2010 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 4 - Suns At Trail Blazers Game Thread

[Proteus]

Geez. Nash throws the ball out of bounds again.

 

[Cheesebeef]

boy, Nash has played like crap today.

 

[Proteus]

Sigh. Another open look from the 3 given up.

 

[slinslin]

Ok here we go again, Steve Nash throwing the ball away in the 4th.

[Cheesebeef]

and I think that's the dagger.

we had our shot. Couldn't ever take the lead with Portland missing shots for 8 straight minutes.

Swing Game 5 coming up. Should be fun.

 

[slinslin]

Was Steve Nash of course who left the 3pt shooter open again.

 

[Folster]

Gentry is giving Roy a complete pass on the defensive end. The guy can barely move; we should be exposing him.

 

[GorrilaLips]

Just turned on....now, I'm going to turn off. WtH is Shawn Marion's Lookalike doing in the game(roy) and did I hear Batum is in? WTF is going on?

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 79-85 with 4:49 left in the 4th quarter.

 

[Proteus]

Stop giving Aldridge open looks.

 

[Cheesebeef]

too much dribbling by Nash.

 

[Proteus]

Oh geez. Nash with yet another turnover.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Nash just sucked today.

 

[Proteus]

Game over.

 

[GorrilaLips]

so glad I'm watching bucks game

 

[slinslin]

We play such stupid basketball really... What is Steve Nash doing driving into Aldridge and Camby all the time.

 

[Proteus]

Another freaking turnover from Nash. Way to choke Steve.

 

[Ronin]

Flagrant 1?

 

[slinslin]

Seriously Steve Nash freaking choker.

 

[Cheesebeef]

man, that flagrant call was a joke... but the game was over anyway.

loss goes squarely on Nash's shoulders. He brought nothing to the table today whatsoever. Didn't shoot well, didn't distribute the ball and turned it over like crazy.

 

[TJ]

Well...series tied 2-2. Suns obviously content with regaining home court advantage. Didnt seem to have that fire just like in Game 1. This team needs to stop taking games off. They are giving the fans in Rip City a reason to cheer.

 

[Folster]

How was that a flagrant? Unbelievable!

 

[Cheesebeef]

I like Gentry a lot but I'm REALLY scratching my head at his use of Barbs who just bogs down the offense. The second unit played so well with Goran and Hill running it. Why we we've gone away with is beyond me, especially with how pathetic Barbs has been since he's come back.

we gotta realize tho that most of this team is pretty new to the playoffs as well. Really, only Steve and Amare (and Barbs who should never seen the light of day) have had success in the playoffs in their careers. And it's not like Portland is chopped liver. They've been the most resilient team in basketball all season.

I do wonder watching Roy get back out there if we're not babying Lopez a little bit too much. We could use a body in there if this sucker goes the distance, which it looks like it's going to.
