2010 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 2 - Trail Blazers At Suns Game Thread

[Ronin]

Camby looks old in this game.

 

[Ronin]

Jrich!

I EFFING HATE BAYLESS, I feel like punching him in the face!

 

[Proteus]

Back to back 3s by JRich.

No, I don't think we can. We have improved on defense but it's really our second team that does that for us. Our starters can score and they need to do that, anything else from them would be like trying to re-invent the wheel, IMO.

I respect that, i just dont agree.

I feel that way about him and Howard

 

[mojorizen7]

Good foul Barbs.

 

[jagu]

We couldn't put the dagger thanks to all the foul calls.

 

[mojorizen7]

Missed the majority of the 1st qtr again. Did Collins get the token start?

 

[slinslin]

Barbosa and Dragics lack of basketball IQ was really costly those last 2 minutes.

Since they came in every possession was a headless drive to the basket that ended in an ugly ugly layup attempt.

 

[AfroSuns]

The second unit needs to play better

 

[jagu]

I hate when Barbosa has the ball, you never think he'll do something productive with the ball.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 32-26 after the 1st quarter. Suns were up by as many as 12 points. Suns shooting 52% with 3/6 3 pointers. Trail Blazers shooting 35% with 2/4 3 pointers.

Suns and Trail Blazers have committed 1 turnover.

Suns and Trail Blazers are tied with 1 offensive rebound.

Suns have hit 5/5 free throws, Trail Blazers have hit 10/11 free throws.

 

[jagu]

Barbosa is an idiot.

 

[Proteus]

The bench offense sucks.

 

[Ronin]

Nice drive by Barbosa

 

[AzStevenCal]

I respect that, i just dont agree.

Understood. I will add, this is the kind of group that will play a little better defense if their offense is effective. Other than closing out a few games though I've never seen them play good defense except when they're scoring well.

I like how he is driving though, not setting for jumpshots

Exactly, this officating is so one sided it's rediculous. Refs keeping Portland in the game absolutely.

 

[mojorizen7]

Way to rebound Lou. Barbs looks healthy....hopefully his shot gets healthy too.

 

[Ronin]

Barbosa been long on the three's

Feels like it IMO. I know it may sound crazy but its just so one-sided.

 

[slinslin]

Hello Mr Frye, please wake up and stop doing things you can't do.

 

[SpokaneCardfan]

I don't care how they do it but Amundson needs to get more minutes.

 

[mojorizen7]

You dont have to tell me about this teams deficiencies on defense.
From what i've seen thus far tonight, the SUNS are doing just that,focusing on disrupting the BLAZERS offense....
