LOL! Mesa street. How typical.

I'll round up some pics and post them here in a new thread. It was cool cuz at the end of the movie the whole scene where he comes back into downtown Phoenix starts up around Fillmore and 2nd Ave. I'll find some good shots and post later.

Liking how the Suns have been playing lately. They went through a bad patch in Dec/Jan but seem to have found their form. Scary how tight the West is though, only a few losses separate the 2 through 8 spots.

Saw them here in Denver in early February and they looked good. Loved the use of the bench, and JRich and Frye were hitting...tough to beat when that happens. Plus Amare is playing better, I think he knows he has to if he wants any hope of getting max money from a team (hopefully the Suns won't give him that).

Should be an interesting couple of months, curious to see how it'll all shake out come playoff time.

nobody is going to give that lazy motherfucker max money.

He is a good scorer and a reliable player and has a good attitude toward team play. He has a lot of positives, unfortunately his one negative is a huge one. The lack of willingness to play defense.

So goran is a fucking bad ass.

Downtown traffic must have sucked. with there being a suns game and a d-backs game around the same time. Pretty cool though how the suns won, the dbacks won and the coyotes won on the same night.

What is a Coyote? Are you saying they beat the border patrol and sheriff Joe?

No Shyt man. He played damn well vs. the Spurs. Back to back steals and some serious nash like moves on the court. I don't think nash played at all in the 4th quarter. Good game overall and I like the fact that they had the coaches wired for that game. They showed Alving Gentry telling his team, "Hey, well they won 4 banners and this is why. We knew they were going to come back and they have, so let's continue to fight and pull away." The Suns did just that and I know there are those who will say, "well, San ANtonio played a back to back so they were fatigued." I say Bullshyt, there are 7 teams within 3 games of each other so no matter how tired you are, you play like crazy. Let's hope the Suns can get passed OKC on Friday.

Yeah, I'm sure they won the "Migra" Cup.

Tito714 · #89 Posted **Apr 9, 2010, 6:45 AM**

well they played the Predators so your statement makes sense.

mgmAZCO · #90 Posted **Apr 15, 2010, 2:35 PM**

Great way to close out the season! I think nabbing the #3 spot exceeded most people's expectations. They are playing so well together. Portland will be a tough match-up, they were pretty effective at slowing the Suns down this year...but we should get past them.

I'm probably setting myself up for the usual post-season heartbreak, but here's to hoping they make a run at it!!!!

Im pumped the Suns drew PDX in the 1st round. Im flying up to Portland to visit some friends and see game 4 which will hopefully be the last game of a Suns sweep.

Where are your seats? Wear some Suns gear and maybe we'll see you on TV.

TAZ4ate0 · #93 Posted **Apr 15, 2010, 4:36 PM**

ummmmm....am I allowed to say I told you so now? As the beginning of the season, when there were many doubters, I more or less said, "Be patient, this team is far better than what they are getting credit for."

Here is to hoping to a successful run in the playoffs.

Oh, and Hoover, when you go up there to see the game, make us all proud by being the loudest and most wild Suns fan ever.

Vicelord John · #94 Posted **Apr 15, 2010, 5:24 PM**

if you take out that nasty slump in december and january, this team is one of the best in the NBA. Bring Sideshow Rob back and they will be a real contender.

Im thinking of bringing my Arizona flag to wave, but that may be too annoying.

Vicelord John · #96 Posted **Apr 16, 2010, 2:12 AM**

purple? fuck that wear orange its more noticable. Purple just tends to blend in. I got five bucks if you run on court.

Also I just got word that B Roy is out for the series. I'd rather beat them at full strength so people can't say "yeah but" but I'll take it!

Well I was thinking of wearing an orange Suns t-shirt with a long sleeve purple button up over that because itll likely be cold to my desert bones up there.

I don't think $5 will cover my bail, sorry.

Im fine with B Roy being out, makes it easier on the Suns. Lets hope the Suns take care of business and the game I see is the last game of the series. Then I hope Dallas and SA beat the ever living snot out of each other and that series goes 7.

Vicelord John · #98 Posted **Apr 16, 2010, 2:29 AM**

If we beat Portland and SA could muster a win over Dallas, we could see the suns in the Western Conference Finals. Too bad they aren't going to beat the Lakers. Still though, a return to the conference finals would be oh so sweet and would help shut a lot of people up and make Amare want to stay.

Dude, I don't know about the Lakers. They haven't been playing well recently. Don't be to surprised it they lose to Utah/Denver.

I would LOVE to play the Spurs next round, they couldn't stop us 2 weeks ago. It would be Suns in 5, 6 worst case scenario.

This is funny! Suns ended up winning 54 games...how ironic.

Suns definitely surprised me this year. I thought they'd be a bubble team, 7th 8th or just miss the playoffs. Boy was I wrong.

They really finished the season strong, and the way they're playing, I think they have a legitimate chance to go to the Western Conf. Finals and then who knows what after that!
