I listened to some on the radio in Dallas while taping it…It was really cool listening to the Mav’s radio announcers….I’ve always liked them…

They were talking up the Suns left and right….the biggest thing I heard him say he liked about this suns team is that it was 9 players deep instead of 6 or 7 like the suns of d’antoni days. D’antoni would never! never! play his bench like this…for all his offensive genius…he misses some key things…a little thing called defense…and of course that he has more than 6-7 players on his team.

Wow, Amundson has emerged over the last few games…and between Hill on defense and JRich on offense…and Shaq simply playing the best he’s played in 4-5 years easily….this was a beautiful game….I think those 2 1-point losses helped us.

Also…the best thing I heard on the tv broadcast….that this suns team was talking on defense…they weren’t used to hearing/seeing that!! I’ll say it again…those 2 close losses helped us…

On Amare, he made a great pass to amundson under the basket past 2 defenders…he did some other good things….I just get the feeling his time in Az is limited. He’s getting torn up by more and more people…(I know…I was one of them…I was doing it last yr)…not that I wanted him to play badly…

I think Porter deserves a lot of credit….also Kerr, this team has quickly become his with only 5 players from last yr on it…

On Lopez, on Dragic, they need a yr or 2 of playing in the nba, they’ll get there, as to how good they’ll be….who knows….

great stuff!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know about Kerr really getting a point for that, but I definately agree that if I was GM I would’ve traded LB as well. But it would have to be for somebody super specialcause LB would be a tough loss. Especially so when you consider that, along with Nash and Amare, has been with the team the longest (damn I miss Marion).

Amare: suffering from the “Wild Thing” disorder (Major League II). The stardom got to his game. He needs some kind of wake-up call. How about benching him a night or two and start Amundson in his place.

Amundson: Plays with more hustle than anybody else on that court. I man that truely loves the game and gives it everything he has. Once he developes a solid jumper, he’ll be a true baller. But the hustle has to be used to set an example to the rest of the team. Its not always about gettng a double-double, its about playing your ass off and giving it 110%.

Shaq: Keep up the good work

Tonight’s game was fantastic and demonstrated just how good these guys really are. And more so when you see that Amare still hasnt been playing like the Amare of old (which isnt old at all). If the bench keeps up the hustle an good play, Porter could really go way deep in there. Thats the biggest problem I had with D’antoni, he only went as deep as 8. Beating the Mavs tonight was the karma we need to get our heads in the right spot. I’m expecting this to carry over into the next game. Good call on Shaq for suggesting a no-practice. We know they can, but the problem is mental.

LB is the deal I would not trade him unless a No. 1 pick is in the deal.
Great hustle, ball movement, and energy.
Keep it up guys, you could surprise in the West.

Thats what i’ve said last time for Nash games. If he can manage to adjust right to Shaq brand of play, they there will be a good results. Now Defense is paying off. Hope you guys win more and BEAT FAKERS :P

My Celtics is in losing streak though :(
Good win for all you Suns Fans!!

I’ve been really tough on Porter about his erratic rotations but he really did a good job in this game. He seemed to have an offensive plan since the tip off. Plan A was to go with Amar’e early (Like Stan said), that didn’t work out and he went to Shaq and he delivered. Great contributions from Lou (isn’t this guy great?) Barnes and the rest of the crew.
Memorable moment? Barbosa’s block! Did you see that guy flying?!! very similar to what Lebron did to the Celtics on the previous game.

How about “sober” J-Rich? and “old man” Grant?!

Nash played great, everyone seemed to be having so much fun. This is the type of basketball we expect from you guys every night. Every. Night.

One thing I forgot to mention was Jason’s play in the 3rd and specifically his ability to take advantage of Terry in the post.

Against certain teams that’s going to be a very important weapon. Imagine for example the Bobcats w/ Felton and DJA in the backcourt? Or Ben Gordon. Or…well I can’t actually think of a lot of undersize scoring two guards like Terry anymore. There used to be more of those guys.

Anyway – he’s certainly another powerful weapon to have if teams are going to try and load up on our bigs.

BUT – as cool as that windmill breakaway dunk was (or the 360 dunk the other day) at some point he’s going to blow one of those and look foolish. I would rather he not do that. Just slam the ball home Jason and take your two points.

We got off to a slow start, but then Shaq took over. We did a terrible job gaurding the three point line, but luckily for us the Mavs cooled in the second half. Besides that it was a clinic. Get together this game’s highlights and fundamental plays and send it to Stat so he can produce it.

I was dissapointed JRich only made number 5 on the top dunks on ESPN. Number six from the rookie was better than 2, 3, and 4. Number 1 though was just ridiculous. Way to go for the college player. I guess you’ve really got to do something no one has seen before, otherwise it’s a list of “name” starting at the top. Was Barnes a quarterback in his high school days?

if the suns didnt take care of business last night, then you guys would have major probs… like i said… we didnt expect to be in this one…

yall have a great day!

Sweet Lou shot 40% from the line. With stats like that, the Suns are unstoppable

That was good to watch.

Especially against the Mavericks.

J-Rich looked very comfortable in the offense last night, and what a sick windmill dunk!!!!
