Game 59: Suns vs. Lakers

[enigmatics]

Gotta love Shaq ...............

“It’s what I do,” O’Neal said. “I’ve been doing it since 1992. If you don’t believe it, Google me.”

alright come on Toronto hook us up with a win tonight. beat dallas!

sorry, you're asking the wrong team for a favor here

High chance Marion is out tonight so our entire bench is Ukic/Banks/O'Bryant/Voshkul

That's ugly

--- Big Jake! Basketbawful will be glued to the game.
What's wrong with Shawn?

That was a good game. I would love to see those two teams play in the first round. Although as a Laker hater, I might rather see another match-up that I believe the Lakers have a better chance of losing.

Shaq's shot looked good. His passing looked good. His court awareness was good. He can still cram it in people's face. But his agility is not close to what it once was. We have to be real about that.

:pray: maybe TOR can pull it off.

Under three minutes to go and we're down 10; no luck, friend.

For those who say we are better off/more passionate/better defensively without Amare, IMO your wrong. It was since we fired Terry Porter and Alvin Gentry stepped forward. The two games in which Amare and Gentry were active they dominated, granted against the clippers. Amare and the team were clearly more focused for those two games.

I'm with you man. Gentry has inspired or free'd these guys up to play and enjoy the game again. It's evident on both ends of the court. And notably, turnovers aren't really a problem anymore thus saving us a 10 point deficit before we even tee it up.

I wish Stat was playing, b/c in the two games under Gentry he averaged 32pts on 75% shooting. 32/8/2 isn't to bad is it?

Great win by the suns vs the lakers, I loved the way shaq,barbosa, and barnes played this run n gun avlin gentry system has really helped them the most along with Jason Richardson. I got a little worried in the end when the suns keep turning the ball over and gave the lakers a slim slim chance to get back in it... thank god kobe missed that 3 with like 40 sec to go lol. But great win and now lets go beat the magic in orlando would be two big big wins to make our push towards the playoffs.

great team effort. 3 guys scoring 20+. LB did a good job at the point, Barnes had his best game as a SUN, and Shaq put on an encore for the ages. Dudley also hit a very opportunistic 3pter to keep our lead when LA was making a run. Can't say enough about the team effort, it was superb.

I made an amateur video of all shaq's baskets, so if anyone's interested in seeing the big fella rolling you can check it out on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHX9WER_JGw
