Cavaliers at Suns Game Thread

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are not playing any defense. They cannot go out and just outscore teams anymore.

 

[FArting]

Brown replacing Hill at the start of the 3rd quarter. We need more production from Dudley or Hill.

 

[FArting]

Hill is out for the rest of the game.

 

[jagu]

Emm.. defense?

 

[jagu]

My boy Marcin!

Suns down by 8 entering the 4th quarter

Cavs 79
Suns 71

 

[Absolute Zero]

Good D by Suns to end the quarter

Nash took the young fella to school a couple of times, good to see

Amazing how Warrick can get the hell hacked out of him, but never seems to get a foul called

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 79-71 after the 3rd quarter. Suns shooting 45% with 8/17 3 pointers, Cavs 46% with 8/16 3 pointers.

From being neck and neck with the Lakers in LA midway in the 4th quarter to this.

 

[Mainstreet]

Price cannot hit a shot. Nash in.

 

[jagu]

The Suns offense is lacking that punch.

Second Chance Points

The Polish Hammer is just sending everything back.

 

[Absolute Zero]

5 Blocks for the mad pole!

Funny how Irving gets the "Jordan rules" even as a rook

 

[Absolute Zero]

Suns look old and tired. Cavs young and fresh.

 

[Proteus]

Suns lose 101-90.

 

[jagu]

Take away the guard play by over playing P&R and that's the end of a coherent Suns offense.

Yep... one of those old guys sat out the game today.

 

[Proteus]

So who guarded Irving most of the time?

 

[slinslin]

Funny if you cant even beat the Cavs when Morris and Gortat have such nice games.

 

[jagu]

So who guarded Irving most of the time?

Considering the fact that I watched the game on my laptop and was 2 feet away from the screen, I guarded him the closest.

Can I just say that I hate Shannon Brown's game... the guy is a black hole and almost every shot he takes is a bad shot (well contested). Sure, some of them go in, but they are bad shots. He destroys the offensive flow of this team by being such a selfish player. He gambles on defense trying to get steals & it usually ends up making everyone else scramble & commit fouls.

I'm ready to bench Brown & Hakeem Warrick... both may score 10-14ppg if they get playing time, but both are negatives when they're on the court even when they're scoring and extremely negative when they can't score. They play very little defense, they can't rebound or pass, the don't handle the ball well, their offense is erratic... the only thing they do well is get to the free throw line by initiating contact and occasionally score some points while causing the team to give up even more points.

My rotation:
C: Gortat 32 minutes, Lopez 16 minutes
PF: Frye 32 minutes, Morris 16 minutes (less time for Frye if his shot is off)
SF: Hill 30 minutes, Redd 10 minutes, Dudley 8 minutes
SG: Dudley 28 minutes, Redd 20 minutes
PG: Nash 34 minutes, Price 14 minutes

Nice one!

the Cavs had the best player in the league, we're at the top of it and fell all the way to the bottom... and are ALREADY not only better than us, but in a better position for the future simply because they got the number one pick and have ONE dynamic player to build around.

but yeah... at least Nash keeps putting butts in the seats... oh wait... he doesn't. WTF IS THE PLAN WITH THIS MEDIOCRE PIECE OF CRAP TEAM?!

 

[jagu]

WTF IS THE PLAN WITH THIS MEDIOCRE PIECE OF CRAP TEAM?!

With the 13th pick in the 2012 draft, the Phoenix Suns select..

 

[dziki]

with 15th they took nash, with 13th morris, with 57th gortat and so on.

don`t be too pesimistic. let`s hope everything will be ok
