It's halftime in Phoenix and the Suns have a six point lead! :D

Go Suns!!!

I live in Phoenix too, but don't follow the Suns as much anymore. They're not the team that I learned to love.

I don't live in Phoenix, but I learned to love the Suns! :D

EDIT: But they're not as awesome since Mike D'Antoni left. I liked the fast-paced brand of basketball he brought.

Did anybody just see Shaq's 3 consecutive offensive rebounds, then his dunk? AWESOMESAUCE!

[nashphx13z]

Hack-a-Shaq 3 times in a row? Really, Spurs? Lame. At least he's 5 for 6 on hack-a-Shaqs. :p

Probably because you live in Minnesota and, aside from KG, there hasn't been a lot to love about the Timberpuppies. ;)

Not much to love at all. Take Kevin Love, for example.

Well, the Suns lost to the Spurs because of a lucky final-second three pointer, and the Celtics were stripped of their 19-game win streak by the Lakers.

Nooo, Suns! :(

I was going to make an NBA discussion thread pretty soon, I was thinking about it tonight.

I went to the Magic game today, it was AMAZING. 30 point lead at halftime, and nobody stood out, it was just a total team effort. Magic are definitely the third best team in the NBA. I'd have to rank them as such:

Celtics
Lakers
Magic
Cavs
Hornets

Ask me my opinion on something if you have any questions on things around the league

Nash, how's Grant Hill doing? Last time the Suns came to town, everybody here in Orlando booed him everytime he got the ball, and during the national anthem, somebody yelled 'Hill you suck!' He DID take 93million away from us, but I thought it was a little harsh...

Have you heard the rumored Hill-Redick trade though? I don't approve of it at all, even though I'd actually want Redick out of here (everyone here loves him for some odd reason, but he's never done anything actually good for this team)

GO MAGIC!!!!

Guess I beat you to it! :p

Grant Hill did very well against the Spurs today, despite the loss. He had 16 points, shooting 7 for 11 from the floor. He moved the ball well and did his job. It's nice to see some seasoned veterans still making things work out on the basketball court.

I have heard about the Hill-Redick trade and I really hope it doesn't go through. TBH, I really think that Redick wouldn't really "fit in" with the Suns, for lack of a better term. Sure, he's a young sharp-shooter, and Hill is getting old, but I think it would offset the balance of veterans to young players. Leandro Barbosa still needs the mentoring from Steve Nash and Raja Bell still needs the tutoring from Grant Hill. I just don't see what Redick could do for the Suns.

I never liked the Shaq-Marion trade. Shaq is old and his knees SUCK! Marion had a strange looking shot, but it went in (hehe it's kinda like mine). He could make things happen. He just had that energy about him that carried over with the rest of the team. Although I liked Shaq's power in the game today (*references his fifth post in the thread*), I think that Marion would have more to offer for a longer period of time. The Suns also never should've let D'Antoni go, but that's beside the point.

Did I answer your question? :p
