Game 58: Phoenix(34-23) @ Oklahoma City( 33-21)

[MrVince]

If we can bring the performance we played tonight along with us for the rest of the season we will for sure be locked in our current 5th spot possibly even 4th. Rest Nash till he is 100% healthy would be the best choice IMO.

Where's my boy Sunsman44??? LOL

Anyway, I think we should rest Nash, it gives our bench guys and our starters an opportunity to step up their game. With Nash they don't really get an opportunity to show what they can really do because of our system and Nash directing everything.

It's also good starting experience for Dragic. I wouldn't be unhappy if Nash is about 85%-90% and decides to play, but I'd like to see him get back to 100% before he comes back. With Sixers and Clips coming up this is as good a time as any to rest Nash, these opportunities don't come round often.

is this the longest game thread of the season?

Yes, it is.

[DaDragicShow]

I think it is. And imagine if I made it earlier we'd be on page 33 by now.

[Sun Scorched]

Lol. I cannot believe we just pulled this off. I said it would be a close game, but you cannot predict this type of outcome.

I haven
t beenthis jazzed since that last second three by Nash beat the mavs - remember, he missed the first and Shawn scooped the rebound straight backto him and he nailed teh second shot?

That good -

I was on a vacation in Scottsdale (I'm from Dallas) and I was huddled around this tiny 8 inch by 8 inch television screaming my head off. Honestly one of the best games I've ever seen.... ever.

In my book, that three is up there right behind that Rex Chapman three....

what a great freaking win! this type of game takes me back to the 04-05 & 05-06 seasons! when we use to win tight games. great effort by the guys.

[tsherkin]

Well that was a hell of a game. I saw only the last like 5 minutes. Beautiful play by Richardson to get that final shot to win the game, and EXCELLENT DEFENSE in order to deny Durant the ball! That shocked me, I was happily surprised.

Dragic apparently had a pretty good game. I didn't see much, of course, but he was looking into the post, not rushing things... the Suns closed that game well and really took advantage of the miscues that the Thunder committed. How they got to that point is another story, that's not great, but they won, so that's good.

Go Suns!

That suns-mavs game was one of my favorites ever in life. Instant classic. down by 20, up by 20, 4th quarter frenzy. Amazing

the whole game is on youtube in like 15 different parts, dont have time to search for it now.
