Interesting stat:

The Suns' 23-3 start is the best start since the 1995-96 Bulls' 72 win season.

Good win against the Grizz tonight for our 10th straight. Next up, Toronto on Sunday. Its one of those tricky games but hopefully we'll pull it out also. We got some help from Miami as they beat Sacramento to put them another game behind us with our win.

I wont even respond to the post about Amare being overrated. If anything, he's still underrated.

I was looking over the Suns schedule and noticed that they haven't lost to a team with a sub .500 record, I'm pretty sure they're the only team that has done that. Not that I put too much stock into that fact but interesting.

Nice win again, I missed the game but read that they went on a 17-0 run to take the lead for good. I hope this little pattern of playing defense only when it's do or die time goes away. It does make the games exciting but it's a dangerous way to play.


On a side note, I'm very curious to see how the Spurs approach the Suns on Tuesday night.

Amare is for real, while there's no doubt that Nash is the reason for his much improved PPG boost, he was showing stellar improvement in his first two years. I think slapping that overrated tag on a third year player who is putting up some monster numbers is just proving you haven't watched him play.


If you pay close attention you might notice that a certain 22yr old Center...err I mean Foward with very limited low post moves, is the fourth leading scorer in the leauge all while averaging less minutes (35.9) than all but one player in the top ten scoring leaders.

Yep, sure is overrated. I'm going to email the Suns' front office with a petition to trade the bum.

look you don't understand what i mean. stat wise he great, but not very good yet, he needs to improve his post moves and then i'll argee wit u, but he reminds of a young reign man"shawn kemp".

Re: The Official ***Phoenix Suns*** Thread

We got worked tonight against a major test in San Antonio. That is what scares me about the team, we might not be able to stack up against San Antonio with the team we send out there NOW. I highly doubt the rest of the meetings this year will be like this, but this one was just nasty. It wasnt on national TV so I didnt get to see it (shame on you, TNT/ESPN/whoever!), but I saw some highlights (or lowlights, for us).

Our defense just seemed so lacking today. In a lot of the highlights I just saw the defense be non existent against Tony Parker's drives and whatnot. We need to shape it up!

Re: The Official ***Phoenix Suns*** Thread

We did get worked. I watched parts of the game, and our defense was horrible. We were actually playing really well and leading by about 10 points but than our defense just gave up. Tim Duncan pretty much made every shot he took, and Tony Parker killed us with his penetration. I don't know why, but we stopped running after the first 1 and a half quarters maybe that had to do a little with their defense.

Also we gave up too many rebounds, however this was to be expected because we are a small team, but we gave up at least 2 offensive rebounds off of free throws. That is unexceptable.

So pretty much our rebounding and defense let us down.

I didn't expect us to beat San Antonio. They are just so much better than any other team in the West, IMO. Not only do they have a terrific offense, but they play great defense.

On a good note, we did beat New Orleans and Q set a new Suns record with 9 three-pointers. I'll take 25-4!
