Suns at Rockets

[Pelicans78]

Big game for the race in the West. Suns need to win tonight because they have a b2b going at New Orleans tomorrow where they don't play well in recent memory.

Rockets should keep McGrady and let his contract expire. It's really simple math. Don't add salary. Need to get a center and a SG and they should be fine next season. Maybe they can trade Scola, get a center, move Hayes to the bench. They need to sign Joe Johnson in the offseason.

Nice scenario, but Joe Johnson will resign with the Hawks....

Nash may be out tonight with an abdominal strain: http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/2010/01/31/20100131suns-nash-may-not-play.html

Dragic would be our only PG left. Grant Hill would have to play backup PG I guess.

Dont worry, he'll have a big game against us

[pauls931]

Dragic will go off for 48 without minutes being wasted on Nash.

[Pero]

Nash might not play? Ok I'm going to watch. I just hope Dragic does stink it up lol.

If we let McGrady expire we would have about 7 million to spend. That doesnt get you Johnson.

[Pero]

Blast, Nash is playing.

[Pelicans78]

That's it? But T-Mac makes 22 million.

[Pero]

Dragic in.

[Xylus]

Suns need this one bad. Let's get back on track.

[Pero]

Seems like they're playing better with their bench than the starters. :lol

[Pero]

Damn it, stream is gone.

[Kobe Molested Me]

rockets on fire in the 3rd

[21_Blessings]

epic Suns fail in process

[21_Blessings]

Are you guys resigning Scola?

[pauls931]

Hate to see Nash waste a 0 turnover game on a loss here. BTW if they lose, I blame Richardson.

[Kobe Molested Me]

take this game home brooks!!

[The Franchise]

Sun shining on a dogs ass!!! Ariza!!

[Kobe Molested Me]

holy shit ariza, unbelieveable

[Darthkiller]

horrible play by nash, dude just dribbled out the clock and fell down

[armand0]

nice choking job by nash:lol

[djohn2oo8]

OT!! Somebody foul out Amare

[Kobe Molested Me]

lets goo rockets!! dont waste ariza's only good play of the season!!

[Darthkiller]

that nash tech is now coming back to bite him in the ass

[Xylus]

Man, Nash sure bleeds a lot.

[Xylus]

Wow, what the fuck, Nash.

[Allanon]

Pretty great game.

[Xylus]

God, JRich is garbage.

[Xylus]

Hit your free throws, JD!

[Allanon]

Where's Amare?

[Xylus]

Clutch motherfucking Dudley.

[Xylus]

Where's Amare?

Fouled out a couple minutes into overtime.

[Allanon]

Fouled out a couple minutes into overtime.

Thanks.

[Allanon]

Wow, I've finally seen the foul play in a 3 point game.

Makes sense too since the Rockets are out of time outs.

[Darthkiller]

lol brooks

[Xylus]

Wow, that was a nice try by Brooks. I'm surprised the ref called that lane violation.

[IronMexican]

is this on nationally?

[blink]

gfg

[Allanon]

is this on nationally?

NBATV :lol

I had to go find it on the internet...it's over now though.

[IronMexican]

I'll just stick to the pro bowl. No NBA tv.

[Double-Up]

Dammit we put up a hell of a fight but good win for Phoenix.

[Xylus]

Good game, Houston fans.

[Kobe Molested Me]

Good game, Houston fans.


:toast

[j.dizzle]

Damn "30%" Ariza needs to stop chuckin 3's like hes reggie miller..Seriously is anybody coaching him? I know he hit a shot to put them into OT but he also shot them out of OT

[The Franchise]

Good game Suns fans. Does anyone out there want to offer something for Battier?

[pauls931]

Good game houston, it would have have hurt to lose this one with Nash for once having a high assist game without 6 or 7 turnovers.

[Pelicans78]

Thought the Rockets were going to pull this out.

Tomorrow's a huge game between Phoenix at New Orleans. If the Hornets win, they move into the 7th spot. If they lose they fall to 9th behind OKC.

[Lars]

Good game Phoenix

[sook]

fucking trevor he hits one big shot and he shoots 4 3s in OT alone. Fucking bastard.

[vicphoenix13]

Nash had 16 assists and no turnovers. The Suns lose this game if he had turnover issues. Despite this, the Suns still have a team wide issue with turnovers. They had 16 turnovers as a team even when Nash had none.

[vicphoenix13]

The Rockets work as hard as any team in the NBA. The problem is the perimeter players are too trigger happy. Brooks and Ariza love to shoot threes way too much. Adelman should force them to pass it into Landry or Scola in the post more often.

[sook]

Brooks actually makes his though.

I agree, a perfect Nash game should result in the suns winning by double digits easily against any team on any court, not struggle resulting in OT. Amare had a monster game too, granted it may have been volume shooting. Richardson really blew though... Somethin's going to happen going into the trade deadline.

[Kamnik]

Fuck Gentry!

Why the hell does Dragič play only 16 minutes?

If Barbosa would be healthy he would play what, 3 minutes?

I thought Amare was extremely unimpressive. The Suns actually went on their runs when he was off the floor.

His explosiveness is just GONE. 36 points and not one was from a dunk. Jump shots and free throws. This is AMARE STOUDEMIRE were talking about here.

[Pero]

Fuck Gentry!

ESPN says 14 minutes. Dragic should be getting at least 20 minutes per game. I don't know what Gentry is thinking.

If Nash is dishing out high double digit assists, not having to score, and is not committing turnovers, I can live that. If he was having one of his more typical games as of late, I'd agree with you.

[Xylus]

If Nash is dishing that well, it's wise to keep him in the game. But I'd rather see Dragic at the 2 in late game situations over JRich. I've not seen JRich hit one big shot in crunch time this year, and his D is worse.

I thought Jrich was supposed to be good at D? Either way him getting paid almost as much as Nash and Amare is getting ridiculous. Regarding Amare, not dunking, is he trying to protect his health? hmmmm....

Dantizzle has a hidden black panther agenda. That's the only explanation I can come up with for him playing J-Fag over Dragic.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Oh yeah and Nash sure lit the fuckin world up last night. 2 of 10 shooting, a technical and an away from the ball foul that almost cost the Suns a game. They'll win the finals if he keeps playing like that :tu

I don't know, I guess they're worried about looking silly benching someone they paid 13 mil for while playing a 1.7 mil? second year player. Sarver probably threatened to fire Gentry if he doesn't make JRich look good by the end of the season.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

When one team shoots 48.2% and the other team shoots 37.7%, they should win by 15+ points, not need overtime to win by 4. Idk how more people haven't gotten tired of watching the Suns regularly turn the ball over 15+ times and give up 20 offensive rebounds.

From the moment he traded for him Kerr has been in love with J-Bitch and has insisted he can be a lock down defender and efficient offensive player. My guess is Kerr has fixated on that image and has made Gentry know that he wants J-Rich to get his minutes every night. Gotta love how the Suns are run.

[Ghazi]

Suns are gonna bukkake the Hornets tonight!

Word from Gambodoro is the Suns are DESPERATE to move J-Rich but there are no takers.

Hopefully once the trade deadline passes they'll give up on trying to showcase him to other teams and move him to an area he should be more familiar with, the bench.

[redzero]

Prepare your butts, Suns fans. Darren Collison is coming!

[Xylus]

Last time the Suns played the Hornets sans Chris Paul, they were embarrassed by Peja. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

No team should ever let Peja Stojakovic crash the boards like that.

Incredible Steve Nash quote from last night:


"I was trying my best not to shoot," Nash said. "Maybe it was because I stayed in the room and laid on my back about 14 hours. But I got through it. Most of my shots off the dribble so trying to control myself with the soreness and the pain weren't the best part of my movement. I tried to do other things, hustling and defense, save some energy for some other things I usually don't do much of."

http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/2010/01/31/20100131suns-nash-ok-to-play.html

[Pero]

What are those other things? :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

"I tried to do other things, hustling and defense, save some energy for some other things I usually don't do much of."

Why did my name turn bold?

And Steve Nash just made DOK's YEAR!

[Xylus]

Probably because you're a Spurs fan with a high post count.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I don't really laugh at the content itself anymore. What I'm laughing at in this situation is how Nash is able to basically say he doesn't play defense very much knowing that he'll face no backlash for it. If Amare said he doesn't play defense very much people would be ready to burn him at the stake. I've given up on hoping people will want to rebuild because they've gotten tired of watching this garbage, at this point I chose to just laugh at the stuff those people are OK with Nash or Hill saying.

[Pero]

Ah... Kind of funny though, the post number for that seems to be 2450 or something. Why not 2500 or 2400 or 2000 or 3000?

Timvp just goes in and adjusts it here and there. There are people with a lot more than 2450 who aren't bolded while there are people with less than 1000 who are.

Well Nash's got two years left right? That's not so long to wait. :D

Though I wonder if Amare leaves this year how the Suns will look like during those two years...
