Nice play by Shaq. Big man looking agile!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[Kriz-Maxima]

Boston is letting the Suns control the tempo.

[Xylus]

Suns have taken control of the game in the early going.

Amare playing like it's the playoffs.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

sometimes against the suns , teams dont have a choice. however, boston will find a way to play their game. i hope. go celts !

[Hemotivo]

[Xylus]

Rebounds:

Suns - 12
Celtics - 1

[BonnerDynasty]

Boston: "What the fuck is this!? I thought this "run'n'gun" stuff didn't really work??.."

[Xylus]

Barbosa and Pierce just collided. Ouch!

[LA24]

Pick it up Boston !! All Laker fans are rootin' for you tonight...I think. :smokin

[Xylus]

[SpursFanFirst]

Boston realizes the game has started, right?

[boutons_]

[Xylus]

Suns starting to cool off as Boston's D improves.

[SpursFanFirst]

HighLow, I'm slow, but congrats on that 1,000th post! :tu

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[ducks]

shaq three tunrovers aready

[LakeShow]

Dammit, Why did the Suns have to get Shaq? I actually like them now. :madrun

[BonnerDynasty]

Damn Shaq.

[Xylus]

Dammit, Why did the Suns have to get Shaq? I actually like them now. :madrun
:lmao

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Dammit, Why did the Suns have to get Shaq? I actually like them now. :madrun

[SpursFanFirst]

cngrats on your recent #2000 !


:) thanks!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

damn, will boston go 0-3 on this WC road trip

[Xylus]

Seriously.

11 fucking turnovers.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Dammit, Why did the Suns have to get Shaq? I actually like them now. :madrun


Im the other way. I didnt like the Suns but I tolerated them. Now that they have Shaq I just can't stand them, like the Heat and the Lakers before them.

[SpursFanFirst]

Seriously.

11 fucking turnovers.

Is that not typical for the Suns? It seems like, every time I've watched them, they've had high TO...I think they move too fast for themselves.

[Xylus]

The Suns typically have a low TO rate. They did in past years, anyway, I'm not sure about this year.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

i think they're moving too fast for Snack

[Xylus]

Bell already has more points than he did in the Lakers game.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Xylus- have you had marks long enough to know he aint ever afraid to shoot?
thats what i remember about his game more than anything

[BonnerDynasty]

Get in that ass Kevin!

[BonnerDynasty]

How did Amare just not get a technical? C'mon!

[Xylus]

Stoudemire and Garnett really going at it.

Grant Hill just told Stoudemire to keep his cool.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

come on boston

[SpursFanFirst]

Did ESPN show the Suns open again? That cracked me up!

[ludda]

Suns should have a bigger lead. Theyre playing sloppy.

[BonnerDynasty]

Perkins with the horns!

[SpursFanFirst]

:lol

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

ahahahahahahahah P Pierce hahahahahaa

[Xylus]

14 TO's.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

:donkey

[SpursFanFirst]

ahahahahahahahah P Pierce hahahahahaa

HOW did he miss that???!!

[Xylus]

I've never seen a team turn it over this much in the first half.

[BonnerDynasty]

Lmmfao That Espn Commercial!!!!!!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

HOW did he miss that???!!

the rim had other plans? IDK but it was funny as hell. im still lol'

[Dex]

Is there any way both teams can lose this game?

[BonnerDynasty]

Shaq with another TO haha

[Xylus]

16 To.

[JamStone]

Neither of these two teams look like championship caliber clubs.

Why do they suck so bad tonight?

[SpursFanFirst]

16 To.

They should keep a tote board on the bottom of the screen!

[Xylus]

Why is every Suns player bobbling the ball everytime they touch it?!

[Kriz-Maxima]

Will Stoudamire and Garnett get into it before this game is over?

[BonnerDynasty]

Garnett Amare is heating up!!!!!

[Xylus]

I hope Garnett and Amare throw punches. :lmao

[hater]

these 2 teams are supposed to be contenders to take out the Spurs???

:lmao

[JamStone]

how the hell does Phoenix not score a field goal in 12 minutes??????

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

this sh is getting physical in a hurry

[Xylus]

how the hell does Phoenix not score a field goal in 12 minutes??????
They haven't had a FG attempt in 12 minutes :lol

[Warlord23]

D'Antoni is an idiot. They have Shaq out there for 25-30 minutes, throw it into him in the half-court. They're trying to force passes all over the place and turning it over.

[DazedAndConfused]

Amare and Garnett are gonna get thrown out of this game soon. I'm actually rooting for Amare to flush one down on KG.

[hater]

Garnett is one stupid mofo to let Amare get in his head.

Amare has gotten into a Spur's head zero times. Especially in regular season.

[Xylus]

What the fuck, Stoudemire. Wide open jumper and you take it inside?? You shoot that jumper at like a 50% clip...

[DazedAndConfused]

these 2 teams are supposed to be contenders to take out the Spurs???

:lmao

last I checked you were one technical foul away from losing to the fucking T-Wolves. I wouldn't talk shit.

[hater]

:lol I'm telling you, turn Benny Hill music to this game and you'll have a good time

[DazedAndConfused]

What the fuck, Stoudemire. Wide open jumper and you take it inside?? You shoot that jumper at like a 50% clip...

He wants to dunk it on KG. It's fucking great, I really want to see him do it.

[hater]

last I checked you were one technical foul away from losing to the fucking T-Wolves. I wouldn't talk shit.

we got a W didn't we?

[Xylus]

3rd foul on Garnett!

[hater]

Amare's IQ > Garnett's :lol

[Warlord23]

Lol at KG getting punked by Amare

[SpursFanFirst]

:lol another elbow

[Xylus]

I want to have sex with Grant Hill.

[BonnerDynasty]

Did he just call them The Funs?

[DazedAndConfused]

Shaq has DEFINITELY made PHX a much better defensive team. Once they figure out the offense with Shaq they will be better for it.

[Xylus]

Suns went from not scoring in 11:30, to scoring 9 points in like 30 seconds :lmao

This is the oddest, greatest, worst game I've ever watched!

[Xylus]

Shaq has DEFINITELY made PHX a much better defensive team. Once they figure out the offense with Shaq they will be better for it.
Except they gave up 130 points to the Lakers. It looks like they'll give up about 80 to the Celtics tonight.

I don't know what to believe right now.

[SpursFanFirst]

:wtf is this commercial???

[BonnerDynasty]

haha I've seen that guys show before. It is gross!

[Warlord23]

Shaq has DEFINITELY made PHX a much better defensive team. Once they figure out the offense with Shaq they will be better for it.

I wouldn't go that far and call Phx a defensive power. Sure Shaq clogs up the lane and gobbles up the rebounds, but LA exposed him on the pick-n-roll the other day.

Boston isn't good enough to run a good pick-n-roll; not really Rondo's strength. Their reliance on the iso game is what is killing them.

[DazedAndConfused]

Except they gave up 130 points to the Lakers. It looks like they'll give up about 80 to the Celtics tonight.

I don't know what to believe right now.

All I know is Amare's game has improved by leaps and bounds. He is active even on defense in a way I haven't seen all year.

[BonnerDynasty]

You gotta hand it to Stern. It's cool how he gets them to do so much community service.

[DazedAndConfused]

Suns putting on a clinic on both ends of the floor.

[dirk4mvp]

That pullup 3 by Bell on the break was insane.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

no garnett, amare shoots the j, hmmm

[SpursFanFirst]

nice block

[dirk4mvp]

Damn what a block by Amare! This is a damn game!

[BonnerDynasty]

haha nice shot! to the neck!

[Xylus]

Cheap foul by Perkins...

A clear retaliation. Stoudemire is clearly in the Celtics' heads.

[DazedAndConfused]

Celtics are fucking stupid. They think this is some kind of gang fight. Fucking morons.

[SpursFanFirst]

What's with the hate between these two teams? Is this an ongoing thing that I don't know about?

[BonnerDynasty]

Bowen: These guys are noobs at this.

[Xylus]

What's with the hate between these two teams? Is this an ongoing thing that I don't know about?
These two teams have never played each other this season...

[dirk4mvp]

What's with the hate between these two teams? Is this an ongoing thing that I don't know about?


Amare's idiotic ego vs. Garnett's idiotic ego doesn't go well together :lol

[DazedAndConfused]

Celtics self-destructing.

[SpursFanFirst]

These two teams have never played each other this season...

Is there bad blood between Amare and Kevin?

[BonnerDynasty]

Refs giving the Suns this game. That guy was still sliding his feet.

[Xylus]

Is there bad blood between Amare and Kevin?
Nope, I don't think these guys have ever gone at it like this.

[BonnerDynasty]

Boston is PHYSICAL.

Spurs are DIRTY.

[DazedAndConfused]

Why am I rooting for the Suns?

[SpursFanFirst]

Nope, I don't think these guys have ever gone at it like this.

Weird. Ok.

[san antonio spurs]

the celts are killing themselves.
they better settle down

[Xylus]

Suns suddenly don't look that weak mentally...

[SpursFanFirst]

what the hell is he saying???

[Xylus]

"Yeah, thanks to Powerade" *SMILE*

:lol

[SpursFanFirst]

"Yeah, thanks to Powerade" *SMILE*

:lol

That's the only part I understood. :lol

[Warlord23]

Well the Suns finally getting to know how it feels playing half-court playoff-style basketball. The intensity of this game is really impressive right now.

Shaq definitely changes things for the Suns. But as long as D'Antoni is the coach, they'll find it tough to use the Diesel to their advantage on the offensive end.

[JamStone]

KG is one of my favorite players, but this is one of the things that bugs me about him, when he turns into "tough guy" on the court. Just fucking play man.

[Xylus]

Not only D'Antoni. The Suns franchise has never really had a legitimate big man, not while I've been alive, anyway. This is a completely new thing for the franchise, for D'Antoni, for the players, and for us fans.

[Warlord23]

KG is an idiot. He wants to look tough, intense, gangsta and a whole lot of other adjectives, instead of focusing on doing what is needed to win.

[Warlord23]

Not only D'Antoni. The Suns franchise has never really had a legitimate big man, not while I've been alive, anyway. This is a completely new thing for the franchise, for D'Antoni, for the players, and for us fans.

Well Xylus, this is the kind of basketball for which the Spurs are called dirty, boring etc. Welcome to the club. Although the media is never going to level such accusations on their favorite team.

[Hemotivo]

where's the BBall IQ of Boris Diaw?

[Xylus]

Walton complementing Shaq?!?!

[Amarelooms]

This game is awful...the refs are letting the Suns get away with murder but call cheap ass offensive fouls on the Celtics. I predict an altercation before it's over

[Xylus]

Well Xylus, this is the kind of basketball for which the Spurs are called dirty, boring etc. Welcome to the club. Although the media is never going to level such accusations on their favorite team.
Thank you, it's great to be a part of this club. :lol

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Celts win= suns loss
Suns win= boston i s humbled bigtime

as close as the WC is, there are so many win/win situations

[hater]

Garnett reminds me of those guys that go to the club acting all hard. and by the end of the night get the shit kicked out of them.

[Amarelooms]

Garnett reminds me of those guys that go to the club acting all hard. and by the end of the night get the shit kicked out of them.

and Amare is not a thug? LOL...GOOD ONE They both suck ass :elephant

[SpursFanFirst]

:lol

[Xylus]

C'mon STAT....don't be a douche.

[Allanon]

That was a sick dunk by KG over Amare, he turned that ball back into Amare's face.

[Xylus]

There ya go. 2 easy jumpers.

[DazedAndConfused]

Pierce is embarrassing himself tonight.

[hater]

come on celtics Suns need a L

[Xylus]

17 TO's.

[td4mvp21]

I think the Celtics are going to steal this.

[Amarelooms]

Who is playing for Ray Allen? He sucks

[Xylus]

DJ Strawberry doing everything on defense.

Huge shot by Raja.

[Xylus]

Raja has been guarding Ray Allen most of the night.

[san antonio spurs]

a few bad calls against the celts

[Warlord23]

The Celtics look like they blew their wad in the 1st half of the season. Allen and Pierce stinking it up tonight.

[Xylus]

Suns drawing offensive fouls like crazy.

[DazedAndConfused]

The Celtics are playing stupid.

[hater]

stupid fucking celtics

[Amarelooms]

LOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL at the Suns floppin and getting calls

[JamStone]

It's KG's fault for going tough guy and all his "brotherhood" teammates trying to go tough guy too.

Plus Ray Ray and Pee Pee stinking it up on offense.

[Xylus]

18 TO's for the Suns.
16 TO's for the Celtics.

Suns winning the rebounding war, 36-21... unfuckingbelievable.

[stretch]

are the suns shooting some shots?

[Amarelooms]

Suns drawing offensive fouls like crazy.

Man I hate the Suns...bunch of floppers. Hell I respect Flopnobli that dude has skills but most of the Suns are just posers. Except for Amare of course...he LOOMS :elephant

[hater]

OMG I forgot celtics have Posey

that dude shoul have been banging in there since the 1st half

[Amarelooms]

Suns allowed to constantly go over the back?

[Xylus]

Suns allowed to constantly go over the back?
:blah :blah :blah

[DazedAndConfused]

The refs are a fucking joke once again. They were terrible when we played PHX and they are even worse tonight.

[hater]

The refs are a fucking joke once again. They were terrible when we played PHX and they are even worse tonight.

It's Stern's new NBA. he probably got on the phone with the refs. what a pussy as game

[hater]

stupid refs are calling every fucking contact.

[san antonio spurs]

D'antoni saying his team won't be the one taking it no more like in the past :lol

[hater]

that guy Tony Allen really really sucks

[ludda]

ugly game for both teams. Nash with only 4 assists? Is that a first

[ludda]

Nothing is funnier than Snaq at the FT line. Well CHuck Hayes is funnier I guess.

[lurker]

It's pretty funny how nuts the fans go when Shaq actually makes a free throw.

[Medvedenko]

Can the celtics run a fast break.....jeez...

[JMarkJohns]

Nothing is funnier than Snaq at the FT line. Well CHuck Hayes is funnier I guess.

Nothing was funnier than Anthony Mason and his one-armed, hitch shot...

[angel_luv]

I dislike both the Suns and the Celtics ( my apologies to the Kiwi and my dad, respectively). I am not sure who I most want to lose.

[Amarelooms]

Can the celtics run a fast break.....jeez...

Lol yeah they have a 3 on 1 and three things happen:

1. Charge
2. Turnover
3. Brick from the outside

:elephant

[Amarelooms]

I dislike both the Suns and the Celtics ( my apologies to the Kiwi and my dad, respectively). I am not sure who I most want to lose.


Hey how are you? :elephant

[td4mvp21]

OMG AMARE IS SO DIRTY HE ELBOWED GARNETT AND PUSHED HIM I HATE HIM HE IS SO DIRTY HE IS CHEAP HE IS A CHEATER!






















































:rolleyes

[Medvedenko]

I hate the flopping in this game....but the Suns are playing tough D.......

[Amarelooms]

OMG AMARE IS SO DIRTY HE ELBOWED GARNETT AND PUSHED HIM I HATE HIM HE IS SO DIRTY HE IS CHEAP HE IS A CHEATER!

:rolleyes

Amare LOOMS genius...get with the program :elephant

[SpursFanFirst]

This game is over.

[boutons_]

Allen and Pierce choked in a statement game, 3 FG - 23 FGA
Celts look much less impressive than their record.

[Medvedenko]

Celtics played horrible...makes me wonder how they have the record they have. Horrible shooting by Allen and Pierce...not going to get it done. Oh, and they can't rebound for shit. I love Shaq sitting in the 4th quarter with the game on the line......brings back fond memories.

[Xylus]

Best Suns game of the season. I've been waiting for a statement win like this for months, and here it is.

[angel_luv]

Hey how are you? :elephant


I am well, ty.

Hope you are well too. :)

[Medvedenko]

Boris played well...

[BillsCarnage]

Celtics are overrated...

They're going to get worked by the rest of the top western teams as they already have. They might be able to beat NO or Dallas, but they should get worked on the Texas triangle next month.

[Allanon]

Celtics or Suns losing this game is good for the other good teams in the West.

Celtics win, West teams move up.
Celtics lose, West gets a better chance to get the overall #1 seed and HCA throughout.

EDIT: Whoa, just saw that the Clips beat the Jazz 114 to 104.

[BillsCarnage]

Celtics win, West teams move up.
Celtics lose, West gets a better chance to get the overall #1 seed and HCA throughout.

Detroit or Boston will get HCA in the PO's. I don't think any Western team will win more than 58gms or less. Definitely no 60gm winners.

Detroit is the one to watch out for if they get HCA.

[Amare'sLoom]

Amare LOOMS genius...get with the program :elephant

You damn skippy he does yo :elephant :elephant

[BonnerDynasty]

Best Suns game of the season. I've been waiting for a statement win like this for months, and here it is.

A statement game? Celtics shot horribly.

[Xylus]

A statement game? Celtics shot horribly.
Uhhh...yeah?

Suns shot horribly, too.

[Amarelooms]

I am well, ty.

Hope you are well too. :)

Ty sexy you are too kind...now if only you would cheer for my Mavs... :elephant

[RonMexico]

that guy Tony Allen really really sucks

A good representative of the Oklahoma State basketball program.

[SA Gunslinger]

I don't watch the Suns on regular basis but I would bet that they don't normally win ugly games like tonight. This worries me, a little.

[hater]

I don't watch the Suns on regular basis but I would bet that they don't normally win ugly games like tonight. This worries me, a little.

do not be worried. Celtics beat themselves tonight.

[BillsCarnage]

I don't watch the Suns on regular basis but I would bet that they don't normally win ugly games like tonight. This worries me, a little.

They won a number of ugly regular season games last year. Both of the Spurs games this year teetered on ugly and they split those.

In two games so far Shaq is doing what he needs to do.. Just be a presence in the paint.

Both teams shot horribly, but the Suns controlled the boards.. by a lot overall and 12-8 on the OREB's..

[ApolloCreed]

Once again, how does one guy make such a dramatic difference?

How did the Suns go from the worst rebounding team in the history of the league to being dominant on the boards?

The Celtics were "one and done" the entire game.

[hater]

exactly. Garnett started his stupid antics and the whole team went down the toilet with him.

I will give Amare his props for owning Garnett, but then again, garnett owned himself.

[Jeremy]

Because he's Shaq.

GMAFB

[ApolloCreed]

I meant how the Suns outrebounded both the Lakers and Celtics who are very good rebounding teams that last two outings.

The formula for beating the Suns was crash the boards because they're terrible out rebounding and you can't outshoot them (even though the Lakers did the other night).

If the Suns are a good rebounding team now, then they're a whole lot better.

Grant Hill is a stud.

[Jeremy]

All season, we've been 30th (dead last) in rebounding. It'll be interesting to see where we can end up.

[Xylus]

Grant Hill is a stud.
The Suns average 50% FG, but were the worst rebounding team in the league before Shaq played his first game in a Suns uniform. You're right that the formula for beating them was to control the glass, get a ton of offensive rebounds, which would lead to several more shot attempts than Phoenix. If this trend continues, the Suns will not only shoot at a higher percentage than most teams on most nights, they'll have more shot attempts, as well.

[TampaDude]

The scary thing is that if the Suns hadn't gone ice cold in the 2nd quarter, they win this game by 20+ easily...the Celtics were just plain outplayed by PHX.

Welcome to the new West, Boston!!! :lol

[BillsCarnage]

Once again, how does one guy make such a dramatic difference?

How did the Suns go from the worst rebounding team in the history of the league to being dominant on the boards?

The Celtics were "one and done" the entire game.

I've said this in other treads...

Pre Shaq the Suns were out rebounded because the other team just had to box out Amare and if Marion couldn't jump high enough there was no one else around on the Suns to get the rebound. Rebounding in the paint was horrible for the Suns and that's why the other teams got so many OREBs.

Shaq's sheer size almost demands two players for the rebound. This now frees up Amare to go to town and pound the glass as well. If 2 Suns players require 3 opponent players in the paint than that means the Suns have a 3-2 advantage for the long rebounds.

ppl some how expect Shaq to get 25/15 or the trade is a failure, but the Suns don't need that.. They've just needed that big body in the paint to cause a disruption with other teams. So far he's doing just that.

[SA Gunslinger]

They won a number of ugly regular season games last year. Both of the Spurs games this year teetered on ugly and they split those.

Both teams shot horribly, but the Suns controlled the boards.. by a lot overall and 12-8 on the OREB's..

But in the ugly games they won last year, were the scores in the 80's and 70's?

[Xylus]

But in the ugly games they won last year, were the scores in the 80's and 70's?
No, the ugly games were all in the 90's, high 80's, which is ugly by Phoenix's standards. We won one of those games against the Lakers (93-85), and another against the Hornets (92-83), and lost one to San Antonio (85-92), and Detroit (83-105). Those were the only "ugly" games I saw looking at the '06-'07 schedule.

This is something new.

[BillsCarnage]

But in the ugly games they won last year, were the scores in the 80's and 70's?

Hmm, actually you're right.. Last year, the Suns won a few games when they scored in the low 90's, but the games when they scored in the 80's they lost.

[SA Gunslinger]

This is something new.

I guess that's my point.

[DazedAndConfused]

Someone pointed out earlier that the Celtics failed to take advantage of Shaq's biggest weakness on defense, defending the P&R. The Lakers ran that play to death and had great success with it.

[Nashfan]

we got a W didn't we?

Yeah but barely, lol :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol

Seriously, Boston's 16-0 record was against a different conference.

[Nashfan]

Guess that's a yes...horrible basketball...convinced that both these teams are pretenders :elephant

And u think the Mavericks are such a great team, lol :blah

[Nashfan]

I hate the flopping in this game....but the Suns are playing tough D.......


Hey ur team has one of the biggest floppers of all time. Derik Fisher, lol :lol

[Agloco]

Shitty performance from Allen and Pierce.

They do this a lot in big games no? Doesn't bode well for Beantown.

[td4mvp21]

The Suns played a good frontcourt last night and outrebounded them. I'd like to see how they rebound against a healthy Lakers frontcourt, a Spurs frontcourt (with Thomas), a Nuggets frontcourt, and a Pistons frontcourt.

[Nash2Amare]

All I know is Amare's game has improved by leaps and bounds. He is active even on defense in a way I haven't seen all year.
The Shaq effect

His childhood idol is here..now he's trying to show him he's a monster, I love it

[LakeShow]

?
after all yall have been through....
oh,wait i get it. the shaq thing.
still thats borderline strange

Maybe it's strange to you, but it is the equivalent of playing a family member or close friend. Of course I want the lakers to win and I think they would but I would want to see Shaq do well. I feel the same about Horry when he was traded and Fisher(when he was not with the lakers). I have much love for those guys so hate has gone out the window for me. Losing to Shaq would not bring me grief like it would with any other team in the league.

Let me ask you something, if the unthinkable happened and Duncan was traded to the lakers. As much as you hate the lakers could you actually hate them as much with Duncan?

The Suns played a good frontcourt last night and outrebounded them. I'd like to see how they rebound against a healthy Lakers frontcourt, a Spurs frontcourt (with Thomas), a Nuggets frontcourt, and a Pistons frontcourt.

Well, you can see how they rebound against the Pistons' frontcourt tomorrow at 2:30 pm ET on ABC.
