Nash-Mania

The late-early game, and the lone game on the schedule for yesterday was game the second of the Suns-Spurs series. The Suns put up 110 points again, even though the Spurs came out with an energized look in the first and jumped out to an early lead. A Suns team that makes its threes is hard to beat though...

Remember when Channing Frye was getting all the buzz for most improved player? When Portland's bigs went down and Frye made them look like idiots for giving up on an Aldridge/Frye duo? Well apparently he does, because he poured in 15, 5-6 from treyland. The Suns were held to under 20 in the first quarter largely because of a rare Richard Jefferson sighting (18 points, 10 boards!). However, the only Spurs starter to finish the game with a positive +/- was McDyess, and if it was 8 years ago that'd be great...but as is the case with the Spurs, age is the enemy.

Coach Pop summer it up the best, "They always hit threes, and when they hit open ones it's OK. When they hit the contested shots, they're really hard to beat." Yesterday, they hit everything but Steve Nash on the scorers table. Amar'e had 11 boards, and actually tracked down misses. If he did that every night, how good could the Suns be? He only had 25 this year when he should be averaging one...

Basically, it was a good game. The Suns and there politically conscious Los Suns uni's apparently amped up the crowd...because it was CRAZY in there. Taylor Griffin must be worried he's about to be deported, I mean, sent to the D-league.


Magic Hawks game beating 2 tonight. Should be fun for the first half
