Barkley and Kenny Smith saying how Dragic shoulda been an all star...funny I heard neither of them say a word about him leading up to he All-star game, only Grant Hill had him on the team.

You're senses must be finely attuned.

I like your subtleness.

I'm on record with wanting to move them, but if they are to be retained, I think that's about the neighborhood of fair compensation for them, as well as being a decent deal for the Suns. I'd probably want Kieff's deal to max out at $5.75 million.

No kidding. Celebrating after every play. What a douche. So glad that smile got wiped off his face as the game ended.

You missed out BIG TIME if true.

TheOriginalOriginal wrote:What fun game. Beat OKC, Indy 2x, PDX 2x. We good.

I've really enjoyed a lot of games this season but probably none more than that one. That was fun. It was crazy when we went down 16 in the third quarter and then came storming back. OKC didn't know what hit them.

No lie.

What a bag of no class bitches - especially Westbrook.

I didn't realize how much of a punk ass Westchimp was till after this game.

You and me both. I had no idea he was so out of control.

Westbrook and OKC came out intensely and tried to send a message to the Suns but the Suns hung in there and continued to fight back until they prevailed. See ya in the first round, bastards.

I think he's gotten stronger as the year has went on and a lot of that is you can see his confidence level is sky high, because he knows Hornecek isn't going to yank him for taking a bad shot. It will be very interesting to see how he will adjust from getting almost a guaranteed 30mins+ per night once Bledsoe comes back. I hope he doesn't press knowing his mins will be more limited

We wouldn't have won this game without Green's "crazy" shot selection. That contested three at top of the arc was ridiculous.

That's right. Bandwagonners.

Lets take up the mantle for Seattle Fans. CRUSH THE THUNDER.

Gerald. FUCKING. Green!

That's what I like about these guys ... there's no quit in this group.
Another solid contribution by M2, especially 'Kief.

Green, the Morrii and Goran combined for almost 90 freaking points. Impressive, absolutely amazing win.

The defense is still missing but everybody contributed big time (even Len, beyond the fouls), and the rebounding was there tonigh, on both ends. Again, make the damn FTs.

Besides Green's absurd makes, I went nuts when PJ hit the 3pt to give us the lead and with Ish and Goran's reverse layups. The lob from Marcus to Kieff was a display of some serious guts and confidence. There was another key play where their connection saved our asses, with Kieff finding Marcus for a three.

Damn was that a fun game! Gerald Green was absolutely insane. One of the great things about this season has been seeing how this team has come together so far. You can really tell each person on this team has each other’s back and would drive through a wall for their coach as well. That sort of chemistry is very refreshing to see and makes this team all the more fun to watch and root for.

I picked this game up early in the 4th quarter, and I'm kicking myself for not getting it on sooner. I wasn't excited about this game because I had it pegged for a loss, so I decided to get some work done instead while the game was going on. I should have known, never put real life responsibilities ahead of this Suns squad.

The biggest takeaway for me wasn't the play of the Suns, who have proven that they can get up for big games (2x Pacers, blowout of the Spurs, blowout of the Clippers, competitive games against the Rockets/Warriors, etc.). What stuck out to me was the volume of the crowd, which seemed louder than any crowd I've seen since the 2010 playoffs. When Dragic drove in for the And-1 late in the 4th, I thought the place was going to explode. It took some time, but Phoenix is finally getting back to its rightful place as a Suns town. Sorry Cardinals, sorry DBacks, we were here first.

These Suns are funny. No team is too good for them to beat and no team is too bad for them to loose to. They seem to play up to or down to whoever they are playing. Something the team will learn how to correct the more experience they have (on the playing down to other teams part).
I can truly say that other teams would rather play someone other than Phoenix in the playoffs if we're lucky enough to make it.
