With all the excitement surrounding March Madness some of us forget that the Phoenix Suns are still playing. Yes our favorite team (although debatable) pulled out another high scoring win against the Washington Wizards 128 - 96 for their 4th straight win(the longest of the season, pathetic). The theme of tonight was J-Rich and blocked shots. Jason Richardson was heartbreak hotel from 3pt-land shooting 6 for 9 and ending the game with 35 pts. The Suns defense, yes we have it, managed to block 10 shots with seven different players. The Suns are now 3.5 games behind the Mavericks and every game is critical if we have ANY chance to make the playoffs. Although sometimes I think we are better off not making the playoffs and drafting somebody worthwhile. Our bench has done a great job showing how well they can play against teams in the league. It is promising to see that the Suns may become a deeper squad next year. Watch out.
Amare Stoudemire was in attendance to the game sporting a new outfit and aviators. He still wont be playing if we make the playoffs due to a retinal surgery. He was interviewed after the game and mentioned his healing process has been slow. He has promised to wear goggles for the rest of his career. If only he promised this earlier in the year after his incident with ex-Sun Boris Diaw. Leandro Barbosa was also in attendance to the game but did not play due to a contusion in his leg.
Shaq has passed Moses Malone to become fifth in all time scoring in the NBA.
