Wow. 22 first half point for Amare.

 

[lauraw]

Suns back in it at the half!! 66-64 Thunder..

 

[Ronin]

Give us the basket!

 

[lauraw]

Nash has 14 pts and 9 assists...Amare with 23 pts..

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 64-66 after the 2nd quarter. The Suns were down by as many as 15 points in the 2nd quarter. Suns shooting 54% with 3/8 3 pointers, Thunder 52% with 2/7 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 8 turnovers (Amare with 2, JRich with 2, and Dragic with 2), Thunder 7.

Suns have 3 offensive rebounds, Thunder 8.

Suns have hit 15/18 free throws, Thunder have hit 14/17 free throws.

Amare is having a great game with 23 points on 8/10 shooting with 6/7 free throws and 7 rebounds.

Suns with 7 bench points, Thunder 23.

Suns with 4 2nd chance points, Thunder 10.

2nd chance points are the difference in the game so far so we need to improve our rebounding quite a bit. We also need to cut down on turnovers and improve our defense as the Thunder normally shoot 45.

 

[Proteus]

Give us the basket!

It looked like Dragic didn't get the shot off in time on the replay.

 

[lauraw]

Great info, Proteus!!

 

[Nasser22]

I know I've been hard on him, but I'm going to miss Amare. Huge game so far tonight and he's done a great job rebounding lately.



Damn it, Durant..

 

[lauraw]

STEVIE NASH!!

 

[Proteus]

Stop turning the ball over Nash.

 

[Proteus]

JRich is useless.

 

[Proteus]

Nice steal by Dragic.

 

[Proteus]

We just can't get ahead in this quarter.

 

[Proteus]

Suns burned in transition again.

 

[Ronin]

Well, at least the score is tied.
It could be a lot worse.

 

[Proteus]

Suns tied at 89 after the 3rd quarter. Suns shooting 51% with 5/17 3 pointers, Thunder 48% with 4/12 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 12 turnovers (Amare with 4, Nash with 3), Thunder 10.

Suns have 5 offensive rebounds, Thunder 10.

Suns have hit 18/22 free throws, Thunder have hit 17/22 free throws.

 

[Proteus]

Only 1 assist for Nash in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Nasser22]

I'm rooting for Harden too, but it's really hard to watch with how much he is struggling. I hope he can figure it out soon. He's a better shooter than he's shown this year.

 

[Proteus]

Crappy play to start off the 4th quarter.

 

[krazyasiankid]

Arrrgh. This is so frustrating. Cmon Suns!

 

[krazyasiankid]

All we need is a couple of 3's from Frye and Nash.

 

[Nasser22]

Alright, let's go. We need to improve in these fourth quarters. Put them away!

 

[Proteus]

Argh...Lou misses both free throws.

 

[krazyasiankid]

YTou kidding me. Get Lou out of the game if he cant hit his fking free throws.
