Wow, talking about desperation shots, Peterson last night? Shot of a lifetime there

Also a couple of amazing dunks, Ariza's facial on JO was sick. Outlaw should be in the dunk contest next year, him against Green should be a good one.

Ariza's dunk was awesome.....as was Andris Biedrins dunk last night on Amare.

So how about today's Mavs-Suns game. I'm sure alot of you watched it. I loved it. Eight guys scored 20 points or more, but nobody scored more than 30. The teams combined to shoot 45-47 from the foul line. Just a well played game, especially by the Suns. They shot 64.8% from the field, the highest percentage by any team all year, all against a great Dallas defense. Down the stretch, Phoenix did what ever the hell they wanted to on offense.

I've always been a fan of defense, especially since it was my specialty in High School (and not just in the way that people who suck at offense say its their specialty, I actually won defensive player of they year award for our league my junior and senior year). Anyways, my point is, watching the Phoenix offense is awesome. I love it. Their mindset is the polar opposite of those 90's Knicks teams and such that were so dreadful to watch. I just gotta say I friggen love the Suns' style of play.

i think getting torched for 126 & 65% puts to rest that Dallas is "D" orientated.

cant believe people base their opinions on one "bad" game

Dwight Howard is absolutely killing the Sixers. 10-10 for 26 points and 7 rebounds - along with 3 assists and 2 steals with just one turnover and 6-7 from the FT line.


... and the 3rd has just started.

EDIT: Commentator: "So the Sixers deployed the double team on Howard after he scored 26 on them in the first half on 10-10 shooting"

*Replays show Dwight Howard with 4 guys hanging off him*

EDIT2: Milicic is garbage, he tries a fadeaway left handed hook shot from behind the backboard on the baseline (wtf!?) and hits the side of the backboard, stands thier expecting a foul, then starts walking back while Philadelphia sprints back on offence

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Sixers are at .500 since THE trade Just something for me, shadow, Buckley...and whoever is a Sixers fan.

Amir Johnson is looking pretty good, even though these last few games don't count. Still, he's 2yrs from being a valuable contributor.
