Houston at Suns thread

[Absolute Zero]

Big game tonight. Looks like the Rockets are a bit shorthanded due to injuries and just played last night against the Lakers. Lookin good for the Suns to get over 500 with a win tonight.

You mean the Clippers?

If Gortat continues to shoot free throws poorly other teams may employ hack-a-Gortat at the end of games.

Up by 10 early, gotta keep tough on these fools. No letting up.

 

[Mainstreet]

Robin Lopez is really playing well. He is looking like he may be a part of the Suns future. In retrospect, the Suns could have had another young player for the future in Dragic.

 

[desertdawg]

LMAO, I hope every "tank sayer" in here feels stupid.

 

[Mainstreet]

Michael Redd is looking like he can be a factor. He is playing as well as I can remember since arriving in Phoenix.

 

[jagu]

Redd is in the zone..

 

[sunsfan88]

Dragic vs Nash....so funny to watch

You must be registered for see images attach

 

[Mainstreet]

Nash is making some unbelievable passes. Dragic just made one as well.

 

[Griffin]

Michael Redd, welcome to the team.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have been reduced to playing garbage basketball at the moment.

 

[Mainstreet]

Finally the Suns replace Morris with Frye. Morris seemed content to shoot from outside again.

 

[sunsfan88]

Wow I have never seen Nash airball before...even though that really wasn't his fault since all his dum*** teammates wanted to remain glued to him giving him no room and shot clock was whining down.

I think Nash was unaware of the clock for some reason. The last couple of possessions they have been more concerned about running off time than running a play.

 

[Proteus]

Yay!!! Suns win 99-86. Good job Suns.

It's amazing that we're over .500 now.

 

[desertdawg]

Good mental win, stayed ahead like a superior team. Fropez is really getting it going, and there seems to be a new or different couple guys every game with the hot hands. Redd tonight was friggin burning!Gotta keep it up though.

 

[sunsfan88]

Awww Markieff saying "good game" to Marcus...ain't that cute!

 

[AfroSuns]

Nice win Suns

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns are serious about making a playoff run they need more than a rookie PF (Morris) content with the outside shot. I think a player like Turiaf would be a nice addition as a backup PF. Redd's emergence as a scorer has given the Suns a serious weapon. IMO, Morris is the weak link in the rotation.

 

[Proteus]

That was not a dunk by Dudley.

 

[sunsfan88]

I kinda want the Suns to rest their starters on Tuesday...there's no way in hell we're beating Miami and we play against Orlando the next day, a much more winnable game so no need to tire ourselves out before imo.

Morris is a rookie, one that plays well with this team. He has had some good nights too, and he will hopefully get some playoff experience this year. The team is what it is, I doubt there are any pick ups before the playoffs, we will run with who brought us. I hope it all keeps clicking.

I'm just saying a player like Turiaf could help the Suns bang inside with the bigger teams, which is needed, if they plan to more than flirt with the playoffs (or advancing in the playoffs). Morris is clearly a rookie making rookie mistakes like he did last night making two bad turnovers in a row in the second half, the latter apparently out of frustration. If the Suns are taking this playoff thing seriously, why not make a cheap move that could bolster their front line. The Suns would not be giving up on Morris.

Last night was just one night, Morris plays better than that on the regular. Every team can use an extra piece, but I'm good with Morris, I bet he kills in the next game. He needs to make rookie mistakes though, all of them do. It gets them to focus, learn from mistakes, and how to deal with high pressure situations.

Did you see how he didn't melt or bark at anybody right after the double turnover? He went back and dapped hands with his teamates, they re-grouped, and got the lead back up. If it was me, I aint tinkering with this squad. Gentry looks like he is stepping back and letting them do this thang, he might even have a job come next year if he keeps it up.
