Clippers at Suns

[Proteus]

Dismall first half shooting. Let's hope we got hot in the second half. I just started watching, how the heck has Nash been held to only 2 assists?

Hard to get assists when guys aren't hitting shots. Plus all the turnovers by the Suns.

41% shooting for the game against the Thunder (probably a lot lower after the hot start) and 39% shooting in the 1st half against the Clippers. That's not good.

 

[Proteus]

Horrible picture of Barkley as a woman.

 

[Budden]

Haha, that was a very funny sequence the TNT crew had. Kenny saying "why didn't you just learn how to defend the pick and roll" to Shaq.

Even though Barkley said the Suns should be tanking wouldn't say he ever did or would have lost a single game on purpose. Expecting others to have less pride than he has is silly. In my opinion, any one who would ever consider lose a game on purpose shouldn't get a chance to get on the court in the first place. Those are the guys you trade to other teams who don't know any better, you put on the IR, or at least you Lamar Odom the dude. Because if the team ever does get good, we're going to need role players who have the right mentality.

what good does having heart do if you have no talent?

I've already got a Cardinals shirt with the slogan "At least we tried" on it. the idea that the Suns become that makes me sick.

Keep fighting the good fight for quiting, it doesn't even get to me anymore. No sell outs this year but the hardcore still show, because the team still shows. Teams leave towns when they are as bad as you wish to be. Teams draft Oden when Durant is around, our Owner sucks, we aint winning any championships with your plan, but by all means, start a club...you guys will look tough with tee-shirts that have tanks on them. I plan on enjoying the playoffs, even if we lose, but it will be harder if you don't enoy the playoffs and you constantly post about it. Your a cool dude, use this writing skill you have for better things amigo, Sarver aint listening and Nash doesn't have a quitiing bone in his body. I don't have much talent, but I have heart, can't judge myself but I sleep well, with a hot chick so I got that going for me.

What do you want for the tee shirt? I got 5 on it.

 

[desertdawg]

I wonder if Gentry goes Hack-A-Griff again at the end of this game if it is close. Lol they just said it on TV.

 

[Proteus]

Mad scramble leads to a Dudley 3 to cut the Clipper lead to 3 after being 9 a bit before that.

 

[Budden]

Look at my two main dudes, Nash and Dudley! Man, with the commentary plus the Suns play, these last 10 minutes are like an educational event for the "let's lose"ers on this board.

If you're lucky, you might get 8 ot 9 years in this league. I know some people view this whole thing as a business, but it's the whole reason why people pay any money to watch the game that makes it all worth while. Wanting a guy like Dudley or Nash to give up a season, a whole year of their career gone, is wanting to give up that which makes this game great.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 71-69 after the 3rd quarter.

Suns battling hard. Suns gotta cut down on their turnovers and shoot better though.

That was a bad foul by Telfair in the back court on Paul.

LOL... ok. Teams leave town because owners want to move them. Not because they suck.

Teams draft Oden when Durant is around, our Owner sucks, we aint winning any championships with your plan,

we ain't even getting to the playoffs with this plan. So why stick with it? And again, I'm not advocating the players quit. but the FO should have thrown in the towel a long time ago instead of running the charade they have been for the last two years. You like purgatory and losing forever. That's okay. I'd rather rebuild and take a shot at actually putting together a future. That's your perogative. Not a very fun one IMO, but it's your life.

but by all means, start a club...you guys will look tough with tee-shirts that have tanks on them. I plan on enjoying the playoffs, even if we lose

this is what I REALLY don't get. You'll enjoy the playoffs... even if we're losing? I think that is where we differ as fans.

, but it will be harder if you don't enoy the playoffs and you constantly post about it.

eh... if we make it, I won't root for us to lose. No point at that point.

Your a cool dude, use this writing skill you have for better things amigo,

lol... I have been.

Sarver aint listening

probably because there's enough people like you who make him believe what he's doing is good enough. Therein lies the problem IMO.

and Nash doesn't have a quitiing bone in his body.

True... but he doesn't have many healthy bones in his body anymore either and it's been evident the second half of seasons for the last 4 years.

I don't have much talent, but I have heart, can't judge myself but I sleep well, with a hot chick so I got that going for me.

that's great? Heart can get you a girl... but heart doesn't win jack in sports unless you have talent.

Oh no you didn't!! Just chop up my **** and go debate team on me? I gotta watch the rest of the game, gotta stay focused, rootin for the home team. But I have tomorrow off.

[Mainstreet]

Griffin is such an actor. He is always grabbing his face after a foul not that Lopez didn't foul him.

yeah. he went full soccer player there. it was a hard foul, but he didn't touch his face.

 

[desertdawg]

lol.

I think we differ as fans, and I do get your side but if you give an inch up in here on where your opinion stands, your **** gets twisted...you know how it is. But if we were neighbors,(we kinda are as Suns Fans) I see being a team that can compete as being a valuable commodity. I too would love a championship but I don't think there is one in our near future with either of our plans, so playoffs is where I want to be. I guess thats a better way to express my opinion, no title either way is my guess. I don't think draft picks will get us back, it will be a new GM, Coach, and attitude...that's and all ownership. If you truly have faith in our ownership (I do not at the moment) or if you truly want the Suns to win every game (I do), than it becomes the type of team you root for that makes you a better you, not just bragging about banners. With them through thick and thin, (that goes for both the Card and Suns anatomically speaking), we aint the best, but we will always do our best. Usually means 8 round seed or Wildcard these days, better to get laid than to ******** to a hottie later.

it's just that this team bores the crap out of me... and they're not good. that's a bad combo.

at least with Cards, when we were bad, we were ALWAYS entertaining... usually for the wrong reasons, but it was always an experience of some sort. This current Suns team just has no juice whatsoever... and for a guy who was raised on the Suns being the crown jewel of Phoenix, watching what they've become with no hope in sight has just destroyed my fandom.

Gortat neeeds to attack the bucket WTF!

 

[Proteus]

Frye posts up Paul.

yeah... that play was as soft as charmin toilet paper.

 

[desertdawg]

nash needs to earn that check tonight, Paul always ****s with him.

 

[Budden]

Against Chris Paul, Gortat has it wide open 3 feet away from the basket with no one else near him. And he shoots an off-balance, left-handed hook shot falling away from the basket. Against Chris Paul!!!!!!!

Then he taps a Shannon Brown miss out of bounds. Gortat must go. He needs to not be on this team.

I'm a machine fan, he's hit a soft patch as of late but I expect big things from him and Nash come playoff time. Throw stones here

 

[desertdawg]

Studley!!!

 

[desertdawg]

Morris needs to smack Paul in the head!
