    We should have fouled instead of letting Hunter dunk.

    Couldn't get in the forum tonight until now, what I saw tonight was a complete bastardized job by the freaking refs on Yao. Man, how I wish for once Yao would cursed them out and get tossed, no use playing when they blind fold you and tie your hands behind your back. Our guards has got to do a better job at feeding Yao, it seems to me Barry is the only one who consistently looking for Yao, Wesley is avoiding Yao like a plague, eventhough DWes is bricking them left and right!

    Winning against the Suns feels even better then a win against
    the Spurs. I will love to see the Rox play against them in the playoffs. Hoooahhh.... I'm feeling good right now. :D

    To Bobby's credit, on both those 24 sec violations, T-Mac dished him the rock with like 4 secs on the shotclock. Not much you can do in that situation. Also, from what I remember, he was dishing the ball well... I remember him penetrating baseline then dishing to a wide open Wesley for a crucial three pointer.
    As an aside, whats up with Nash and his flops?? That one play where Yao picked up his fifth, Nash just drove in past Yao and decides to fall down after he passes him and gets the call. Tacky....

    It was annoying as hell !:mad: :mad:

    When the Rox were starting to make their run, he made sure to say (over and over) that the Suns played yesterday so "they must be tired."

    Said he would have picked Amare over Yao during the draft with what he knows now.

    Said Amare was the 2nd best center in the league 2 feet from the basket.:confused:

    He said a couple of times that he never gets sick of watching the Suns play since he likes their style so much...:rolleyes:

    It went on and on and on and on....:mad: :mad:

    the key to winning games for our team is our guard play. we need them to hit there shots! if they dont score we lose. also when we play like we did in the third quarter we can beat anyone. the rockets were all over the place even out running the suns.we need to run and be that quick all the time.

    "remember folks, a 15 point lead is nothing against the Suns"

    Heard that like 102812390812049832 times i was STFU *******.

    "I'm expecting Q to explode right about now he's missed all his shots but he can start banging 3s with 4 minutes left in the game"

    Yeah you bet. The only thing that exploded was you when you saw the suns players

    T-Mac + Deke = heart/guts/toughness/determination

    I would add Sura there too, except that by toughness it doesn't mean JUST physical toughness, it more importantly means "mental" toughness, and the ability to use your emotions to your advantage as a positive, which I think he does some times, but not on consistent basis.

    Now that we clinched the playoffs, I REALLY don't give a crap about whom we play, T-MAC MUST REST! THE GOAL IS TO WIN IN THE PLAYOFFS AND HAVE YOUR BEST PLAYERS HEALTHY.

    I am sorry, but if the Rox have ANY chance whatsoever in the playoffs, they MUST have a healthy McGrady, and T-MAc ain't even 70% out there. It makes it hard to enjoy wins, because you know the price you are paying as far as McGrady's health is concerned.

    But yah well, JVG is a hard-headed guy and he apparently doesn't believe in "minutes" causing fatigue to players :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Anyways, that is just my personal opinion

    When Wesley scores..we win..

    When Tmac scores more than 30..we're 20-4.

    Jon Barry is just amazing.
    James more inconsistent but when he's good..he's good.
    Sura the brother can't shoot but he's tough and rebounds..I think we should play James a little bit more though.

    Ryan Bowen's an all around utility player just gotta love him and Mutombo.

    Anyone have the link to the Pheonix Suns board--I'm curious to how they're reacting to that "dunk" at the end of the game...:D :D :D

    I totally agree. We need to allow Tmac to rest and recover..regain his leg strength 100% maybe and get ready to LIFT OFF for playoffs. I love the old intro music btw..the liftoff thing

    yes sura choked today but comon yall we win as a team we lose as a team. i think the things he did in the third quarter were very impressive and helped us have the cushion we had. i would understand the criticism more so if it was yao or tmac choking but sura is a role player who playes extrememly hard all the time and gives the team intangibles that they dont get from any other player

    I don't really blame sura for the 2 near 24 second violations. I consider it Tmac's fault. Tmac dribbled the clock down, and then failed to create anything. He got doubled, but his hesitation helped the Suns D recover, and suddenly Sura finds the ball in his hands with 3 seconds on the clock.

    Tmac needs to try to penetrate deeper so that he ensures a decent look at the basket for a teammate. And if he can't do that, then at least try to make his move earlier so we dont run out of time. We got a horrible shot after not one, but two timeouts.

    Another problem i had with those 2 plays is Yao's lack of involvement. It's safe to say that any of us would rather have Yao pick and pop for a jumper instead of Sura forcing something with no time on the clock. Yao just sets the pick, and turns away from the ball. He should be ready to catch it, and expect to get it. I think JVG should use that aspect of Yao's game more.

    Miracle to win the game the way we played down the stretch, but i'll take it, considering the few times teams have beaten us with miracle plays.

    Yeah we're a team. Everyone contributes to the win. But we need consistency and like excellence if we want to win all the way. I don't know we really don't have a power forward..but we'll see..BE BIG lol believe
