Goran Dragic single-handedly buried the Spurs in the 4th qtr last night.
via a.espncdn.com
That must have been a humiliating 4th qtr for the Spurs. The Suns BENCH unit outplayed the Spurs STARTING unit. They were playing so well that JRich and Amare did not come back in the 4th, and Steve Nash sat until about the 3 min mark. The guy that led the charge for the Suns was Goran Dragic. He shot, he drove, he even completed a 4 pt play doing the Karl Malone draw-the-foul trick from the 3 pt line! Check out the video recap and the gameflow. The Suns trailed by 18, but led by as much as 16. That's a 34 pt turnaround!
GameFlow - Phoenix @ San Antonio
More importantly, the Spurs are now in an 0-3 deficit that no team has ever escaped from. What's amazing is that the Suns have outplayed the Spurs this entire series. These aren't your offense-only run-and-gun Suns of yesteryear. They still run, but they also play defense. They rotate, they collapse and double team, and they defend the rim.
Oh btw, I can't forget about the other game yesterday, Cavaliers @ Celtics. The Cavs thoroughly demolished the Celtics, and... um... er... snore. OK, so I CAN forget about that other game.
It'll be hard to top yesterday's Suns/Spurs game, but we move forward with today's afternoon lineup:
Today's lineup:
Magic @ Hawks, ESPN 2:00pm PDT
Lakers @ Jazz, ABC 5:00pm PDT
Orlando Magic @ Atlanta Hawks
Usually I'd write a quick little summary of this series in this segment. But what can I possibly write about this series? The Hawks are outmatched and outplayed by the Magic. What else can I say? I'm not even going to bother looking for a pic to fill this segment up.
Accuscore fun: Magic 59% - Atlanta 41%

LA Lakers @ Utah Jazz
Ditto for this segment. The Jazz get back Andrei Kirilenko today, but that's not much help against the Lakers. So no pic and no summary here either.

Goran Dragic
is a baller. Doing his best Kobe impersonation yesterday in the fourth quarter. Man, what a player.
"Thurs-J. The best day of the week"
If you ask Bill Simmons, Dragic was doing his Sleepy Floyd impersonation.

In six games against the Magic this season (including the playoffs), it’s hard to believe Joe Johnson is averaging just 15.7 points per game.

Surprise, suprise. It helps you win.

Oh okay
sucks. I’m at work. and the tv here is at an angle from my desk, and I can’t read the score, so I don’t even bother watching. I see the Magic are killin em though.
Yes, they are
and the Hawks look pretty lost and unenthusiastic by comparison. This series is WAY over.
This sucks
The Suns Spurs Game 4 is tomorrow, and I got Mothers Day stuff to do
In the playoffs, especially
He was a 39% 3pt during the season, but in the playoffs, he’s 53% overall, and against the Spurs, he’s 50%, 50%, 71% for 3 games.
I think it's just a good Magic team who's built for a title
and the Hawks just unfortunately aren’t on their level.
Hawks should try Hack a Howard
They’re out of options
My Warriors Richardson jersey will come in handy in the WCF
I still get to represent being a Warrior and J-Rich fan, and a laker hater
The Hawks are just plain outclassed.
I feel almost sorry for them.
Take my bags, not my top 3 pick!

I'm skimming through the comments on poundingtherock.com (Spurs SBNation blog)
When I think about it, who’s 0-3 standing is worse? Hawks, or Spurs? Hawks weren’t supposed to win anyway, but the Spurs were expected to beat the Suns at least once.
To answer my own question
I think the Hawks are more “pathetic”, and you can feel sorry for their fans. But the Spurs are more gut wrenching, because they played about as well as they can, and they’re still getting beat.
How the Suns play
is how I wished the Warriors played. We got the offense down pack, now if wwe could just play good defense we could actually go somewhere other than the lottery.

Our offense could be better
we don’t have a dominant big man scorer.

Gasol is hard to guard
You double team him, he’ll pass
That's what Jazz need to do
hustle to those rebounds
It’s the nifty hairdo.

Actually. I dont hate them as much as a lot of Warrior fans do.
I only absolutely loathe it when the Laker fans take over the Roaracle and are louder than Warrior fans IN OAKLAND. (especially when we get blown out by 37 points or more)
thats what i REALLY HATE.

u predict a sweep?
i dont.
if thats the case. it will go 7 games. u choose the winners.
Suns defense is underratedly better.
Suns got a Way better bench than Lakers piece of crap bench.
Ya Lakes got the best starting 5 but i dont think that matters in the post season.
Jrich is the X factor. If they do make it his biggest challenge is Artest and Jrich needs to definitely step up.

Anybody see this?
Suns after winning game 3.
Grant Hill – “We playing like Golden State!” hahah
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
haha that's awesome
That could be our Warriors in a couple years. We need the next Alvin Gentry when Nellies done. A coach that runs and guns, but also has his team play good defense.
ROFL!
