Suns couldn't play any better and the blazers couldn't play any worse. Great game by the suns players and props to the coach for having hill on miller and picking up the pace. I think it's really important they keep Richardson off of miller.

This is. Game where they missed Roy, they need Fernandez or Webster to step it up and they need to slow the game down.

Really boring game to watch, suns announcers continue to prove they are the worst in the NBA.

Thank God. I'd be ready to concede the series to you guys if we lose Batum.

I think that the suns could actually play a lot better. Amare wasn't even at his best tonight.

They definitely can. You have to admit that Jason Richardson and Grant Hill played well above their normal capacity, though.

As hard as it may be to believe for some, the Suns are more than capable of playing even better than this.

Some people don't realize how amazing our offense really is. This isn't a fluke. We've done this MANY times this season.

^Not trying to sound arrogant. Being serious here.

Good game Suns. You came out early very determined and ready to make quick work of the Blazers. Props for a solid win.

I hope for the Blazers sake this was the only 'every thing is going' type of game.

Personally I see that, but this IS about the best you can expect to play. Do you expect to score 130 points or something? Not every Suns or Blazers player will be playing perfect at the same time, that is to be expected.

Just percentage wise (upper 50's before starters leave). I could definitely see us scoring 120 again, though.

season FG%: 49.2
tonight:51.2

season 3P%:41.2
tonight:42.1

this isnt far off our averages

only concern for the blazers now is Batum

without him, this series is over.

The Shiv · Post #1074 » by **The Shiv** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 4:28 am

we dropped 150 on the Twolves, so I think it's possible to do that to portland also.

Post #1075 » by **Moonbeam** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 4:28 am

Portland's fate in this series lies clearly in controlling the tempo. But if we are without Batum, it won't matter.

I personally hope Martell gets the start next game over Rudy. Perimeter defense was atrocious this game.

I'm sure they are capable of more, but a lot of teams are capable of a lot of things. They are dominating on both sides of the court. I expect to see good games out of them in the future but not this good. this only happens two or three times a year for a team.
