MISTAKE

Yes it's been way to many years since we had one. It's actually kind of sad.
Oh well I still remember Magic.
Marion has showed up!
haha, they are wearing those summer global jerseys with the little flags...sorry, it's been bugging me all game to figure it out
But it will definitely help. Kobe at this stage in his career shouldn't be asked to play PG. The Lakers desperately need one.
Very good comeback from Phoenix. It's a good game now.
bulls are horrible....no offensive game plan...just throw up bricks. Not going to beat the Suns playing their style
Hopefully they keep it up in the 4th.
Like I said the Bulls tend to go through droughts were they can't score.
on a sidenote (because it was just a commercial on this channel) i love that new jumpman23 commercial...that piece is one of my favorite musical pieces and it goes well with the commercial
I'm not sure how the Suns are winning this game, but they are. They looked absolutely dismal in the first 30 minutes of this game. They suddenly found a spark on both ends of the floor and erased a 14-point lead.
On a "sidenote" what are you wearing?
This will be the second straight game the Suns have battled back from double-digit deficits, only to blow the lead lead in the third and early fourth. They just dig themselves into too big a hole early, expend too much energy catching up quickly, then have no legs left for the fourth.
This game is over! Thanks Chicago for your help!!
Wow... it's a mirror image. They used up all they had in the six minute it took to erase 30 minutes of errors and build a near double-digit lead late in the third, only to have nothing left for the final period of the game.
i don't think this is the problem, they have some of the most impressive legs in the league...i thought they were going to fold the next night (btb) after that ridiculous game against the nets and they didn't...also, they constantly run up the score anyway the entire game so it's not like they are expending any more energy than they already do...i think it's mostly that nash is out and now with diaw (although he was horrible the last game), it's just a tad bit too much for the remaining guys. i can't believe he didn't even play jalen rose at least a couple of more minutes, especially because rose used to be a bull and sometimes guys get up for a game against their old team
Who's that in the rear view mirror? Well, it was the Suns, but now they're 3 games back so I can't even see them anymore.
don't take this as a diss suns fans, but you guys better hope nash's back gets well soon but more importantly, stays well! i wonder if he does acupuncture, it will do wonders for muscle problems
I'm sure Suns fans will cry about how Nash didn't play...but the Suns have gotten to play EVERYONE when they were without their best players. They've had the luckiest schedule of anyone in the NBA.
Well, having watched all four (well, 3-1/2) sans-Nash games, I can tell you it is the problem. Sure, these guys have great stamina, but when you're missing two and three players of your eight-man rotation, then the minutes get added to players who've, A. either played tons already or B. aren't used to playing more than 10-20 minutes per. Of course the problem is Nash's absense, as each player is asked do play more and do more with him gone.
It's a direct extension of the shots not coming as easy, them having to work longer and harder on offense while maintaining their effort on defense and the boards, which is difficult when your legs are tired.
No excuses, though. I'm not saying this to be an excuse. Chicago took it to the Suns for 40 of the 48 minutes. They won. Suns played hard until they were worn to the nubs.
And yes, why Rose isn't playing more is beyond me. He is a slasher who can generate some offense and make life a little easier and yet he just sits there night after night.
Keep winning, Chicago. That draft pick will come to San Antonio.
In fact, you're the only one who's even brought it up.
Play who ya got, beat who ya play.
Suns have had their chances without Nash and have won two and lost two.
Sucks. I'll take playoff health over a few February wins. I'll sit Nash and Diaw out for as long as it's necessary. I wouldn't play either until after the All-Star break.
Yeah, I don't believe in excuses because like Mulvany noted, the Suns have played plenty of games against teams without their stars and Nocioni/PJ Brown didn't play but I do think D'Antoni should start thinking about giving guys like Rose a couple of more minutes NOW rather than waiting until the playoffs when he *might* need them. Then again, he might not need them, but it's better to at least get them in the rotation now and not leave things like that to chance. What's the status of Kurt Thomas, any timetable for his return?
Exactly they were right there with the lead but Bell was missing tonight. Plus those turnovers on those inbound passes really hurt. I take a few losses if it means a healthy Nash and Diaw.
