Vlade picked the perfect game for a tomato rating.

I have lost my voice from Last Night BIG victory. I would say it was 60/40 last night in the upper levels. 60% suns fans. There was a lot of purple and gold out there. The chants were Large as everyone was giving the Suns fan a wave as they were getting up to leave. Very Classic.

Thanks DB. My only complaint on the night was Kobe and Fish's shot selection. I find the starting unit boring to watch and am lovin the second unit. Props to Vlad for finally hitting some shots. Bynum was a little over-amped going up against Shaq. Props to Pau and LO to step up with him in foul trouble. Also loved the play where LO rebounded, pushed it up the court and pulled up for the 3 pointer. Swish! LO had a really good game both defensively and offensively. Props to our second unit for making the game watchable. Ridiculous that Pau got ignored like that in the first quarter.

Ariza officially made Grant Hill his (bleep) with that swat on him last night. Last year was the posterizing dunk, now the swat coming out of nowhere.

I have such a man-crush on Ariza. The dude is spectacular.

Props to the AZ Syndicate. My how things have changes in the Valley of the Sun in such a short span.

It didn't seem like that long ago that the Lakers were kinda clueless. Now it's Phx. Shaq should be a complimentary player rather than the main focus. He's got enough to give you a decent game 2x a week, so why let him set the table? Remember when no lead was safe against the Suns? They got the lead down to 10 with about 2-1/2 minutes left and brought none of their big guns/bombers in. I thought that was very strange for them to throw in the towel so soon.

Props to Vlade for showing up. Can you imagine how good the team will be when all the cylinders are firing properly? 9-1 ain't bad.

Fish goes for the early offense way too often. Kobe settled for more jumpers than he should. The damage he did in the post, though, was a great sign.

LO, Sasha, Ariza & JoFar really brought the energy. If the 2nd unit performs well on the road, well, you know, LO loves roadkill.

Fisher is absolutely killing us. It amazes me that no one is willing to call him out for being such a selfish gunner. It's bad enough that he sucks at simple PG skills such as post-entry passing, the ability to run a fast break, or even ball-handle against pressure, but no, he has to decide to take stupid jumpers to pump his numbers and ego.

His "drives" to the basket? What a moron. 12 years and he STILL doesn't realize that he sucks HORRIBLY at making layups.

Just like in '04 with GP outplaying him consistently, Fish feels Farmar on his heels and has reverted back to AI-mode.
