Hawks vs Suns`

[DrReality]

Close first half. Flip is lighting it up with 15 points. Way to hang in there.

[DrReality]

He's 3/3 from three point line. Outstanding.

[TheTruth]

Who is guarding Horford? He is having his way offensively.

Who is guarding Horford? He is having his way offensively.

9 FT attempts already? I like!

[TheTruth]

Yeah, all while mostly playing PF tonight.

Eh, why did we stop feeding Flip the ball? He has not taken another FG Attempt since the second half resumed...

Nice to see Acie and Horford get to the line 17 times between them.

One thing i noticed that bears watching is Murray's outside shooting which has always been a weak spot in his game. So far in preseason he is 4-9 from 3. During the last 23 games of the regular season with Indy he was 14-36 from 3.

It is probably just a statistical fluke due to the small sample size but it is worth noting.

Just got back from the game. Good to see the non starters getting so many minutes.

Acie- looking confident, didn't score as much as Monday - Nash and Singletary are both pretty quick defenders. Made a nice 3 when covered well with time running out.

Solo - played better than on Monday, good hustle.

Othello - looked good while in there, a couple of nice moves in the paint.

Mo - good defence, solid offence. He is going to be a very nice 6th man.

Flip - the more I see of him the more I like him. Good stroke from the outside and made a tough driving layup.

Bibby, Marvin and Speedy were suited out on the bench. Didn't even shoot any warmups, but I liked that they were there with the team. Shaq and Amare were there in suits and didn't really interact with their team.

Of course the final Kiss Cam shot was of Shaq - he was pretty funny. stuck out his tongue to french kiss the guy next to him, thankfully it didn't happen.

We coulda/shoulda won this game - a couple of easy shots missed down the stretch. Although Shaq and Amare didn't play, this is one of the deepest teams out there, and one of the best in the West.

I'm optimistic. We have a tough schedule through mid December - then we get 8 in a row at home. Gotta stay healthy and win some on the road.

Acie and I forget who else were wearing the single long white long "sleeve", ala AI , Mello and Kobe. Mo and Josh had a single black long "sleeve". Is this just for fashion?
