:cry2: We lost? It's just so different. Garnett killed us, he had like 42 points, making tough shot after tough shot over Diaw and he had some nice spin moves. T-Wolves are pretty good when their team is at 100%. I expect to see them in the playoffs. Good win for them.
Well you have to expect a team to lose every once in a while but I didn't expect them to lose to the T-Wolves. Garnett has his best game of the year and it was just enough to beat the Suns. I don't see how you think the Wolves will make the playoffs though...?

glad to see the wolves do something good for a change. KG was beastin in the 4th, I dont think anyone could stop him. he was amazing in tis game
Sad it's over, but still... 33-3 in our last 36 games is an amazing feat, and 17 straight is just unhuman now a days. I just wish the streak was snapped by an elite team, not a mediocre one.

They also beat the Spurs and ALMOST came back against us. Unless Cassell comes out of nowhere, the Clippers may disappear. Brand can't carry the Clips. The T'Wolves have KG and now Foye has been playing damn well (at least some of the time... I don't watch Minny that often).Edit: WOW
Garnett just abused the suns. They should feel embarrassed. Then again the wolves have been showing life lately mainly because what garnett is doing offensively and defensively. He is stepping up big time this year. but could the wolves beat the suns in a playoff series... I doubt that. However, 44
This just proves some more of my points on the Suns suspect defense. I said earlier that the Suns dont have anyone that can gaurd Dirk Nowitzki. Ya'll came back and said that Marion can. Well, Garnett is a player that has the same kind of skills, strength, and height as Dirk. Dirk is a better 3 point shooter, but KG didnt beat them with a 3point shot. He beat them with that 18 foot jumper post up. All he did was shoot over Marion, Diaw, etc. Thats the same thing Dirk does. KG had 44 points. I think this proves my point that they cant stop a good shooting man like KG, Dirk, Bosh, etc. :winkglasses: Now come the critics.

You guys have sucked against Stoudemire who still isn't at 100% and Nash so I don't care if we can't stop Dirk. We have 2 guys that you can't stop.
Well KG's fadeaway is an impossible shot to defend, he's so damn tall and his arms are so damn long.Congrats to the Suns for such an impressive streak.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I said earlier that the Suns dont have anyone that can gaurd Dirk Nowitzki.</div>Dallas has no one that can guard Steve Nash, and has no one that can stop Amare Stoudemire. You don't really match up well against Marion, but I'll grant that you might be able to contain Raja Bell. I'm not sure what the point is in parroting the obvious. MVP canidates are unguardable in the right situations. What you do is force them to beat you. The idea being that they can't beat you 4 out of 7 games. Sometimes you do everything right and you still lose. We're missing our best interior defender right now, so it should come of no surprise that a guy like KG beat us. Just like when Duncan has a field day tomorrow, it shouldn't come as a surprise.

Well I totally forgot that Devin Harris and Josh Howard are taking the playoffs off. Those two guys are probably are two best defenders and guess who'll they'll be gaurding? You guessed it, Nash and Marion. Now they wont stop Nash, but they certainly will hastle them enough to make them a little less effective. Another thing all Phoenix Suns fans say is that "Well, Amare isnt totally healthy." Well lets, see, the last two times we played you guys, we didnt have our full roster either. Josh Howard didnt play in the 1st meeting this season, and Jerry Stackhouse didnt play in the 2nd. Even with the injuries, we still came out victorious. And with your statement of me "parroting the obvious", well, I know your new to the forum, but that's what I've heard from your fellow Sun fans for a long time. That Marion will be able stop Nowitzki come playoff time. It still hasnt happened. That's why I say it, because appearently it is nt obvious to some Phoenix fans. Oh, and on the Raja comment, I dont think he is as a big concern for us as Devin Harris and Jason Terry are for ya'll. Raja cant gaurd both so that leaves Nash on one of them. I personally think that Harris will have a big series if these teams meet. Nash isnt fast enough or good enough on defense to stop him. Hell, Tony Parker even wasn't. I defanitly think that Harris could have to big games in a 7 game series with this team. And if they put Bell on him, then Terry will have those big games.
