		<description>It was a heartbreaker. Amare&#039;s missed free throw was painful, but it should be Nash&#039;s or others&#039;. I don&#039;t understand why suns called timeout after 100-99. We all knew that hawks were gonna foul. What suns needed to do was simple and quick inbound pass to Nash. That timeout gave hawks a better chance to avoid Nash. And suns got nothing from it.  Well, suns did a good job against hawks on the road. 

Anyway, it&#039;s time for trade talk. Suns need to trade away Jason Richardson. He is getting paid like a superstar, but he is a mediocre player in Suns. He is not a crunch time shooter, not a good 3 point shooter(only about 35%), not even a decent defender, and not a hustle player. Of course, he is very atheletic and that&#039;s all. He may be better if he shoots 20 - 25 every night and plays 1 on 1 as he wants. In suns and/or Nash offense system though, they don&#039;t need a shooting guard like him. If Jason is not a go-to guy like Kobe, D-wade, or Roy, suns should trade him away for a decent 3 point shooter with good defense and hustle, just like Raja Bell showed a couple of years ago (not need Raja though). Mathematically, suns could get 2 decent players for Jason(around $13M). 

Where is Brazilian Blur? Barbosa is not what he used to be after his ankle injury. I hope he gets back his rhythm soon.</description>

		<description>Get some defensive rebounds and make your free throws and you win this by 10 points. </description>
