That guy Robin Lopez is an embarrassment to the NBA.

Get him off the floor as soon as you can.

When ever you miss the playoffs, but you have the highest scoring bench in the NBA, YOUR COACH SUCKS. (HE IS STARTING THE WRONG PLAYERS)

We shouldn't have been in that position in the first place, but that was quite possibly the worst officiated game I've seen this season. And that's saying a lot.

Y'know, when Gortat broke his nose in the 4th quarter and Gentry slid Frye over to Center and brought in Warrick at Power Forward, it made a statement. Lopez is our #3 Center/starting Center.

I don't think it was because of his 4 fouls. If Lopez picked up another two near the end of the game, he would have been . . . on the bench.

We know that Gentry wouldn't dare play Lopez with the game on the line. Now the rest of the league knows it, too.

I REALLY hope we're seeing the last of Steve Nash. Could this team come back next year as currently constructed and hope for zero injuries with Nash and Hill at 37 and 38 respectively? sure. but for what purpose? to win 47 games and get our asses kicked in the playoffs?

Please Sarver. You're coming off the most ******** off-season I've ever seen. realize it's time to let go of this team, get what you can for the old guys and start rebuilding around Frye/Gortat and whoever our lotto pick ends up being.

note: I'm also saying this because I want to see Nash have one or two more chances at a title with a team that can legitimately challenge for one. that ain't us. if there's a deal to be made, make it and let's all move on with good memories and look toward a new future.

Could not disagree more. I became a Suns fan because of Nash and I'll probably stop watching when he leaves unless somebody special comes in to replace him.

But even for people who don't love the guy, I don't understand the eagerness to dump our best player. Gortat and frye are playing well, but a big part of that is Nash spoon feeding them open looks.

The current starting five are, what, 20 - 10? That translates to a 54 win season, which is pretty damn good, last time I checked. And getting a decent player for Carter will help even more. I want to see this group give it another run next year.

Lopez is never in when the game matters, my only guess is that Gentry doesn't consider the start of the ...

Bro, every time we go and say everything that we say, we get crushed. I don't have much more in me. Ping Pong.

Injuries brought down what looked like a promising run to the playoffs.

First Frye
Then Nash's hip
Then the final nail in the coffin with Gortat's nose.

We were looking more and more like a solid team when we had health on our side.

Maybe, just maybe, Lopez can come in pissed off and have a killer game. He does respond when he is angry, I hope the fro goes wild. :D

You won't like him when he's angry...

or happy
or sad
