[AfroSuns]

Suns struggling shooting the FTs tonight.

 

[AfroSuns]

Can we just bring in the second unit. sheesh

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 77-68 after the 3rd quarter. The Suns biggest lead was 14 points. Suns shooting 53% with 3/9 3 pointers, Kings 41% with 5/16 3 pointers.

Suns (Nash and Turkoglu with 2) and Kings have both committed 9 turnovers.

Suns have 10 offensive rebounds, Kings 15.

Suns have hit 10/19 free throws, Kings have hit 7/11 free throws.

So-so quarter by the Suns. Hopefully the Suns can get the win and Nash a triple double (needs 1 assist and 4 rebounds).

If Channing Frye is afraid to shoot maybe its best he doesn't play.

 

[Proteus]

Ugly basketball to start off the 4th quarter.

 

[Proteus]

Nice hook shot by Warrick on the offensive rebound of his own miss.

 

[jagu]

Hakim!!!

 

[Proteus]

Nice 2 man game between Nash and Warrick leading to a 3 point play.

 

[jagu]

Hakim!!

 

[jagu]

Nash!!

 

[jagu]

Hakim baby!

 

[Proteus]

Nice fast break layup by Warrick after an assist from Nash.

Suns up 90-79 with 5:36 left in the 4th quarter.

Nash needs 3 rebounds for a triple double.

 

[Proteus]

Wow. Nash alleyoop to JRich.

 

[Proteus]

Wow. What a dunk by Warrick.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 96-85 with 2:57 left in the 4th quarter.

Nash still needs 3 rebounds for a triple double.

 

[Bert]

Steve is on a mission tonight. Good to see him in top form.

Cmon' 3 rebounds!

 

[jagu]

Nash is amazing... I hope this Warrick/Nash combo continues.

 

[Proteus]

Warrick is close to the league lead in dunks.

 

[Proteus]

What a layup by Childress.

 

[Proteus]

Yay!!! Suns win 103-89. Pretty good game from the Suns.

Great game by Nash. Nash needs to work on his rebounding though as he only got 7 rebounds.

 

[Mainstreet]

Turkoglu should not be a starter for the Suns. The Suns paid a lot of money for him to be a bench player but this is where he belongs. Warrick deserves to start.

I know I'll get laughed off the board for this suggestion but since we obviously can't play "traditional basketball" why not go all the way. Start Nash, Richardson, Hill, Warrick and Hedo and play as fast as you can. It would be a massacre if we ever reached the 2nd season but it might give us our best chance of getting there.

Thanks for the play by play Proteus! Good recap for those of us that missed the game.

Turkoglu would slow this lineup down. It seems like it takes him forever when he tries to drive to the hoop. IMO, Turkoglu looks lethargic much of the time. I think Turkoglu looks the best when he sets up and takes the 3 point shot. Too often he hesitates doing this. Yes, I know the Suns wanted much more from him.

I don't think he would. He'd be playing the 5 (that hurts just typing it) and he's not slow by center standards. Very seldom do fast breaks involve all 5 guys and he could be pretty effective as the trailer. As for looking lethargic, I think that's pretty much always been the case.

I don't know how our team would integrate this but I think he'd make a better high post center than he would a power forward. He's not ideal for this team no matter what but he's too valuable for us to settle for what little we're getting from him now, IMO. Trade him or find a way to really play him.
