I'll be honest, I was more geared up for the first 2 games against the Mavs than I am for this one. Maybe it's because I've mellowed out recently, or maybe it's because the Suns wouldn't close that much of a gap for the best record in the West with a victory (would cut it down to 2.5 games?)
baby steps....
This is the game I've been looking forward to since last night around 11PM when I arose out of the bathroom fresh from puking in the toilet after watching Nelson hand my team a butt whipping of epic proportion.
I'm ready for it. It's the first game in awhile that I'm mildly excited about going to.
Before last night's victory against Houston, I would have said the Mavericks were going to win handily. But the Suns looked awesome last night, and I think they'll bring their A-game against Dallas tomorrow.
Barbosa with another big night.
Harris is quick enough to hang with him.
If the last two Dallas-Phoenix games are any indication, I'd say Barbosa doesn't really have a huge problem with Harris. 15-26 shooting in both games, 6-10 on 3FG. And Barbosa's only gotten better. I guess we'll see.
I might be opening a can of worms here, but no one in the league is as fast as Barbosa. No one.
If I'm the Mavs I force Nash to score 40+ to win...don't switch off the picks and make Nash shoot. Stay on the 3 point shooters....
Harris is actually faster.
It worked in the playoffs two years ago when Nash scored 48 points and the Suns lost. They eliminated the effect of Stoudemire and guarded the shooters, and the Suns were certainly less efficient offensively.
The reason the Suns lost that game, though, was because they played poorly on the defensive end. Allowed the Mavs to shoot 55%.
4 OTs, minimum.
I'll be loving it in the lower bowl tomorrow night. Should be a blast.
Lucky dog!
I don't expect the Suns to be easy, they could even win, but they will have to be VERY HOT, 55-60% for the entire game, even better in crunch time, but the real tale will be how/if the Mavs bounce back.
I think the Suns will win, since they already lost 2 to Dallas.
No, they'll need to be active on the glass like they were against Houston last night.
And I think if the game went to 4 OT's, it would pretty much be the greatest game in history. That would be ing awesome.
I've seen 3 ESPN guys pick Barbosa over Harris... I guess you got your data from those private workouts you held at Reunion Arena
I've seen them play plenty times. Harris is a blur. One time the camera had trouble keeping up with Harris. Harris is unfortunately one dimensional as he relies too much on his speed.
Nevermind the talking heads, let TMac weigh in on the debate...
Presumably, TMac has played against Harris once or twice.Said Houston star Tracy McGrady: "Barbosa kicked our butts tonight. I've never seen anybody as fast as this kid."
747 and his factual quotes have added a great deal to the debate. We'll never actually know, so it's great debate fodder, but too many players have mentioned Barbosa's speed of late. It's game-changing, if not breaking, speed. You can't guard it. If his jumper is falling, there's nothing you can do but watch. Case and point, last night.
On the subject of Barbosa.... last year during the CF's Avery said that Barbs was the only player faster than Harris.
I don't have a link, though I certainly wish I did. But it was during that 6 game stretch...
Hey, Xylus, I sent you a PM. Just in case you don't know. Would love a response. Thanks.
Yeah - I remember that camera incident... probably a combination of a lot of factors: Harris's speed, inept camera work, and shock that he took off like that since the Mavs have been slowing the pace down from the Nellie days.
even if your right, (probly not) it doesnt matter. they wont give Barbosa the ball to go 1on1. mostly Nash does all the work and finds open shooters
