Nice play.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

A great effort at the end comes up just short.

Heartbreaker.

Damn. :( Great D by Phoenix right there no one was open and Rashard had to put up a tough one. :(

Huge moral victory though as we know Gortat is ready to start if need be tomorrow.

This better be the first highlight on SportsCenter.

We obviously need to worry about Dwight, if he's anywhere close to right and playing...it's an easy win. Hopefully he'll be okay.

Oh...so close to win without Dwight for almost the entire 2nd half (hopefully he's ok).

Gortat and Lee really impressed tonight. Turk also came up big as usual at the end. Maybe SVG should have drawn up a better player closer to the basket.

Ah well...onto the next one.

Another reason to dislike Grant Hill.

Van Gundy called for every pick to be switched....Nelson lost Hill, not Turk's fault.

If anything.....you let Rashard inbound the ball (still at 6-10) and get it to the guy who's made shot after shot in the clutch. As Matty said, and I told Adam right before the play started, no way to get it back to the guy who throws it in with that little time left. Gutty effort, still feels terrible to lose though.

Porter drew up a great last second play for Hill. We chucked a desperation jumper. SVG's best late game play seems to be letting Hedo chuck and pray.

tough way to lose.. suns knock it out then get the ball back.. invisible foul on gortat when nash puts his arm into him.

We needed this one, because we'll lose tomorrow in Utah. Another place we never win.

Just unbelievable. Giving up a layup to Grant Hill. Unbelievable. I hope they're proud of themselves for letting that guy beat them like that.

Hedo's fault defensively.... but cant be too upset for this one... It hurts, but we played half the game w/o our best player and w/ Hedo shooting horribly, and w/o Pietrus. I was really happy to see our bench come out and play as good as they did... this says a lot for our supposedly lackluster bench.

he wasn't in foul trouble so did he get injured again?
