MP's jumper is a joke. He throws it up so high there is no telling where it will land.

I love that Gortat is going to eat five chickens before his next game against Shaq. Not 4 chickens or 6 chickens, but five.

On a completely unrelated note, does anybody know of video of Courtney Lee's block on Barbosa around the 3:00 min mark of the 4th quarter?

what an impressive win. Dwight proved to be maturing for us right before our own eyes. He was tremendous in the 2nd half which is extremely hard to do with all the fouls and obvious jitters. I just could have had an easy heart attack on Rashards 6tos. It just killed me. He is so god damn careless with the ball, Hedo's tos were more justifiable. MP has driven me crazy with his jumpers I dont know how many points he had I dont think he had one jumper go in. Overall I am thrilled to beat Shaq I bet Rupaul is sitting there smiling.

I can't wait for the future Gortat/Howard front court. I really think it will happen eventually.

I really don't know why, but a smile appeared on my face when Grant Hill missed that layup...it was the beginning of the end...

We taught a great lesson to Shaq, Suns and NBA. We are a serious contender. Who's next?


go magic!



thanks a lot for the pics guys!

POSTGAME QUOTES:
http://www.nba.com/suns/news/quotes_090 ... l?rss=true
Stan calling out Shaq is missing, as well as a massive chunk for Marcin's interviews but these are official quotes. Rafer's is missing as well. :(

Shaq on trash talking:
(On trash talking) “It was probably fun, I don’t talk trash, I don’t need to talk trash. It was probably fun like I said; I don’t need to talk trash.”



Stan on what he thought of the Dwight Howard vs. Shaquille O’Neal matchup:
“I think he got a call on the first play of the game, Steve Nash got shot out of a cannon on that cross screen and flew back about 40 feet. Which I thought was a funny way to start the game after Shaq did so much talking about if they don’t let people flop and everything then the game starts with a flop by one of his teammates. I thought that made Dwight a little bit tentative to begin with. He was just in foul trouble the whole time. He only got 10 minutes, they were broken up. He got six and a half minutes to start the game, three and a half minutes in the second quarter, just tough to get going. I thought once he got in in the second half and got a chance to play a little bit, he got some rhythm and played very, very well. Again, just the turnovers on him need to cut down. He shot free throws poorly the entire game until we needed him at the end and then he knocked them down. I thought he did a good job of getting himself back into the game.”


Rashard on his 12 rebounds:
“I knew that Dwight and Shaq were wrestling each other all night so somebody had to go grab them. They couldn’t get them… so I saw those two tangled up so I wanted to crash the boards a little bit more and take the load off of Dwight.”



Marcin on Shaq:
“I got to be honest with you, when he stepped onto the court, this dude is huge. I just realized that I’ve got to go home and eat like five chickens and put a lot of weight on. It’s going to take a couple months, but seriously. There was the first contact and I’ve got to say, I’ve got a lot of respect for him, but he’s getting old. I can’t compare him to Dwight because Dwight is No. 1 right now.”

“I knew that I was going to have help from the small guys. So I just tried to stay between the basket and Shaq. Basically, I’m capable of taking charges so I knew if he was going to try and beat me down, I was just going to flop. And I’ve got five fouls to spend so I was pretty confident the next couple of possessions he really wasn’t going to be scoring.”

:D

Especially once the Hammer eats five chickens per day.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability
