Suns lose tough playoff game on the road

When was the last time Tim Duncan hit a three pointer? loss 115-117 Series 0-1 Spurs lead

To answer the question, it was 2 years ago he last hit a three point shot. The one Duncan made today hurt the most, as the Suns were poised to lock it up after the 1st OT. Then Duncan hit the 3 to send it to the second overtime. The game was still in the hands of Phoenix to win, but then it came crashing down when Ginobili hit the game winning layup. Steve Nash had a great game with 25 points and 13 assists, while the other starters did well also. Amare was the only other stand out with 33 points, along with Barbosa and Diaw pitching in a dozen a piece. Despite Phoenix's loss today, the fact that the Spurs barely got by todays game by a hair, this should make Phoenix fans still feel pretty good about the teams performance today and going into the next playoff game. Next game is Tuesday at 6:30pm pst, 9:30pm est.

Suns remain 6th seed

Suns bench contributing to win win 91-100

After the Suns realized they could not move up in the standings, D'Antoni brought out the big guns, the Suns bench. Grant Hill took the game off to rest his injury and get ready for the playoffs. Sean Marks came out and had a career game with 16 points and 13 rebounds, while other fellow bench players like Gordon Giricek put up 17 points 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Stoudemire was the only Sun starter to get in the double digits. Now the Suns will face the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs and San Antonio and all I have to say is, its payback time! The Suns are going to bring the pain this time and not receive it like last year.

Interesting position

The possibilities Tip off 7pm pst 10pm est

By winning this game the Suns can put themselves in a position to go up to the 4th seed, so I don't think the Suns are going to take this lightly. The Blazers already lost to the Suns the last 8 times they played. The Jazz have to beat the Spurs or the Clippers beat the Rockets, with the win against the Blazers to get their highest possible position for the playoffs. On a side note, the Suns have won the last 8 out of 9 games at home, imagine the possibilities.

Suns win another close one

Suns end Warriors season with win 122-116

Like as expected, this game was a high scoring and tough for both teams. The Warriors backs are against the wall and they really needed a win, but the Suns had plans of their own. The Suns were winning big at half time and in one quarter, they got outscored 38-19 in the third. Then near the end, Barbosa hit a three pointer that put the Suns up by 5 with 2:28 left in the game. Then Barbosa closed the game out by laying the ball up with :56 seconds remaining in the game putting the Suns up by 5 and after that, it was pretty much a done deal. Steve Nash was 1 rebound shy of a triple double. He ended up with 13 points 14 assists and 9 rebounds. Shaq dominated the boards with 15 and Amare did his thing like usual and scored 28. Grant Hill left the game in the second quarter due to re-injuring his groin. He is said to be fine, but was withheld from the game for precautionary reasons. Baron Davis was not a factor at all in this win, having a tough night only scoring 7 points, he went 2-13 from the field and did not play much of the second half due to Nelly putting him on the bench. Now the Warriors are officially out of the playoff race and Denver secured their spot.

Early playoff game?

Possible glimpse of whats to come Tip 7pm pst 10pm est Monday

One thing you can say for sure about these two teams is that they can score points in a hurry. All three of their meetings had scores 114 points at least or more for each team. The Warriors are still fighting for that last spot so they are going to come at the Suns very hungry. So far the Warriors have the edge with a 2-1 series lead this year. The Suns need to show a strong performance tomorrow, take it easy against Portland and get ready for the first round. The playoffs this year are going to be one of the most exciting western conference battles in recent history.

Suns lose tough one

What happend? Loss 90-101

It was just plain and simple not a good night for the Suns. They couldn't get buckets to fall, relying on Stoudemire who put up 37 points and 11 rebounds wasn't enough. The Suns shot 41 percent and turned the ball over 15 times compared to just 5 by the Rockets. Shaq ended up with 16 points and 11 rebounds, but the main problem was the other starters. Nash, Bell, Hill combined for 11 points the whole entire game. That is ridiculous, these are not the kind of games to be putting up those kinds of numbers.

Another Big Game for Suns!

Another must win for Suns Tip off 5:30pm pst 8:30est


With McGrady back in the lineup, this will be a tough game for the Suns. The problem for the Rockets is that the Suns are on a western conference cleanup spree and the Rockets are just the next victims. A win would give the Suns the tie-breaker between these two teams this year and a step closer to claiming the pacific title once again.
