96-85 with 5 minutes to go IN THE 3RD QUARTER.EDIT: Oh, and Memphis Fan and I have a bet: If the Suns win, he wears a Suns Rock! sig for a week, Memphis wins, I wear a Grizz Rock! sig for a week.
ridiculously high scoring game. I should probably go downstairs and watch it, but I won't. Amare is putting up a heck of a game so far, 34 and 7 through 3.
I don't know about D'Antoni's decision not to put in the bench and the end. I guess he really wanted to send the bench players a message for not taking their PT seriously. Amare is almost at 100%.
The suns are too good right now. The scary thing is I think the suns can get better. I really fear the way this team is playing. No team has an answer for that type of offense.
whoa, Amare played an excellent game today, season-high 42 points. Marion had a pretty solid game - 22 points 13 rebs.Overall, this was a great win for us - 10th straight baby!
there's a reason why amare scored so much, cause he got 20 shots insteed of his usal 10 or so.great win by the suns.
MURDA!!!!!!!!!!!!Good game till the mid 3rd though...cant wait till draft night when were made instant contenders. Well, all teams have THAT season, and Jerry West pretty much is saying, we are going to suck, and get the most outve it....I like how memphis is going. I said beofre the season started, worse case is we are okay...I either wanted to be a playoff team, or a lotto team. And we're a lotto team. Im still pissed at Amare for not coming to memphis.
btw, ive heard on other forums Dan D'toni(w/c?) is going to be the next grizzlies coach....intresting.

He would make a damn good coach hopefully that is all bs :no1:
well, JW said the next coach will come from a fast team, hasnt been head coach before, so I guess thats why hes been thrown out there.

We all pretty much know that he only uses an 8 man rotation, and he plays them the same amount every night so they have some kind of system and arent playing 20 minutes one night and 40 the next. They play their regular minutes every game because its harder to play 20 in one game and 40 in the next when your running up and down the court as much like the Suns. It helps them stay out of slumps as well. I've heard a few commentators say this. I know Reggie Miller doenst agree with it since he was questioning D'Antoni's logic behind this, but I pretty much think he has a point behind it. I would probably do the same thing if I was in D'Antoni's position.
I did not watch much of it even though I had the game on. But dang it was some high scoring sh*t. That is what the Sixers should have done when they had AI as long as Webber was not playing of course. lol

This was different than what he usually does. In the beginning of the season when he just emptied his bench it almost backfired but he usually does give them time in blowouts like this.
