Utah @ Phoenix

[Chaplin]

After some intense mathematical calculations, IF we win this evening and Houston gets beat by Portland, we will own sole possession of 8th place in the West, a game and a half behind Utah, who would be in 7th place. Houston would be a game behind us.

If that is wrong--well, I'm not a mathematician!

 

[SweetD]

I say the Suns and Portland win

 

[arthurracoon]

I second that

 

[JS22]

Suns will bring it tonight.

101-95

 

[Joe Mama]

Let's see if this works...

I think the Utah Jazz are going to kill the Suns tonight.

Utah 111
Phoenix 89

Games like this have a playoff atsmosphere and I believe the Suns will respond & get on a roll. Lets hope the officials don't make too many reasons for us to compailn.

 

[Joe Mama]

The Suns need to start pointing out defensive three second violations. I don't think Ostertag has come out of the paint the entire game. Of course Bo Outlaw is in the game so the Suns will be doing a lot of that themselves now.

just what didn't need - another deficit after the first. 28 - 21 utahs way .

 

[JS22]

Suns even looking in the direction of the Jazz = Foul.

Jazz beating the living **** out of the suns = swallow the whistle.

 

[JS22]

Jesus. Jackson takes 15 steps and NOTHING.

MAKE THE ****ING CALLS!

 

[green machine]

[JS22]

haha, me thinks the Jazz have pissed off the officials...

 

[Joe Mama]

Overall Utah has definitely gotten better of the referees, but over the last few minutes the Suns have gotten some very favorable calls. That last blocking call against Karl Malone was total BS. Amare Stoudemire fell down because he was out of control.

Well I can't listen to the game anymore because of the Iraq stuff. But the play by play at NBA.com says Marbury just got a flagrant. What's up with that?

 

[green machine]

Go

These refs really ****ing blow. How was that a flagrant foul? You know something I noticed about Ostertag? He jumps forward, and that timed with a late jump makes it look like he got pushed. How does Utah, who has a reputation of acting, get away with it every time?

Marbury hacked down hard on Stockton's arms on a Utah Jazz fast break. It was probably not a good call, but one that we might have expected if it had been the other way around.

Thanks Joe.

 

[Joe Mama]

Now the Jazz are shutting them down with a zone defense.

[JS22]

These officials = ****.

I hate the NBA.

 

[JJ Slim]

Come on guys, 12 minutes left for you to pull it out. Don't let it slip away now!

You can go to www.kiov.com to listen to a streaming broadcast from the utah side. It's not al and eddie but at least you can still hear the game

 

[Wally]

Ostertag should have brought a tent with him. He's camped out in the lane all night.

It's time for us to wake up & make a move.

 

[hcsilla]

Jazz scored at EVERY possesion in the 4th quarter.

 

[hcsilla]

The formula is very simple.

If Marbury plays bad we lose.
If Marbury plays well then .....who knows?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Suns got frustrated

Marbury went way out of his game after that B.S. flagrant call. He started just jacking up the ball and going one on one.

The Suns still have no idea what to do with the zone defense. You would think that Frank Johnson could call a play or something, but they just pass the ball around and do nothing.

Tonight showed that the Suns really have no business being in the playoffs. They are still one person away and that person is a big man or a shooter...we have a huge gaping hole at each one.

I wanted to barf when we put in Bo Outlaw while they had Osterfag out there. When will the Suns learn that small ball doesn't work. It just doesn't.
