[ShoogarBear]

So true. This is a tough game to scribe due to lots of early offense and turnovers. The worst kind along with any PHX game.

Horry turned inexplicably to cover the one without the ball and Stevenson had a full head of steam and hormones showing.

Of course, I wasn't criticizing you, D. But I was yelling at Horry for a good 30 seconds after that play.
