Go Suns!!!
RoLo vs Kaman is about to begin!!
We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive,where every sense is heightened, and every emotion is magnified. Our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon, but that doesn't diminish its value, because we are left with memoriesthat we treasure for the rest of our lives.
that's better.

i wouldn’t mind j-rich shooting more but he needs to attack the rim when he gets the ball or shoot open shots in the flow of the offense…
with regards to barbosa i hope when he ocmes back he integrates into the offense again...
the Suns are playing with good chemistry as of late… don’t need to mess that up
More Lopez
And he’s doing dang well against Kaman defensively

Ha ha ha ha!
That was the worst 24 second shot clock violation I;ve ever seen…all they did was make one pass inside to kaman and time expired!
your seeing Amare have trouble with a bigger PF as he typically does...
i don’t know what we do about that…we can’t double Craig Smith can we?
Not a great bench night
but the starters getting it DONE

I hate these Cisco commercials...
htf is ellen page suppose to help sell routers and networking products?
Am I imagining it or has Nash's defensive deficiencies been mentioned less this year?
Any coincidence that he’s finally playing with a typical big man?
i am writing a fan post debugging the myth of Nash being an epically poor defender...
he isn’t great but but really gets more flack for it then he deserves….
Not true - His lack of perimeter D does not help the big men inside
And the rooks and scrubs are hustling better at Defence.
Robin is far exceeding
my expectations and I was always really high on the guy…just wow.
He’s been putting in the work but for it to be paying off this fast…great to see.

Piss poor game by Suns
except Robin. Will they wake up, or let Dallas get another game ahead?
It depends on whether the Suns let All-World Craig Smith dominate their Mr. Max power forward. Stay tuned.

Don't you think
they should be ripping the Clips? Should Craig Smith play this well against the guy who wants $100 mill?
April 29, 2008 Total Eclipse of the Sun. Is the sky falling?
The best thing about the emergence of Lopez's game
Is the variety of shots he can make. It’s not just put back dunks. He’s got little hook shots, soft lay-ins, Amare-esque sky hooks, scoop shots, even little jumpers less than 10 feet from the hoop.
Anyone got the Clips feed?
Halftime interview was Chris Kaman who needed oxygen. He mentioned they’d have to make some adjustments on Lopez. An NBA team is adjusting their game plan to account for Robin Lopez. Whodathunk?
Kim Hughes happy with 3 point defense and pace, not happy with deep touches for Lopez.

Suns have to adjust
for Craig Smith…they weren’t prepared for that guy. Cut his production in half and this game’s OVAH

I think the Clips will adjust
And Amare will take over. I’ll guess Lopez gets 26 points and 8 rebounds.
And Gordon will answer back in 20 plus points too

This is a bad macthup...
Good three point shooters, (had) a good interior presence.
50% is a little lucky – taking a LOT of 3s – and 7/12 from 3.
OMG Robin has zero fouls!

Blazers lose and Spurs losing
this is turning out to be a great night…too bad the mavs pulled it out at the end in OT
I'm enjoying Memphis' slide back to mediocrity and the gap between making and not making the playoffs is increasing.
Each night I can sleep a little easier. I don’t mind too much what seed we go in as, as I truly believe in a seven games series we can beat anyone.
On the flipside of that, I think we have an awful propensity to lose to anyone as well.
