2010 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 5 - Trail Blazers At Suns Game Thread

Kenny Smith/or other sidekick should bring up his lack of focus during the Lakers/Suns 1st round series in 1993. He did the same thing - but then again, why beat that dead horse. Charles is mentally weak. My Evidence? His weight, his gambling addiction, his inability to fix his golf swing, his problems with the law/incidents at bars, etc... but most importantly, his lack of any championship ring and Houston's back-to-back titles.

I agree but it won't be Kenny Smith that brings it up. Chuck would just eat him.

I don't know what you guys are so up in arms about. Barkley's never patted himself on the back and said he's tougher than these folks. If anything the fact that his teams ALWAYS underachieved probably give him better insight on mentally weak teams than anything else. I mean, he's pretty much the expert on the subject and he really doesn't boast anything different.

Great win by the suns the other day dudley and frye really came to play, that 4 pt play by frye was awsome lol . I also really liked the way Amare play that goggle play was awsome when he was driving and fixed it and still scored lol. But man this suns team is so frusturating sometimes they look just awsome, and then other nights the suns can't seem to do a lot right... I really hope they close it out in portland COME ON SUNS!!!

I believe the bench will always bring the defense against everybody. Gentry needs to let Dragic be the PG and sub them in earlier in 1st and 3rd quarters to allow some margin for errors to ease the burden on them a little.

I agree. Let Dragic control the ball and LB play off it. Both guys have impressed me in these playoffs. Especially Dragic considering it's his first year. That goes for Dudley also.

Now if only Clark could get into the rotation so we have him as an extra defender on guys like Kobe and LeBron. As I said he did not impress in garbage time of game 4. That does not make Coach Gentry wanna give him more playing time. I understand he might be a bit scared though.

Yeah, I really don't get people pushing for more Earl Clark. This is the playoffs, people! The time for experimenting is over. Wait until next year and I bet he'll be a bigger part of the rotation.
