    Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns game thread

    looked like the correct call to me. carter was a step ahead. the announcers agreed when they saw the replay as well.

    ice cold shooting so far, and barnes with a technical.

    the defense on smith hasn't even been bad, he's just on fire and not afraid to shoot from anywhere

    Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns game thread

    could you at least properly quote the game info and put all the important parts in bold? nuggets got their butts kicked last night by cleveland so they may be a little tired out. suns 120 nuggets 112

    JJ Redick Possibly Coming to Phoenix?

    i don't think shooting is the biggest need of this team. since barnes has come here, we finally have the shooter we've needed for a while (not to mention the other things barnes does for us)

    Marion to the Cavs?

    the cavs wouldn't bother trading for marion, and their front office has argued against any claims of a potential trade for marion. Marion is smaller than lebron, so where would he start? we need ben and Z in the front court for the offense/defense combination they provide. we wouldn't put him at...

    Dantoni Homecoming Suns vs Knicks 7pm FSN

    far from where we should be meaning what? we just made a big trade, this is only our second game with this roster. Plus we've had shaq and barbosa both miss time already. Where, in your mind, should we be? I think we're doing just fine considering the circumstances

    Dantoni Homecoming Suns vs Knicks 7pm FSN

    so what? my example was spot on. Our front court scores on every team, not just one. amare is on a streak of 8 straight 20+ point games and shaq is averaging 16 points a game, including a better free throw percentage and 35/23 point efforts in his last two games. where exactly is my example wrong?

    Dantoni Homecoming Suns vs Knicks 7pm FSN

    agreed. especially when the other team is guarding him with Lee (in severe foul trouble) or Harrington. no reason for him not to see the ball, especially when you consider that he is surrounded on the perimeter by J rich, Nash, and Barnes

    Dantoni Homecoming Suns vs Knicks 7pm FSN

    when you play running teams, the outcome is usually going to be relatively meaningless. if you beat them badly, it's probably because they missed shots and shot themselves out of the game. if you lose badly, it's probably because they just outshot you. beating them by 10 is just somewhere in the...

    Dantoni Homecoming Suns vs Knicks 7pm FSN

    we just don't have the speed to stop quick guys like robinson. he just got into a zone too, so it isn't too much of a surprise that he got as many points as he did. Just think, every time people play us they probably say "it's amazing how bad our front court defense is" when in reality it is...

    take barbs out for j rich so we can be sure to secure some boards here

    Dantoni Homecoming Suns vs Knicks 7pm FSN

    either go for the 1 on 1 break and get an offensive foul or simply hug the ball for dear life when they got the steal so they could give it to nash.

    Dantoni Homecoming Suns vs Knicks 7pm FSN

    j rich gets a steal and goes 1 on 1 on the break to draw the foul and nearly finish the shot. imagine what bell or diaw would have done had they come up with that steal.

    J rich working on the offensive glass and the strong finish. very nice game from his so far

    Bulls/Suns trade idea

    to get rid of hinrich who isn't getting the minutes/playtime he could be getting elsewhere for something valuable. Also, what better mentor for Rose than Nash?

    Possible backup Pg solution

    well he's definitely better than dragic, and still very young. we isn't getting many minutes in Golden State because of how many guards they have. he's probably going to be less needed once ellis gets back. i don't think we got a trade exception from that deal. if they really wanted to dump him...

    Doesn't Mike deserve an apology?

    throwing to amare in the post didn't help us win that game. amare is a pick and roll/pick and pop player. he is much better at slashing and getting fouled or shooting jumpshots than he is at backing someone down in the post to try and get a shot off.

    Possible backup Pg solution

    Monta Ellis is getting ready to come back off the suspended list for Golden State but they don't have a roster spot for him. Rob Kurz is supposedly well-liked by Nellie so they won't cut him, and the rest of their roster is guaranteed. They are pretty much stacked on guards as it is. They have...

    I friggin' love Matt Barnes.

    if barnes keeps us this level of play for the whole year, anyone see an M.I.P award for him?

    I LOVE The Trade

    i like this quote from J. Rich after the game: On adapting to the new team so quickly:

    Thank GOD we're stuck with Barbosa!

    loving barbosa's game since he's got it going. the biggest thing is that if he keeps playing like this, he can actually be effective against some heavyweights in the playoffs. J. Rich- thanks for breathing some new life into us. Debut was nothing short of spectacular.

    Time to Run Again

    by replacing bell with richardson in the starting lineup, the suns are basically calling it quits on being a fundamentally half-court team. The suns management and coaching finally realized that they are going to be better when they play to their strengths (obviously), meaning amare and nash in...

    J Rich by the Numbers

    Monta ellis was on the rise and they want to build around him. No need to have a high-scorer in there taking shots your future franchise player could be taking instead
