Alvin Gentry makes me angry...

“To tell you the truth, if you look at the teams in the West, there’s no one running away with this thing," Gentry said. "Oklahoma City has 21 wins. You get past the Clippers, who have 17, and there is a logjam to the bottom of the conference. We had four home losses that are awful. You take those and make them wins and we have 16 wins.”

really? Try to face reality Alvin. Had we not lost a game we would have 29 wins now.

We are #13 in the West, stop making excuses. Other teams lose to bad teams too and don't get the W back. We also luckily beat a bunch of shorthanded teams.

Why would any of that make you mad? He doesn't have a magic hat to pull a rabbit from, he has to work with what he has. I don't see how framing this in anything other than a positive light is to his advantage. I pretty much see it the same way you do, we've had more luck fall in our direction than against us. But, telling it that way would do little for the confidence of these guys. He's just trying to prop them up (and perhaps the few remaining gullible fans too). I doubt he'll be employed much longer should he ever decide to publicly describe this mess any other way.

Go Hawks!

 

[slinslin]

If he is going to say anything like that he should say that they need to work harder, play better and improve on certain things instead of making it sound like they should be a playoff team right now.

I hate how this front office is talking publicly as if fans are totally stupid and naiv.

I'm watching the Suns game. It's an exciting game thus far. Watching Nash, Gortat and Morris are enough reason to watch.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are up 31-21 at the end of the 1st quarter.

 

[jagu]

Watching Robin Lopez play is the equivalent of sticking your finger down your throat to elicit the gag reflex.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nash with 15 points and 14 assists.

lol, ya, he's putrid. Suns went from a 15 point lead, to an 8 point deficit late in the 4th quarter. #hireagm

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are giving up wide open... I mean wide open 3 point shots. I'm not please with the Suns defense one bit.

 

[jagu]

Josh Smith is our daddy. We are about as clutch in crunch time as Tony Romo.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nash with an incredible 3 point play. The two point shot under the basket was more than a circus shot.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Josh Smith is our daddy. We are about as clutch in crunch time as Channing Frye.

FTFY

 

[WarnerHOF]

Free Steve Nash!

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns lose 101-99. Nash for 22 points and 16 assists. He is a warrior.

 

[Proteus]

It looks like rest agrees with the old guys (Nash & Hill).

That was a great 3 point play by Steve.

Too bad Frye missed that open 3.

Too many open 3s given up by the Suns and way too many turnovers particularly in the 4th quarter.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

He is a warrior.

Last of the Solhicans. A general without an army.

The Lopez bashers are pretty funny considering that they want to still win games for the most part and blame Lopez for losses but forget that he had a few games off the bench where he was the main reason the Suns pulled off a win.

Yeah, the Gortat basher (singular) is pretty funny too.

Since Amare left, Lopez has played in 95 games. I'm not sure helping us to victory in 2 or 3 of those games is anything to be proud of. By those standards, Frye (who has struggled mightily this year) deserves a statue. Even the couple of games that Lopez has helped us this year are really nothing more than fairly routine performances for the center you keep trying to trade away for CAP space and chewing gum.

LOL. I have been waiting for the praise Lopez post from Slinslin. I knew it was coming...it was just a matter of time.

Lopez hasn't done jack for this organization. If your going to hang your hat on the few times he actually helped us win it's pathetic. I remember some games where Warrick came off the bench to help us win some games as well. So what?

There have been more games where Lopez contributed to horrible bench play giving up leads versus helping.

All hail Lopez. Down with Gortat!

 

[jagu]

Let's sign Lopez to a max contract for that one game where he actually was a kind of useful 7 footer. and release Gortat. What's Lopez +/- ?

His (+) is that he can throw a quality tantrum and his (-) is that it seems to be his only strength.

Oh come on Steve.....you don't understand advanced stats the way Slinslin does.
