Kings @ Suns

[slinslin]

Wow our wing players are soft missing all those layups because they want to avoid the contact.

 

[Proteus]

Suns shooting 21% as they're down 12-14 with 5:46 left in the 1st quarter.

I don't expect much in terms of defense or rebounding from our guys but can they at least buy a bucket?

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 25-21 with 2:37 left in the 1st quarter. Suns now shooting 37%.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 35-26 after the 1st quarter. Suns shooting 39% with 3/7 3 pointers, Kings 42% with 3/5 3 pointers.

Suns have hit 14/16 free throws to 3/5 for the Kings.

Amare has 7 rebounds already.

 

[Hat]

WTF is with the late whistles for the Kings? It's like Donaghy is reffing the game.

 

[Ronin]

Lopez with his third foul....6 points for him.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 48-42 with 5:55 left in the 2nd quarter.

 

[Ronin]

Nice defense by Amare.

 

[Ronin]

Grant hill is off...

 

[Ronin]

Kings are up by one

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 50-51 with 2:39 left in the 2nd quarter as the Suns can't buy a bucket or guard the 3.

 

[Ronin]

Amare with the circus shot

 

[AfroSuns]

What the heck, if we can only shoot jump shots against the lowly Kings. We are going to get destroyed against the Lakers if the ball doesnt fall for them tomorrow

[Proteus]

Suns up 60-55 after the 2nd quarter. Suns are shooting 38% with 5/11 3 pointers, Kings 40% with 6/14 3 pointers.

Suns with 9 offensive rebounds, Kings 10.

Suns have committed 4 turnovers, Kings 7.

Suns have hit 19/22 free throws, Kings have hit 11/15 free throws.

Amare has 13 rebounds (5 offensive) already.

The Suns have played hard, they just can't shoot.

I like the adjustment Gentry has done for this game. We are intentionally trying to reduce ball handling by Nash. At times, it will push us into a more difficult positions than would be with Nash dribbling. But we can only learn from failure. We did the right decisions mostly. Kings came back to the game during a stretch when the ball went to Hill who missed several jumpers, while Amare was a little hesitant and settled for jumpers after he got stripped down low one time. I like this development. Despite only 3 assts and shooting only 3/10 by Nash, he gets a +6 on +/-. It's good experiment.

The Suns bread and butter is the jump shot. I don't see it changing with the players on their roster. The Suns cannot defend the middle nor rebound with the other good teams. This is why the Suns cannot be considered a contender.

 

[Ronin]

big 3 by nash!

 

[slinslin]

Who is this guy with the #1 jersey? Havent seen him in some time..

 

[Ronin]

17 rebounds for amare

Guard the 3 and stop giving up 2nd 2nd chance points guys.

 

[Proteus]

Suns and Kings tied at 90 with 8:08 left in the 4th quarter.

 

[Ronin]

wow! The Suns were looked shocked that Nocioni took that shot.

 

[Hat]

Another late whistle...ridiculous.

 

[Ronin]

Frye!
