Jazz at Suns FSN AZ 7PM

[pokerface]

It will be interesting to see what coach wants to coach an aging team with no appreciable future, with a cheap and meddlesome owner, playing in the hardest conference in basketball.

Cheap owner? Arnt tht Suns top 5 or 10 in payroll?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I don't know why everybody is so upset. Suns played a great game, Bell finally made some threes, Shaq was amazing, as was Amare. Great game, even if they messed up in the last few minutes. They look better, much better.

Shaq was terrible. His defense was just awful on the pick and roll. He was -15. That isn't amazing.

Hey idiot, I know they run the play all the time. But I have no faith that Barbosa can hit that in a CLUTCH situation.

Try comprehending what I write before you critique it you moron.

why did you have to call him idiot and moron???

 

[Phade]

well good get off our board phade you bandwagon loser

name calling is super cool.

i was kidding but..

wahhhhh were not gonna make the playoffs

wahhh were gonna get destroyed by the spurs on sunday...

worst bunch of fans i've ever seen in my life..

i dont even know why i come to this forum its like its a bunch of women/kids..

 

[mjb21aztd]

i'm by the way were playing phade i've been a true fan of the suns for for along time so don't even question my fan hood of this team

 

[French Fries]

My point is that a 7'1 265lb guy shouldn't be camping behind the 3pt line all night launching 3's. The guy is terrified of the paint.....which is what makes him a woman.

who cares if he looks like a woman, or a monkey, or a brocolli, if the shots are falling then he's effective...

 

[btimsah]

why did you have to call him idiot and moron???

Because his comment was both idiotic and moronic?

 

[Cheesebeef]

My point is that a 7'1 265lb guy shouldn't be camping behind the 3pt line all night launching 3's. The guy is terrified of the paint.....which is what makes him a woman. Hell, there are tougher women in the WNBA.

and that woman just beat our ass. That makes us his bitch. What's worse?

Man, I have zero faith this team will EVER be good until Sarver sells them. That should be in about three years when we're awful, pickless and Amare bolts in FA.

Hey idiot, I know they run the play all the time. But I have no faith that Barbosa can hit that in a CLUTCH situation.

Sorry but you need a small cool off period. I understand people are upset but we need to not call other people idiot and moron.

Yes a cheap owner. The owner who sells of repeated draft picks and servicible bench players.

Was that a joke?I am serious,I thought you are joking.
He's one of the best 3 pointer at that height,others are Nowitzki and Rasheed.Good long range shooter centers are always good to have.Because their defender center won't follow him behind the arc,plus despute shooting a lot,he had 14 boards.

I can name one - Chicago game from last year, other then that, he's trash with that stupid play.

 

[pokerface]

Yeah he does that because his payroll is so big...no?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I would take Okur over Shaq in a heartbeat.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We are the most profitable franchise in the NBA the last 3 years. This is an undisputed fact. The Suns could have kept all their draft picks, Kurt Thomas, and James Jones and still made more money than the Spurs.

This is also a fact. When you make the most money and refuse to spend more to maintain competitiveness you are cheap.

 

[KingLouieLouie]

Moral victories don't mean much whatsoever.

I'm so beyond disgusted at the moment. D'Antoni should have used Skinner and even Linton Johnson to match-up against Okur and Boozer (they could have provided even much more physicality).

Why does he insist on playing Diaw? The worst contract extension ever. A player who epitomizes the "1 Hit Wonder" label. Why did he warrant such a maxed-out contract...especially based on a small sample-size.

An 8 man rotation w/a staggering 5 players playing 30+ minutes, which is the worst considering the fast-pace basketball the Suns have to play.

I don't know, I'm beyond livid and have finally joined the let's terminate D'Antoni bandwagon.

People who blame Sarver must realize that he was the one who was willing to invest in maxed-out deals on Diaw/Barbosa, was willing to acquire Shaq, in prior years signed the likes of Jim Jackson, Tim Thomas, Jalen Rose, etc (when he simply could have just taken the easy way out and refused to upgrade the team when it was necessary).

People lament that Sarver was cheap because he traded all those draft choices. Again, everyone constantly overlooks it's D'Antoni who refuses to coach rookies (Strawberry should also be averaging at least 7-mins for some defensive spark).

Oh well, perhaps now we all the know the truth, that [SIZE=-1]Iavaroni probably was the true mastermind. Oh well... unfortunately he's not here to succeed D'Antoni.

[shazaam6]

suns fans are you ready ?

lets get it on!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah he does that because his payroll is so big...no?

in sports, when you value money over winning, especially at the cusp of a title, yeah, that's considered cheap. It doesn't help that Forbes has the Suns listed amongst the most profitable franchises year after year after year as we hurt not only our present, but our future as well as we decimate the bench, while selling off draft picks.

 

[mojorizen7]

D'Antoni will probably be the scapegoat for the GM and the Owner this next year.

Let it be. Call it what you will. The man believes that scoring more points solves everything, he believes that Boris Diaw is all-world, he believes in short rotations.
The SUNS 4 year defensive problems aren't a result of Steve Kerr and to a certain extent...Sarver and his penny pinching.
We can argue all day whether or not DA preaches defense in practice.... because the fact is,for whatever reason, Mike cannot get his teams to commit to and/or play defense. There have been a slew of players come thru his regime and the song remains the same. Its not rocket science.
Mike D will have success and less scrutiny in Europe where his philosophy belongs.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And just so you know, the Suns are #10 in payroll, not in the top 5. They are virtually median for a NBA payroll.

 

[passenger]

I would take Okur over Shaq in a heartbeat.

Exactly,If we had him as a center,I'm sure Nash would average minimum 15 assists for the season.His 3's and offensive boards killed us today.

 

[mjb21aztd]

so seriously where does this drop us in the playoff seed now?

 

[jagu]

we suck
