I don't have the stats to back it up, but I bet our turnovers are a better predictor of wins/losses than points scored.

Grant Hill is the player of the game. He's taking on the roll of the defensive stopper. I wil admit that he's not Marion but Hill is not to far behind. What's up with Amare and not rebounding?? geeezz


Barbosa was the differance offensively, this was jason richardson first off night in a Suns uniform.

Amare not rebounding is an uncommon thing?

Amare was rebounding very well a couple of weeks ago and now he has gone back to non rebounding self. Shaq playing 40 minutes and Nash with 36 is not making me very happy.

Just came back from the game. JJ was more cheered then booed. Joey Crawford was HORRIBLE in the 3rd quarter :oops:

Shaq is an all star.

Decent win against a hot team.

Amare needs to rebound the friggen ball. But that's old news I guess, Suns fan have to live with this frustrating fact.

Great to see Nash scoring for us but Shaq and his minutes are ridiculous. We're playing them into the ground already and we're only on the verge of playoffs. Shaq has been playing well as off late and tonight was no exception, too bad his FT streak has gone, it was good while it lasted.

Barbosa's been streaking lately, he doing exactly what we need him to do and that is scoring off the bench. He's definitely making up for Barnes shooting slump the last 10 or so games.

Nice win, but seriously, 18 O boards is unacceptable. 7 to ZAZA should not happen. BOX THE **** OUT! Yeah I'm talking to you Amare.

Next game should be a good one against the Nuggets. Lucky for us Melo is out for a while, but wouldn't be surprised to see Billups abuse Nash and JR going off again.

We are 8-3 in the past 11 games. We might not be blowing teams out as we used to be but a win is a win, am I right?

Shaqovic played great again, he is our most consistent player this year, hard to believe, huh? Nash had a great game too and made some big 3's tonight, Amare will be Amare will get his points but needs to start stepping up more and grabbing rebounds. You may think Hill had a bad game but thats far from it, aside from his 6 points he took on the job of guarding a great shooter Joe Johson and limited him to 4-21 shooting I believe. I also love Richardsons hustle and you can expect 16-20 points from him on any given night. Then there is Barbs, lately he been playing great basketball, we all know his mother passed away recently, so you cant even blame the dude if he was struggling because of that but he isnt and is a great 6th man off the bench. At last, we all know Barnes been struggling the last 5-6 games ever since Richardsons arrival here but he is still a great shooter and I know he will find his stroke back.


Anywayz thats my summary of the game tonight, goodnight all see you all tomorrow.

The Diesel keeps us in the game yet again (with help from LB, Nash...). Amare once again in foul trouble heads to the bench with half the 3rd quarter left, and watches his team claw back into it - adding some help himself, but not to a standard Amare degree.

Now if only we can grab a win against Denver tomorrow night, the win streak will continue and the Suns will get a bit more of the spotlight, not that they need or probably want it.

Return to Phoenix Suns
