we don't have to be just like the Bedgers...
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
ANNNNDDDD
Clark has almost as many minutes as Hill, and 6 more minutes than Frye. Get Frye back in and Hill, wow.
Fanaticism is not logical
Gotta run with the hot hand
or at least the hand that will rebound!!!

We're also not doing well on Points in the Paint...
yet we’ve still got 53 points on the board. Imagine how scary our offense will be once we’re firing on all cylinders.
hmm. seems hill should be like +25 right now.
he’s impacted this game more than anyone else I should think
that's why i don't live by the -/+
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
That can be deceptive because of starters sitting out, but I love it.
Hill’s -14 isn’t Hill’s fault. It would have been -32 if he wasn’t out there doing his stuff.

Good, I checked in on the box score late and saw it was tied and largely due to the bench.

from the days where our starters would build a huge lead and the bench would blow it. I’m very impressed with the hustle and gumption of our bench right now.

I like Gordon -
Except when he plays the suns
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
that's a nice play
the pick and roll with amare and nash, while frye goes out to the 3pt line. . . that will give nash a few options on the kickout
Much more effective than the SSoShaq of last season.
Frye’s got to remain consistent on that shot though.
40% is the mark of a good outside guy
but for a big? I’d take 37% and the respect of the opposing bigs having to stay out on the wing, leaving the block open for Amare to sell himself on a contract year.
by Max Simbron on Oct 28, 2009 10:48 PM MDT up reply actions
Excellent Point.
I’m worried though that we’ll see a lot more dual-7’ lineups against the Suns this season to help protect teams from Frye’s outside touch as well as to exploit the size disadvantage.
Didn't expect a lot from him when he got here
Surprised me so far with this 3 pt shooting.

He's doing a good job of staying in front of his man.
Unfortunately his man is shooting the lights out.

Rockets and Warriors are having a nice game. Gotta like the Rockets, with no stars and a bunch of unselfish hardworking players, they manage to play hard, defend and be in a position to win.

Did you just see the R U ORNG commercial?
is it me… or was everyone tinted red? They might wanna check color bars and tones on that.
I like the block, but I think it was just as important
that Channing ran the floor. I just hope he isn’t disheartened by the fact that Barbosa won’t ever pass in that situation. Ever.
I would never want Barbosa to pass out of that situation...EVER :P
by azmanian_devil on Oct 28, 2009 10:56 PM MDT up reply actions
that's not the point. he just won't regardless of the matchup
and that sinks into the players. Ok think about it this way… if you ran the floor with Steve, and can get a seam, you know you’re getting it.
But with Leandro? Good luck. So what would you do? Would you really run that hard next time? Maybe. And what if he doesn’t pass it to you. Again. After a while, you get it. He just doesn’t do that. So why run?
Trust me, I’ve seen it first hand. Players change when Nash is on the floor. You work your ass off because you know one simple thing: If you can get yourself open, he will find you.

still in that situation Barbosa is the best option yes?

but he's so predictable, it hurts his game
I can tell, almost every time, when he’s gonna shoot. And I’m not a basketball scout or a coach who’s trying to come up with a game plan. If you’re that predictable, that’s not good.

Statistically, they're killing us.
The difference must be in the hustle, and other intangibles that I love!
Fanaticism is not logical
Stoudemire keeps letting big guys force their way in front of him.
That has got to stop if he wants to improve his defense.

2 for 1 time
leave time on the clock to get another shot if you don’t hit, and if you do, some nice D and still a chance to hit a shot if they match the first.
Where Plus-minus fails:
Grant hills game -15, but he’s also 19 points and 13 rebounds on 50%+ shooting
Just on the court at the times when Clippers were raging
Wondering what to drink to during suns games...
plus minus
deceiving. There is no way to tell if the player is causing the minus, or keeping it from being worse

Wow
Amare is painful to watch…gets the ball on the pick and roll right in the middle of the lane and nothing…no spin move…no pull up…he’s a long way from being back
He still says he’s 100% btw. He said that on Tuesday

Nice !
Nash went all Superman on us in the 4th Quarter.
"Basketball doesn't build character. It reveals it"
this game was more important than we think
we need to beat teams like this to stay afloat in a playoff hunt. We’re just not there with the big boys, but we need to beat the teams we should beat (always been a problem with the Suns) to get a seed
There's enough bad or average teams to beat that it will keep us in the playoffs
One game at a time, take care of business.

great point
nice win…tight one but the experience came through…Nash to the rescue once again

The difference in this game?
We nailed one more three, and we grabbed one more rebound.

He wasn't the superstar we need
But I wouldn’t say he was just an empty body out there.

Hey, it was the offseason and I was hitting at the Braves and Dolphins blogs
But I’m back when it counts!

I'M out too - it was fun - we shall do it again

I’m not the biggest Amare fan in the world – in fact, I pretty much hate him – but considering he’s been out so long, he showed some nice touches. Give him time and he’ll get better.
More of an issue is that on the opening game against the Clips we need Nash to bail us out. He does that even half the season and we’re screwed.
Remember when
Amare blew that switch and left Finley wide open for the 3 in game 1 in San Antonio, 2008.
Looks like he learned from that…twice
Blogging Suns Basketball . twitter: @phoenixstan
The only one not feeling too good about this game
..has to be Tucker. On his 3rd year, with J-Rich out, he doesn’t get one single minute on the court.
We'll find out
tomorrow if they pick up his option for next year but it can’t be looking good for him…great point btw

It turned into a Suns watching party at my house after my screams and yells got the roommates to come downstairs
HOLY CRAP WE WON!
Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."
Box score
Recap coming later but just quick peak at the box score:
Dudley with only 1 steal. He was robbed
Amare and Frye 9 rebounds. Hill 13 and Dudley 7. SMH
Clark w/ 20 min and Amundson only 10. I think that has to so w/ Lou’s sore foot. He rolled it recently. They are calling it an ankle but he said it was the side of his foot that hurts when he tries to move laterally
56% FG for the Clips. Not going to get it done and only 2 fast break points….
Amare did some nice things like get to the line for 10 FTA’s and not screw up late game switches but it’s going to be struggle if that’s all he can bring
Suns only 19 total assists while Clips had 27. This team has a way’s to go
Blogging Suns Basketball . twitter: @phoenixstan
are you kidding me stan??
I’d have thought you’d lead with the header : Suns Outrebound Another Team!!!
for the record, we out rebounded them by 1 and only gave up 7 offensive boards while nabbing 10 ourselves.
I don’t care if they are the clippers, they’re bigger than us and marcus camby is a rebounding fiend…
congrats all round and I look forward to the recap..
Nice Job Suns
while the Clippers are 0-2, I honestly believe they’re a good team and this is a good win for Phoenix. Steve Nash remains fun to watch and makes clutch plays while Grant Hill continues to excel whenever he’s healthy. The season is obviously one game old, but Phoenix is off on the right foot and it’s interesting to see where they’ll end up.
