Oh and TASTIC, poor excuse for not creating a game thread. Liquor run, liquor run...don't we all. You owe me a get out of ban free card :lol:

I can't believe there is no thread or responses 1.5 hours before the game - its either Nash being out or else its probably already New Year's Eve for you crazy Aussies...

As I sip ever so slowly on this Corona, I'll make a mental note I owe you a brew when we meet up next year - deal?

I'm trying to watch cricket on TV, stay active on here, and juggle the odd beer with selling my unwanted gears online...

I'll be watching later if I find a decent stream

PHX 109
MEM 105

Shaq needs to get the job done early so we can rest him...he's been piss weak when playing the day before

Mayo for 40 tonight?

maybe not with nash not gaurding him.

I am excited to see Mayo play though.

Im feeling a big game from amare since he had a dissapointing one yesterday.

Go Suns

amare gets his 3rd foul and then gets ejected!

It's the officials who are the bloody idiots.

the refs are never good, they should be used to crap calls

he has to shut up.

Im sick of Porter not speaking up when the officials do this.

How many technicals has he received this year? One at the begining of the season?

If he doesn't speak up for Amare when this kind of crap is occurring then he is leaving it squarely on Amare to speak...

Two of Amare's three finals fouls last night were utterly horrible calls. Foul two and three tonight were of the same caliber and Amare had every right to make sure the officials knew that. Obviously he couldn't rely on Porter to say it.

We don't get calls at home. We definitely don't get them on the road. These are first team All NBA players and they are getting crapped on for the likes of Mayo, Gay, and Durant?

Wow, nice no call there Kennedy. Warrick was out of bounds when J-Rich threw it off him..

JRich's shot just isn't falling. If it does this would be a blow out before the end of the fourth.

Lopez is horrible at boxing out.

Post #18 » by **TASTIC** » Wed Dec 31, 2008 3:00 am

Seems like we're in the 4th of a blowout already...poor Hill having to play with these schmucks

I'd like to see Suns go after Ross or Buckner for the playoffs, someone who can guard a premier 1 or 2

Whos ya Haddadi

Shaq passes Oscar Robertson for 8th all time scoring.

It would be nice to celebrate with a win.

Next stop. The Dream!
