they *should* win this game, it's the hawks!!!! that is, unless josh childress and ex-suns joe johnson step it up and play ball...looking at the boxscore, i don't see how the hawks are winning (except, amare is 1-8!) but whatever
Nash misses second game with sore shoulder
February 9, 2007
PHOENIX (AP) -- All-Star Steve Nash sat out the Suns' game against Atlanta because of a sore right shoulder.
It was the second game in a row that the league's two-time defending MVP was sidelined. He missed Tuesday's overtime victory at Portland and sat out the second half of Monday's win at Denver.

Nash felt better Friday but decided not to play.
"It's still sore," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "If it improves as much from now until Sunday as it did from yesterday to today, then he will play Sunday."
The Suns are home against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.

This game is a "should" win Nash or no Nash. But anything can happen.
haha, it looks like the suns have stepped it up in the third like they often do against lesser teams
soft ass . pau is a 10 times better pg than steve "got the mvp cuz im white" nash
Gasol is a power forward not a point guard.
Hawks leading by 5 with 4.47 left.![]()
well, like i said, unless josh childress and joe johnson step it up...but of course, so has josh smith...damn, that layup by amare was weak, no wonder it was blocked by smith
If Atlanta wins this game expect Nash to be 3 time MVP.
Apathetic play by Diaw and, to lesser extents, Marion and Bell has really hurt the Suns tonight. Amare was terrible in the first half, but has played very well in the second half (save for that limp dunk attempt baseline that was blocked), Banks has stepped up and Barbosa has hit every big shot he's taken. Unfortunately they ran into a team hungry and ready to play physical, swarming defense that forced turnovers and took the Suns out of their style for large parts of the game.
Well chalk it up to them not getting up for the Hawks. Hopefully they can bounce back against Chicago on Sunday.
They had enough to win, but didn't. Barbosa, Banks and Amare gave them enough, but, as evidensed by that last scramble off a missed FT, Atlanta was willing to poke, prod, dive and all together sacrifice themselves for every loose ball, every rebound and it gave them the win.
Atlanta won this game. They overcame an 11-point, second-half deficit with grit and guts and deserve this win more than the Suns.
god, this is the never-ending game!!! enough, just end it already!!!
Those last two minutes were an hour of my life I'll never get back![]()
Suns played horrible tonight!!![]()
I'm just glad Joe Johnson isn't on the Suns anymore. If they still had him, they'd be going after the 72-10 mark.
Oh and don't even think what would have happened if the Suns would have just kept Luol Deng.
Diaw has a stiff back. You could see him hurt it more in the game.
Bell was the only one playing D; JoJo was 10/25. Had the everyone else played D like that they would have likely won.
C'mon, allowing 51% shooting, 71pts in the second half and 120pts to a team that avgs 91???
The Suns played like crap, plain and simple. They played like crap in Portland but got lucky in OT. They've lost that mental edge they had against the Spurs, but maybe that's because players like Banks, Burke don't have it.
They just stunk up the joint tonight.
Don't remind me.![]()
By the way, great game tonight Maverick fans.You really took it to Houston. To bad I did not get to watch it since I was watching the Suns screw up royally.

meh...Houston played crappy today...couldn't buy a shot.
thanks...you should get league pass AND tivo, fast forward through timeouts, commercials, free throws and watch several games in the time that it takes to watch 1-2 games
uh, the rockets only made 10 FGs the entire 2nd and 3rd quarters...dirk went to the line for a whopping two free throws, what's your point with regards to the free throws? maybe you should look at a relevant stat like rebounds and turnovers
