Suns 130 Blazers 85

[Horry For 3!]

Suns just owned the Blazers with their offense.

8 Suns players in double-figures.

Jones 22 pts
Marion 21 pts
Bell 21 pts
Nash 14 pts
Thomas 12 pts
Burke 12 pts
Jackson 10 pts
Thompson 10 pts

Diaw almost was in double-figures, he ended with 8 pts but also had 8 rebs 13 asts 1 stl and 3 blks.

just crazy... best part is they got to rest their oldies for tomarrows meaningful game at Golden State. When this team make it's perimeter shots, they are unstoppable because they all move without the ball, no one is selfish and everone (save for Marion) can shoot from deep and drive to the whole. They aren't as bad a rebounding team anylonger and have really stepped up their defense.

^^^^ I certainly hope Pheonix plays some D this year, honestly, it started to get boring last year watching them run and shoot, run and shoot, run and shoot, run and shoot and play no Defense. I like to see good dunks and ally oops, but please, play some D...

Oh, they've been playing D. I believe they've held seven or nine straight opponents under 100pts. KT is really starting to step up with the low post D and that's helping the rest of the team.

[JMarkJohns]

Nine straight under 100, five of which were held under 90.

They force tough shots, force turnovers, get steals and block 7/9 shots a game.

Just imagine if they had Amare too.

It'll be scary. Really, truly scary. I just hope Thomas and Nash have another two season in them after this one. I think they do, especially if Phoenix can add/keep more/it's depth. With Diaw, Barbosa and House, Nash should have his minutes cut to around 28-30 a game. If they can add another quality big, preferably a center, then Thomas would only need to play 20-25 minutes. This happens I think both are effective enough to contribute at a Championship level. I hope, anyways.

Is Phoenix that good or is Pot-land that bad? maybe both.

[JMarkJohns]

Phoenix held a 34 point lead against Indiana, a 19 point lead against Denver, a 37 point lead against Atlanta and a 48 point lead against Portland.

So recently (last four games), yes, the Suns are just that good.

[ducks]

good atleast one team might be a little challenge for the spurs


I hope to make the spurs vs suns game in phoenix on the 7 of jan
