Warriors @ Suns Game Blog...

[TampaDude]

Are you all ready for 230+ combined points again???

Golden State and Phoenix - Where no defense happens. :lol

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Warriors 145
Suns 149
3OT

[DazedAndConfused]

I've decided to watch some POS movie called Windchill on Starz over this incredibly boring Cavs-Wizards game.

[kingsfan]

Should be a good game. I wouldn't be surprised if someone scored 150. Whose big snack going to land on tonight? :lol
Go Warriors!

[Xylus]

I'm worried how Shaq will match up with the speedy Warriors. They might smallball us to death, or our frontline will control the boards. Not sure how this one's going to go...


118 Suns
106 Warriors

[bdictjames]

Either way, the Spurs benefit from this matchup. It makes making the playoffs more possible.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

go suns :clap

[Xylus]

Bad start...

[dirk4mvp]

this is fun to watch.

[dieman8686]

Lol @ Don, brings back memories

[DazedAndConfused]

Good god Shaq is terrible on offense. It's sad to see how far he has fallen over the years.

[ShoogarBear]

Nash wasn't close to being set, WTF is he whining about?

[kingsfan]

Suns getting T'ed up

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Nash wasn't close to being set, WTF is he whining about?


seriously, he was stepping INTO davis

[Kriz-Maxima]

seriously, he was stepping INTO davis

sideways

[rcs15]

Suns going for the most T's in one game record.

[DazedAndConfused]

They really need to stop allowing players who are not even in the play to come over and take the charge.

[TampaDude]

At the half...

Warriors 62

Suns 57

[ShoogarBear]

Suns are the new Mavs for Golden State.

[crc21209]

Suns just took a 3 pt. lead, but i still think they lose this game. Baron Davis is fucking Steve Nash up. Steve Nash's D sucks.

[TampaDude]

Shaq is gonna foul out...

[TampaDude]

Shaq with #5...and a T! :lol

[Roxsfan]

that was a pansy call on shaq.

[crc21209]

lol lets go warriors

[kingsfan]

This game is fun, who needs defense? :lol

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Barons beard has living things in it :lol

[TampaDude]

Bullshit...there was no continuation on Amare's shot...

[kingsfan]

Sactown's finest checks in.

[crc21209]

Bullshit...there was no continuation on Amare's shot...

lol I agree, theyre just sucking them off, they are at home. lol

[Vinnie_Johnson]

G-State just jacking up crap shots :depressed

[kingsfan]

Come on Warriors!

[TampaDude]

The Suns are just shooting some shots...

[crc21209]

Fuck GS jacking up stupid shots leads to this crap ass 93-79 Phx lead, cmon GS.

[crc21209]

Phx is getting some calls here at home. Oh well, but a 12-14 pt lead isnt shit for either of these teams with their crap ass defenses. I predict a close game in the 4th still

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Come on GS Kick some fuckin Ass :fro

[rcs15]

The refs are giving in to Phoenix's non stop bitching

[crc21209]

The refs are giving in to Phoenix's non stop bitching

So you noticed too huh? lol

[majinkoola]

Yeah, the refs are really giving in by calling 4 technicals on them. :rolleyes

[crc21209]

lol not those calls, nobody told them to bitch like babies

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Craig :dramaquee Nice Blazzer

[majinkoola]

That's funny, coming from a Spurs fan. Popovich, Duncan, and Bowen bitch every single play. The refs just don't call technicals on them.

[Xylus]

Man, these Warriors can hit 3-pointers with their eyes closed

[crc21209]

That's funny, coming from a Spurs fan. Popovich, Duncan, and Bowen bitch every single play. The refs just don't call technicals on them.

lol oh yes I'm sure Pop bitches as much as Hitler D'Antoni jumping around all over the place.

[dirk4mvp]

Man, these Warriors can hit 3-pointers with their eyes closed


You get used to it.

[RonMexico]

lol oh yes I'm sure Pop bitches as much as Hitler D'Antoni jumping around all over the place.

The same Pop who got thrown out in the first half against a mediocre opponent (Indiana), yes.

Oh and I think Baron is on HGH... I don't believe he has stayed healthy all year through natural methods.

[mikejones99]

aye

[TampaDude]

To the Warriors, a 14-point deficit is like a 4-point deficit to most other teams... :lol

[Xylus]

The Suns are playing good defense--the Warriors are only shooting 41.8% FG. But the Suns can't hold on to the ball, keep turning it over, and the Warriors have about 20 points scored off of TO's.

[crc21209]

The same Pop who got thrown out in the first half against a mediocre opponent (Indiana), yes.

Sometimes you gotta fire up the troops, not EVERY call of EVERY game.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

6 Point game :elephant

[Amuseddaysleeper]

why the fuck is croshere even on the floor? he blows

[Amuseddaysleeper]

You get used to it.

:lol

[crc21209]

Damn i hate when refs call bullshit calls when 2 fucking players are going at the ball at the same time like right know when Hill and Croshere were going for it Croshere got called for the foul of course and now Nash hits a 3, turnaround of the game folks

[Vinnie_Johnson]

why the fuck is croshere even on the floor? he blows

Good Point :toast

[TampaDude]

They should just let Nash and Davis have a game of HORSE to decide the win. :lol

[Xylus]

They should just let Nash and Davis have a game of HORSE to decide the win. :lol
I don't think there's anything more entertaining then a battle of point guards.

[TampaDude]

I want the Warriors to win this game, but I think PHX has the edge now and will win.

[TDfan2007]

GS pushed the self-destruct button in the 3rd quarter.

[TDfan2007]

I want the Warriors to win this game, but I think PHX has the edge now and will win.

agreed. But damn is Steve Nash not the best rhythm shooter you've ever seen?

btw GS is pissing the game away at the line.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

amazing how the highest scoring team in the league can't hit FT's worth shit


It must be annoying to be a warriors fan sometimes

[Amuseddaysleeper]

azubuke looks like he's 12

[TDfan2007]

it really is fun watching these teams play

[RonMexico]

why the fuck is croshere even on the floor? he blows

He was in there earlier to take beatings from Shaq and draw offensive fouls. Why he's in there now is anyone's guess.

[dirk4mvp]

amazing how the highest scoring team in the league can't hit FT's worth shit

It's pretty annoying watching those little pissants sometimes. They can hit 3's while doing backflips on a unicycle but can't hit layups any better than a 10 year old girls rec league team.

[TampaDude]

agreed. But damn is Steve Nash not the best rhythm shooter you've ever seen?

Nash is a fucking machine...he's a lock for the HOF, ring or no ring... :toast

[Amuseddaysleeper]

lol dirk4mvp

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

whoever loses tonight will miss the playoffs :smokin

[kingsfan]

It's only an 8 pt. game GS can make that up in seconds. They love that coming from behind shit.
I'm 2-2 tonight, let's go for 3-3.

[TDfan2007]

man...Davis and the Suns team can't miss.

[Brutalis]

Suns pushing in the lane every offensive possession.

[TDfan2007]

that miss by Jackson just did them in.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

i love Sjax. You can always count him to break the rhythm of the warriors with his chucking :lol

[kingsfan]

:lol @ Biedrins face-please Amare don't hurt me :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

thats game

[crc21209]

Sometimes I think he cant do anything but dunk lol

[ludda]

Suns won, but Baron Davis is a fucking beast. He couldn't carry his piss poor teammates tonight, but the guy is really an amazing player. Creates for himself, creates for others. Not like Uhmare who is fed buckets by Nash.

Suns did well tho...without Snaq.

[crc21209]

Not like Uhmare who is fed buckets by Nash.

Exactly. I dunno about him hes not really developing he could be a big low post threat with low post moves but just dunks and occassional jump shots here and there but not automatic.

[ludda]

well its not really fair to compare a pg with a forward, but in general, Davis is just an all-around beast, much more so than Uhmare's chest pumps after easy dunks.

[Xylus]

Woohoo! 3-game winning streak: Solid win over the defending champs, a blowout over the lowly Grizzlies, and a great game against the blazing fast Warriors.

Dare I say that this team is starting to click?

Yeah, Baron Davis is one of my favorite players in the NBA...he does it all...you gotta respect his game...

Yeah...PHX seemed to do better without Snaq in there...

[Xylus]

His jump shot is as automatic as Boozer's, and with an even sweeter form. Anyone who thinks Amare is all dunks can shut the fuck up. Most of his points were created off the dribble tonight, and he's an 80% FT shooter.

You're all a bunch of haters.

[TampaDude]

Yeah, you guys are looking good...see you all in the playoffs...I hope... :lol

Suns might find a formula for playing small and big now.
But all playoff contenders have to protect home court most of the time.

[RonMexico]

Yeah, you guys are looking good...see you all in the playoffs...I hope... :lol

If it sticks the way it is, then see you first round.

I do not want to meet the Warriors first round.

Riiiiiight.

[ApolloCreed]

Stoudemire is a badass.

[crc21209]

3 cupcakes then this tough stretch for Phx:

Sat, Mar 22 Houston
Mon, Mar 24 @ Detroit
Wed, Mar 26 @ Boston

then 2 semi-easy games and another tough stretch:

Mon, Mar 31 Denver
Tue, Apr 1 @ Denver
Sun, Apr 6 Dallas

[SpursDynasty]

There's something about the way Phoenix wins that is thoroughly un-convincing.

It's just a matter of do their opponents miss their shots or not. GSW had a ton of good looks at the basket that they usually make.

That explains why Phoenix is only 43-22. Unconvincing wins.

[DazedAndConfused]

That zone that PHX threw at GSW completely took them out of their element. You force GSW to play a halfcourt game and your chances of winning go up exponentially.

[Jeremy]

Yeah...PHX seemed to do better without Snaq in there...

Actually, Shaq had a +9 tonight and we won by 8. We did well both with and without him.

[Jeremy]

That explains why Phoenix is only 43-22.

Only 43-22? You mean as in only 1 1/2 games worse than San Antonio?

[RonMexico]

Only 43-22? You mean as in only 1 1/2 games worse than San Antonio?

Golden State and other teams just make their shots against the Spurs. Fluke wins. No surprises there.

It really does amaze me that the Suns are 2 1/2 games out of first place in the Pacific Division and (as of now) the West, but a loss tonight would have tied them with Golden State in the L column.

But there will be probably 3 teams in the East in the playoffs with losing records.

Regardless, huge win for the Suns and it's good to see the swagger and energy back in the arena.

[Xylus]

Actually, Shaq had a +9 tonight and we won by 8. We did well both with and without him.
14 minutes with Shaq: +9
34 minutes without Shaq: -1

But he doesn't make any difference against the Warriors. :rolleyes I know the plus/minus stat is ineffective in short windows, but why are certain Spurs fans saying he was useless against the Warriors? He played so little because he was in foul trouble, not because the Warriors ran him out of the building.

[endrity]

Great game. I enjoyed every second.

I still don't get it why the NBA doesn't market these kind of games more, but they market LeBron and Wade like crazy.

I am not a casual fan, but if I were I wouldn't think watching shitty teams with one guy that takes contested shot after contested shot would be that much fun.

Almost ever game in the West is soooo much more pleasing, casual fan or purist. Even the Spurs, for all their rep, can be amazing at times to watch with Ginobili and Parker.

They reall have to change how they market the game I think. They are still stuck with the Bird, Magic, Jordan template. They forget that those guys also played in historically good teams.

[BillsCarnage]

14 minutes with Shaq: +9
34 minutes without Shaq: -1


The minus was even worse before the Suns went on that run in the 3rd after Shaq got his 5th foul.

[RonMexico]

Yeah, this bitter idiot probably posts on this message board:

[BillsCarnage]

First line of the article.

I’ll try to make this quick
Followed by a long brain dump... funny

[RonMexico]

I've read articles from this guy 3 times... all of them bash the Suns, Shaq, Amare or a combination of the 3.

He even bashed Marion's defense on Baron earlier this year.
