60-59 At the half, Suns leading. Amare is just man handling the Mavs right now. He's a BEAST. 25 Points, 5 boards on 8/10 shooting, getting easy dunks from his teammates (Nash with some beautiful passes), and he's doing it on the defensive side too with his blocks and shot changing. Q and Marion both with 3, they can't afford to play in Foultrouble the rest of the game. Should be an exciting 2nd half.
Steve Nash is phenomenal tonight. He's setting up his gunners late in the game with wide open looks. The Suns just hit back to back 3 point shots as the Mavs went on a mini run. Phoenix has extended their lead to 8 with 4 minutes left. The Mavs need to go back to Quis Daniels in the post. He was killing the Suns in there and getting to the line. Nash to Amare has been the closest comparison to Stockton to Malone.
Looks like it will be 2-1. Both teams played bad tonight. They both missed many shots, and Nash had soo many turnovers. But the Suns played better defense, and I think that is what won them the game.
Dallas totally embarrased themselves late in the 4th quarter. I don't think I've ever seen a team make so many stupid mistakes in a playoff game. Steve Nash is just playing games with their defense. How about that hookshot over Dirk? Nashty. Oh yeah...I love Waltah!
Dunkathon for Amare tonight. And that Steve Nash left hook was nice. But man 16 points off of dunks. That's some NBA JAM ish right there. I get tired dunking 8 times just shooting around all by my lonely. But in a game wow. Like Tolbert said and we all know. Home games don't mean nothing to both these teams.
Awesome game. The Mavericks confidence must really be waning now. The Suns need to come out and stomp them in the next game early, taking away that last bit of confidence remaining.
Steve Nash once again reminded everyone why he is the MVP. Amare just dominated the paint...he was just plain nasty.
