2010 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 1 - Trail Blazers At Suns Game Thread

If you disregard his stupid 3 turnovers that lead to Portland points then yes.

Barbosa has had good moments and terrible moments.

Pretty disappointing first half. The Blazers' game plan working very well so far, slowing the pace down and shutting down Amare. The Suns had three days to prepare for this game, but they are playing as if they just found out who their opponent would be ten minutes before tipoff.

barbs came to play, i wish hill and jrich did too

and sadly the one Sarver Inc will ship out, I am sure another lofty extension for J-Rich and Hill will be ripe for order.

 

[Proteus]

I can't believe people wanted to play the Trail Blazers.

 

[dodie53]

it's only the 1st half,
calm down people.

Pathetic effort by the Suns. WTF is this?

 

[jagu]

Run them to the frigging ground!

I can't believe people wanted to play the Trail Blazers.

I would have rather played the Nuggets but we're going to win this series. Seriously, when was the last time we played THAT bad of a half? And we're down by 1.

Agree, the shots Hill and Richardson are missing are uncontested, Amare is being played by an outstanding defensive player.

I personally think Richardson is scared, he was purposely not taking shots at the end of the half, because he has mentally given up. Hill has been an average playoff player his entire career, not surprised in his Ofer at all.

I didn't expect amare to be shut down. :-(

 

[95pro]

i agree about jrich. seems like he didnt want the ball on offense.

 

[jagu]

TNT has the most annoying analysts.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 43-44 after the 2nd quarter. Suns shooting 39% with 7/15 3 pointers. Trail Blazers shooting 42% with 3/9 3 pointers.

Suns (LB with 3) and Trail Blazers tied at 7 turnovers.

Suns have 8 offensive rebounds, Trail Blazers 7.

Suns have hit 2/2 free throws, Trail Blazers have hit 5/6 free throws.

It's bad enough that the Suns are losing but this is a pretty ugly game to watch.

 

[Quagmire]

We took their best shot. Not lets see if their adjustments are better than ours. Amare has to get going on the pick-n-roll, Hill and Jrich need to slash. I wonder if Phx is going to come out in a zone and see how Portland adjusts.

 

[jagu]

Amare looks like a deer in headlights today. It's time Amare to show up or hit the road on free agency.

Relax guys, suns are ONLY down by 1 point and I highly doubt we'll do any worse in the 2nd half.

Have faith A lot of you guys criticize too much when things aren't going well! lol.

 

[95pro]

do we even start collins for the rest of the series?

he really got us off to a bad start, frye was inserted pretty quick in the 1st.

 

[ninous26]

One player I can criticize though is Goran Dragic... I love this guy to death but I've been noticing a lot lately that he can be a huge ball hog and take bad shots.

 

[slinslin]

Amare looks like a deer in headlights today. It's time Amare to show up or hit the road on free agency.

He looks like a guy surrounded by 3 players on every possession to me.

 

[95pro]

nevermind, collins is back in the game starting the 3rd.

 

[cly2tw]

Whoever tried to double on Miller defended by JRich at lowpost was pathetic. That led to the late 3 by Batum. Makes no sense.

 

[Ronin]

sit Richardson.

 

[95pro]

finally jrich!

 

[Proteus]

JRich hits a 3.

 

[ninous26]

Tie game, but not liking this trading baskets.. Suns NEED to get to the hole
