    Yep, it was 2003. Rudy was sick and that crappy assistant coach who I don't remember his name now was in charge. Yao didn't start that game. Because Suns was in playoffs, Amare instead of Yao got that years ROY.

    Not at all. He just dribbles and either passes it off at the very last second or takes a contested jumper which misses. He's been doing it a lot lately.

    Lowry is our most clutch player, I would rather him dribble out 23 seconds and throw up a 30ft shot than having to rely on Martin/Lee to score at the end of the quarter.

    As well as Dragic played, He cost us at least 6 points while he was in there, he missed 2 free-throws, and took the ball to the rim rather than dish the ball off for lay-ups one to Lee, and one in particular to Budinger

    I guess he is still learning the Rockets system

    WTF were you watching the game, he was blocking and altering shots, he was having a defensive impact in the game. Just b/c he misses one lay up he sucks? ... members of clutchfans are unbelievable...

    NO. When there's about 7-8 seconds left, all he does is "act like he's going to drive", get himself into trouble, turn into 1-2 people and take an ill-advised 3. He doesnt pass it or penetrate, so we always end up taking a really awful 3 to end the quarter. Yes, it was great that on the previous play he hit a 3 and gave us a 4-pt lead, im not talking about anything besides the final possession of the quarter. If he is in, he does the above play over and over for the last week or so.

    I thought the Rockets played terribly in the first half, and they're still up by 2.

    Good sign, or bad sign?

    what, because I have a different opinion im unbelievable? okay so tell me, he misses open shots, misses his FTs, and doesnt take advantage of position and height so he can rebound. Oh, and also... was it him that literally DUCKED out the way on one of Warricks penetrating dunks? YUP! what game were YOU watching? The man literally ran down the lane for a dunk, and instead of trying to get good position or challenge, Hill moved INTO the lane AWAY from the basket and ducked his head.

    Sorry, he may have done 1-2 good things, but that doesnt make up for all his other stupid mistakes. Wake up before you criticize others for not paying attention.

    lowry this year reminds me of AB last yr alittle just this game. hitting all the threes but making tiny errors like throwing it out and last second play. I wonder what caused him to shoot more. The guy would never shoot the ball, besides driving in.

    I'm pretty sure everyone on the team ducked out of Hakim Warrick's way at one point in the game...

    Nobody has challenged anything he's done in this game.

    bad, phoenix played worse. on average they've been getting 50+ points from the bench since the trade, pietrus , frye, and brook's playing like an emotional girl out there has a lot to do with it.

    Nash is a vet though, don't count on him being the same. He smells blood right now.

    Good sign, but the Suns shot almost no threes and made one going into the break. Steven Nash is 1/2 and capable of making shots whenever he feels like it. Hakim Warrick doesn't look like he's going to stop dunking anytime soon, and the loss of Pietrus probably puts some added pressure on other subs to make their time worthwhile. Aaron Brooks is capable of lighting up anytime.

    I thought that the suns played terrible in the 1st (don't know if that was due to rocket defense) and they are only down by 2.
