three and one

The Suns started their four game Eastern road swing tonight in Charlotte, NC, against the two and oh Bobcats.  This wasn't even a contest.  TheSuns were incredible, dominating assists 31 to 11, and having 14 less turn overs.  There were eight Suns in double figures; everyone was doing their part.  This is actually the second game in a row that Stat decided not to play because of swelling in his knee he just had arthroscopic surgery on in October.  Yes, that is a second knee surgery.  Not to worry, the team picked it up and just barely eeked out another win, only scoring 115 to the Bobcats' 83.  Yikes!  A 32 point victory?  And this over an undefeated team?  Well, it is the Eastern Conference, after all, so it can't be that shocking, I guess.  Marion and Diaw each had a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds for Marion and 15 points and 11 rebounds for Diaw.  Barbosa and Bell also had 16 points.  All of the analysts are calling this a very balanced attack with no one scoring over 16 points and yet they had 8 players in double figures and dominated the game.  Marcus Banks and little-know Sean Marks each scored in double figures, as well.  The Bobcats have never beaten the Suns in their existence as a franchise, now having an all-time record against the Suns of 0-7.  This is marks the 15th win out of 16 games (from last season to now) of road wins against the Eastern Conference.  We love it out there.  We would have swept the Cavs in the Finals just like the Spurs did.  Not a chance for the East.  So, the Suns advance to 3-1; the Bobcats are now 2-1.  The Suns take on Joe Johnson and the Hawks (1-2) in Atlanta tomorrow night.  GO SUNS!
