight was an exciting game that had me shaking like it was a playoff battle.

They won some tough games and showed a lot of heart...and a lot of guts on this streak.

The streak is broken, but it took a blizzard and long travel day to get us back. We played pretty bad, missed shots, but still had the heart to fight back and almost win it.

I love this team and I'm proud of the guys. This is going to be a great season...one to remember always.

Mike

Well said sir, I agree completely. Thanks Suns.

Here, Here!

Just watched the highlights on nba.com and Stevey Nash looked really pumped there after hitting a 3 late in the game. It was nice to us fighting back in a game rather than giving up a lead like we have been rather prone to of late!

Fantastic run of wins and was certainly gettin used to it so a loss is a shame but like you say, had chances to win and after all that travelling we really took it to the wire so well done fellas!

Quick question, what are people's views on Gilbert's performance today? I like Arenas, he has some serious skills and 54 points is impressive and he seemed to make some big shots (tho that banked 3 pointer seemed a little lucky) but I can't help but feel a bit like he may be a bit of Iverson/Kobe ball hog and I much prefer to see 6 or 7 players in my team in double figures than just one player on like 50 or 60 points!

This is the kind of thing people say when their team just lost to a guy scoring 50 or 60 points.

It was fun but the ending was frustrating. We all know why the Suns were obviously flat at the beggining of the game and they had to dig themselves out of a whole all night.

I would have prefered that the streak end with the Suns playing at their best rather than because of circumstances beyond their control.

Oh well we're only 2 or 3 more 10 game streaks away from locking up the #1 seed.

Seems to me that it only proves that the Wizards can't beat us unless Arenas scores more than 50 points. He is a selfish player, no question about that, but his team won, and I'm sure they'll take that.

- All streaks end eventually... that was one heck of a streak and congratulation to the team for setting the franchise record.

- Out of 7 games, we lost 3 in OT. I don't remember any of the losses as blowouts. All this while the team has been working to fit Amare and other new pieces.

- How the heck Washington is 11-12 in a weak East???? This team has some unreal shooters! I don't follow the team so not sure why their record is what it is, but they have beaten some good Western teams on the road...

Well, it took that and the Suns playing badly for most of the game for them to barely beat us.

It's alright. We will start another streak to break the franchise record.

The horrendous travel played a huge part in our defeat against Washington. Make no mistake, that really hurt us.

We didn't wake up until the 4th qtr and by then it was always going to be a battle. If we'd been at home the previous night we would've taken care of business. Oh well. time to go on another win streak.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Indeed it was a fun thing to watch lets start a new one and take control of the divison
