This is a big game. First of all, it's because we can't afford to lose more than 1 game to keep the 2nd seed, and also because we can't let a team sweep us. That's just no good right before the playoffs. It'll be a challenge to play against a big team like Utah, but hopefully they can step up and win this one on the road. Kirelenko isn't playing... This team did beat Dallas though yesterday.
32-19 after the first quarter. Everyone has been contributing. That was an almost perfect quarter offensively and defensively.Edit: 68-46 now at the half. It would've been 70 too if Marion didn't rush the dunk at the end. This team really needs a win like this against this opponent. It gives the Jazz a big "F U" and if they continue this they may be able to give Nash + Amare some extra rest which they really need.
Suns won by around 28, great overall team effort and they got to rest some starters a little bit. D'Antoni, unfortunately, still found a way to play Nash 35 minutes...The Suns need 1 more win to clinch the #2 seed, or 1 loss by the Spurs. Hooray!
I don't mind Nash playing 35 mins. D'Antoni knows his limits better than we do. I want 63 wins too, fanchise record would always be a confidence booster heading into the playoffs no matter what people say.
