Game Thread: Suns vs. Warriors

[Chaz]

The Suns need to tighten up the defense a little in the second half. Warriors are passing very well.

They def need to get Amare more involved in the offense.

Leander doesn't bug me to much. I do like EJ and they seem to have a pretty good rapport.

 

[fordronken]

I REALLY dislike these Warriors broadcasters.

 

[haverford]

I agree with Joe. The Suns guards seem to have zero interest in feeding the post, much less dishing off to Amare after a pick/screen and roll. Oddly, they've managed to do it with both White and Voskuhl, but never Amare. Maddening.

BTW, what is wrong with Jake's hair? It's like a modified Flock of Seagulls.....

Did you mean WNBA?

Whats this a 3's festival?

The Suns got an 8 pt lead by going full speed & FJ tells them to slow it down....... I'll bet you can guess the result of the change.

 

[Cheesebeef]

It's nice to see Amare boarding like a maniac tonight.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Why the hell is Casey Jacobsen coming in for AMARE? I was willing to give Frank the benefit of the doubt and even a little leeway after having last year's team play above expectations - but I am slowly beginning to hate him - with a passion isn't far away!

 

[Billythekid]

Yep. it's the small ball. Casey, JJ, Penny, Steph and Jake.
I too thought Casey coming in was strange. Amare has no fouls and is gobbling up the rebounds.


Well...

The change got us going.

 

[Wally]

Looks like small ball is working for now....... but, like I always say....

 

[KingLouieLouie]

The announcers commented that Amare has been gasping for air.....

ah-ha.

 

[Joe Mama]

Well, I was getting ready to criticize Frank Johnson for this latest lineup, but it has produced some quick points. Hopefully he doesn't stick with this too long.

I'm still not a Casey Jacobsen fan, but I do have to admit that he slowly looking a little bit better.

I think Frank has a bet with himself...He wants to see the smallest lineup he can put on the court and still win

Well, we're starting to loose the rebounds again and you know what I say about that.

 

[haverford]

Amare clearly needed a breather, but why not bring in Zarko, who is a pretty good rebounder and long body?

 

[KingLouieLouie]

Marion-4 fous
Voskuhl-3 fouls
White- 4 fouls + tech

Just hope Amare has enough stamina to last the remainder of the game or else we'll be treated to the Googs and Zarko hour....

Dunleavy rebounds over Amare!?!

 

[Joe Mama]

The referee helped Marbury out there. It should have been a turnover, but instead they called a weak foul on Mike Dunleavy Jr. The Suns need to keep going strong to the basket. It's time to get Shawn Marion back in the game also.

Dunleavy is a big guy, only half an inch shorter than Amare.

He is a pretty good rebounder to, hasn't he put up a couple double figure rebound games for you Joe?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Where is Zarko? It seemed like he was getting minutes the first week - what happened?

 

[Cheesebeef]

and as the game gets tighter, so does the noose around JJs neck. Come on man - step up!

 

[KingLouieLouie]

I'm impressed with Jacobsen....He seems to hit some clutch shots..

 

[Cheesebeef]

huge Steph.

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

Is Shawn sick or something? Or he just decide to take a backseat to JJ??
