Early starts are tough....
I am going to have to watch this one on Tivo with a couple hours late. No thread for me

quite good right now!
where full french Diaw came way too late...
We're looking kinda strong right now.
And the Celtics are looking a bit sloppy. Hopefully this will continue throughout the 1st half.
That second foul on Amare was bunk though.
And how about J-Rich? 14 points in the 1st!
my online feed has basically stopped!
I can’t watch anymore…. Don’t understand…
Enjoying the bright side!
Hows aboot Sweet Lou?
Taking it to Rasheed right there… some aggressive basketball from the “soft” Suns so far.
I downloaded a kind of toolbar
on atdhe.fr, and it’s coming back, just in time to watch a rookie move by clark!
Enjoying the bright side!
some problems
with the free throws, isn’t it?
Enjoying the bright side!
6/7 from 3
and 10 fast break points already. This is how I expected the Suns to play, and they’re not letting me down.
Plus some smart play from Dragic is making a huge difference.
free LP preview is still working for me :o
I don’t recall ever giving any credit card info so…I don’t know what’s going on.
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."
lol we're not getting charged right?

Where is everyone?
This is a fantastic game! Hopefully people aren’t skipping this one thinking it’s an automatic loss.
Dragic, Dudley and J-Rich look great so far. And our D is doing just enough to keep them shooting jumpers.
Frye isn't connecting however...
Enjoying the bright side!
True, but he's not an offensive focal point.
And if the threat of him shooting from the outside is there, he’ll still force defenders out of the lane.
Just got home from the Yankee parade
Yeah baby!!!
I also need my Suns, so I ordered league pass for my 4th season in a row. Cant really chat it up with you all cause I’m chillin with some peoples. But I am watching the game and I must say…we look FANTASTIC!!!!
yes, but a stop would be welcome now...
Enjoying the bright side!
Man, we're giving it back to them right now.
Gotta focus here. Don’t give them the momentum going into the half.
That was a great first half...
…except for 2 1/2 of the last 3 minutes.
But we’re looking pretty good so far. Stopped them from taking the momentum going into the half.
Have to keep the energy up though, keep the Celtics off-guard.
Great half!
Well on their way to the Taco Line!
Love the fiestiness from Frye.

I am
but I can’t stay away!
I only caught a couple of minutes of the game in between other stuff. Should be online for more of the second half and I’ll go back and watch the 1st half later!

I'm impressed with the fire we're playing with.
We almost gave it away near the end of the half, but really pulled it together (thanks primarily to Sweet Lou) to hold on at the end of the 2nd quarter.
Dragic looks like a ballplayer. Dudley and Lou are making some important plays off the bench.
The only worries are the fact that Frye can’t hit a shot right now (although he’s not a focal point of the offense, so it’s not too detrimental) and the foul trouble with Amare and Hill. Oh, and that Celtic tendency to crush teams in the 2nd half this season.
You can tell that he doesn't have the lift back yet...
…but that’s the second nice dunk he’s had this game.
ganett is on fire too
Enjoying the bright side!
We are looking good
but we’ve got to find a way to keep them out of the lane. Those points are adding up.
Yeah, no kidding.
Wish the had the front angle of it… hard to tell if Nash took it in the throat or on the chin. Either way that was harsh… and a nice stop.
The effort levels, hustleand overall play is outstanding tonight. I’d accept a loss if we show this much energy.
I'm very impressed with how we've played through 3 so far.
This is a winnable game. Without a doubt.
goran dragic is a terrific defender
ok, it was a terrific play, i dont know if we can call him a terrific defender yet.
but i liked that
That shows how far Dragic has come right there.
Last season he would have pouted his way back up the court after a turnover. This season he goes back and reclaims it. I’m really impressed with this kid so far this season.
same problem.
It’s not the best moment to stop the feed!
Enjoying the bright side!
What kind of bizarro Planet Orange am I on...
…where the bench can build up a lead and the starters piss it away?
Two nights in a row the bench outplays the starters?
I can’t wait for the post game!! God I wish I didn’t work tonight!!
Fanaticism is not logical
I know this would be a bit late, but
what would have happened in the Magic game if they were not playing back to back during that game
Thats Taco Line!

Nash is a killer these days
He really seems to enhoy the team compared to last year…
Enjoying the bright side!
Old guy ftw!!!

NOT ONLY DID WE STOP THE C'S UNDEFEATED RECORD, BUT WE DID IT
BY OUT TOUGHING THESE TOUGH GUYS
I watch one or two game a year,
I guess this one was the good one!
Good night suns!!!!
Enjoying the bright side!
Unbelievable game.
This game really proves what the Suns are capable of this season.
Of course, everyone will find a way to say that the Celtics lost this game more than the Suns won it. But they’re wrong.
OH MY GOD WE BEAT BOSTON
WE BEAT BOSTON WE BEAT BOSTON WE WON!

Good win
i take it back, i thought it was gonna be a blowout. richardson played well. the team played with a lot of heart. GO SUNS!!!
well we had really high expectations in 06/07 and 07/08
in 04/05 and 05/06….we weren’t expected to do much by the experts….that’s what made it so fun
I'm thinking this team will suprise many
and finish as a top 4 seed
Going on the assumption that we continue to play the way we have.
We’re gonna be better than everyone else in the West but the Lakers, record-wise anyway. I can’t wait until we play LA to see how we stack up.
On ESPN just now they called Nash Kerr by mistake, lol. Something going on there?
Fanaticism is not logical
I see how we won, we went to the line twice as much...but I don't get it.
They had way more made buckets than us. I can’t wait for the gamewrap. I can’t tell anything by the stats. Craziness!
I’m wired, of course.
Fanaticism is not logical
how did we win ?
i didnt see the game but looking at the stats it still amazes me we won
lots of stuff, but IMO
lots of hustle plays, richardson going off, and us making big shots while they missed big shots
It reset this team. Got a clean start. Rejuvinized Nash.
Yeah it was a good idea!
Fanaticism is not logical
Plus we were on from deep. 3 points is always better than 2

I'm putting it together now in my mind.
They outshot us from the floor, but we killed them from the line and from 3-point range. Everything else seems really even, except like Sensei said, we outhustled them. Awesome!
Fanaticism is not logical
What a great game!
We outhustled their reer ends off the floor. I’m very proud of this team. How about Nash showing a little bit of emotion on the last dagger? he even threw a towel on the floor…
I’m loving this team!

Dudley and Dragic
Won this game early in the 4th as much as anyone

if you look at the +/- on the box score ...
… the bench won this game for us
We freakin’ beat boston IN BOSTON! I’m stoked!!
"The mustard is off the hot dog!"
not that I put a lot of stock in +/-
but the bench did play well, especially dudley
"The mustard is off the hot dog!"
also 'sheed jackin' threes ...
… and brickin’ em helped too. 0-6 for the game.

Congrats to the Suns
This was a real accomplishment. Let’s be cool about it. BTW, the Lakers are not playing great without Gasol, maybe we can get some distance.

Great win
This team is developing excellent chemistry, great floor spacing, teamwork, and surprisingly effective defense.
win or lose, though, i’m happy to enjoy a Suns season where i feel like I’m watching a team play together and for each other….
not too rain on the parade but
its still early on in the season. this W shows us that our guys got game. they like each other. they can be fun like our SSOL teams but tough like our Shaq-era team. most importantly, it also shows us that alvin gentry really knows what he is doing with this squad.
but beating boston does not necesarily make us an elite team. not yet anyway. you have to prove that in the postseason (just ask Tim Duncan)—and by getting into the postseason. as gentry and nash have said many times, this team still needs more time to see what it can really be and to grow into that. i trust what those guys say.
for now, lets celebrate all the positives (hungry starters and a badass bench) for what they are, nothing more. but celebrate them nonetheless :D
This is a good crew
The only potential troublemaker I see is Amare, andhe’s got to be insane to make trouble. This squad is tailor made for him to have a monster year. Perhaps if the Suns get a top 4 seed and make it to the WCF or farther, he may want to stay.

Epic win btw
Loved this game, I really cant believe we pulled this one out.
