Glad to see I'm not the only one enjoying this...it's like the Nets are taking turns scoring.
...and Amare looks horrible. Seriously, he looks like Webber laboring up and down the floor. This is the beginning of a 4 games in 5 nights stretch and I can't imagine that he's going to make all four.

Nets are putting together a pretty impressive string of performances, having beaten Detroit, Dallas and now Phoenix.
Odd--they don't look that strong, and they're not going to be a strong defensive club, but they can put out a pretty tough-to-defend starting 5.
Difficult to know if they're for real, or just pushing through an impressive streak.

The Nets D is impressive. The Suns have scored 45 points with 10 minutes left in the fourth.

This reminds me of our first game with Det. Everything the Nets throw up goes in and everything PXH throws up bounces off the rim...that's if they don't turn it over first.
With Kirstic playing this well they'll be a tough out in the playoffs. They don't play much defense on most nights but they do have players capeable of playing D when they want to.

The AMARE Effect.
That must hurt Nash's MVP chances.
He's been dirkVpeeed...

I would love to punch D'antoni in his smug face.

What makes this all the more incredulous is that the Nets were on their 2nd night of a B2B (beating Detroit last night!) while the Suns are coming off a day's rest.
Thank you, Nets... you're now my favorite team in the East!

Nash: 26min 0-5 0pts
Amare: 14min 0-6 0pts
Has it ever happened before that the two best players on a team score a combined 0pts in a game?
Btw, Tim Thomas: 24min 0-6 0pts

It's okay... I have it on good authority that MVP's sometimes go 0-5.

I know it doesn't mean much but the suns are about to be passed by miami for 5th best record in the league. Bragging rights, but they are definitely fading, .500 ball in last 10 games. That's with GETTING people back while the dirkster just keeps putting the team on his back.

I blamed the Mavs loss on not having our 2 guys who are best at defending carter. What's the Suns excuse?

They don't have anyone to defend anyone.

Amare is definitely NOT the same guy who suited up last year. They should have followed Stein's advice and kept him out the whole year. His explosiveness is gone and against a strong quick center he's history. Suns will still be a force to recon with, but as we get closer to playoff time I marvel at how the chips are beginning to fall.
Maybe this is the Mav's year? Any word on Jho and Griffin for tomorrows game?

It is also customary of MVP types to mail in games.

I also heard that MVP's can still be MVP front-runners when their team goes 5-5.
So.... it's all good.

Didn't see this one, but looking at the box score and... damn! Phoenix is fading away quickly.
And what's the deal with New Jersey lately? Seriously, they're looking like legit contenders.

Phoenix? ...Or that shot we should have got against Jersey?
Sikey, the baby Jesus doesn't like it when the West loses to the East. It's not the way he drew it up.
