I don't know. Just when I think the same thing (that it is a total waste) he does something well. Let's not forget that he is an old, injured player tried to defend the biggest, most prominent player in the NBA.

Besides, if you throw him on the injured list the Phoenix Suns will have to play four guards and one big man at the same time.

Not sure if this is good or bad, but as soon as Scott Williams comes back, I think Googs will be the one whose minutes suffer the most.

Anything that gets googs outta the rotation is good.

We have no fastbreak or second chance points, we get outrebounded and don't really get to the line. Yet we are still in the game against the best team.
And Shawn Marion isn't shooting well.

 

[slinslin]

Rockets lost at home against the Grizzlies! Makes me feel better.

Although Gasol and J-Will didn't do anything really.

 

[tobiazz]

What a terrible call!! Kobe jumps horizontally into a still Penny. Unbelievable. The Lakers _don't_ need help.

 

[Pimpin]

Violet Palmer should be ashamed of herself after that BS call.

 

[Chaz]

Amare had a nice push there to end the third.

Nice 3 by Penny.

We still have a good shot in this game. We have managed to hang around.
Win or lose this could be a good experience for the young Suns.

Why exactly did we ever draft Casey?

Can't be for his outside range.

 

[hcsilla]

I really like Casey Jacobsen.He is such a great sharps-shooter.

 

[Billythekid]

suns are playing tough.

Some bad calls. we're not playing great but still very much in this game.

Al McCoy just said Frank Stallone is attending JC's Roast.

WTF was that call, with JJ being pushed.

 

[slinslin]

Joe Johnson and Penny Hardaway with important baskets.

 

[slinslin]

Can the Lakers miss when the game is getting close?

They alway score when we are about to get the lead.

 

[Pimpin]

We gotta start hitting these open jumpers.

Shawn just cant be missing wide open 10ft'ers.

It's funny how these two show up and disappear on games at the same time

JJ almost traveled on that one. If he played under control like Penny, I think he would be much better. He seems a little too wild. When he drives, I always get tense.

Then on the other end Shawn Marion misses a wide-open 10 ft. jump shot. I swear he can't shoot unless someone challenges his shot.

I don't think Penny is doing it on purpose, he has no choice but to play slow because of his knees

 

[tobiazz]

Voskuhl is frustrating Shaq. See that mug!! This is great.

 

[slinslin]

Shawn Marion MAKE a shot!

 

[sly fly]

BIGGEST SHOT OF JJ'S CAREER!

 

[Pimpin]

WOOOOHOOOOOOOO!

Hell yeah!

 

[slinslin]

JJ puts the Suns 1 ahead!

 

[Billythekid]

JJ!!!!

Wow. Lil Jake!! Gotta love his efforts against shaq.

We can take this one!!

 

[wager323]

hope shaq fouls out

True, but, even when Penny was fast, he didn't go full speed all the time. It seems like JJ always goes full bore and that is what makes him lose his dribble and miss open players. He just needs to calm down a lot of the time.
