Knicks Suns 1/7/11

[Mainstreet]

It's like looking at an accident, you don't want to look, but you can't help it. The Suns are getting worse as the season goes on. We were somewhat competitive early this year. Now we look completely lost, even at some times when Nash is on the court even!

When a team loses an All-Star PF and and also a player like JRich, well the outcome now seems inevitable despite hope upon hope.

 

[WuRaider]

So? It's not that we are jealous of the Knicks. We are still trying to play that same style except we are worse and don't have Amare anymore.

Been saying forever that we need to change philosophies and well that requires a complete fire sale.

Yup, Gentry has been trying to direct another dude's script and has failed because the best actor is gone. Time to blow it up. Fire Gentry and trade away everyone but Dudley, Dragic, and Gortat.

Both players people thought were flawed, but now it looks like they were really under appreciated.

Sarver is angry:

You must be registered for see images

That almost makes up for the game. Almost.

Um, why again is Gortat a keeper? He's no better than Lou Amundson and while he's nice to have, he's not someone to build around.

 

[Proteus]

Ugh. Suns lose 121-96. Just pathetic from the Suns.

 

[AfroSuns]

Where are those claiming preseason is preseason. Said it preseason when we got blown out by raptors twice, that we are the Nets of the West. Sad to see how very true that statement is turning out to be.

Thanks gentry for failing.

Suns are over easy, no longer sunny side up. Gentry is toast, Lopez would be the soy sausage, Nash has to be the bacon, he is still tasty but is old and brittle.
Hill is the butter, his play is butter (that means good for you elders out there), Gortat is looking like a Polish pancake, Frye has to be all the stuff that lands on the stove that doesn't make it in the pan , because he always misses.
Dragic would be a crepe, can be delicious but gets rolled and can be to girly. Carter is a waffle, you can figure that one out.
Now I am hungry.

Hey at least Gortat could be a center for the Suns. He plays D.

I think Gortat and Dudley at least TRY to get rebounds. Not sure anyone else on the team even tries. You keep Gortat because we need a center that can guard other centers in the NBA. We haven't had many of those in Phoenix over the decades.

Pure silliness

Myth.

The Suns have no keepers except Dudley maybe.

And probably Lopez since he is cheap and has no value right now plus some upside at least.

A season ago the Suns were one of the four best teams in the NBA then Sarver tries to replace Amare with Frye, Warrick, Chidress and Turoglu. It's not the philosphy as it is the Suns lost a couple of excellent players in Amare and JRich and replaced them with role players.

They replaced JRich with Carter and Pietrus that is not a downgrade.

It wouldn't break my heart to trade Gortat but I wouldn't trade him just to get rid of him. If someone has a need and wants to give real value, by all means move him. He's serviceable but nothing more than that.

i bet the magic would disagree with you.

 

[Cheesebeef]

was it just a week ago that someone obviously high on paint thinner said that Gortat had more value than Josh Smith and was a more promising big man?

wow this team...

 

[IBleedPurpleAndOrange]

Pietrus is terrible. terrible shooter and dont see this defensive presence he had been rumored to have. Gortat isnt a world beater either. I now see why the magic pulled the trigger on the trade. they are on an 8 game win streak after they had lost 8 of 9 before the trade. suns now have lost 8 of 9.

 

[desertdawg]

Our whole team is trade bait that nobody else wants.

 

[Yuma]

We should offer a young team like Oklahoma, that could make the playoffs a veteran package of Nash, Hill, and Carter to put them over the top! LOL! As long as we get some money back, and a bucket load of second round picks, it's all good, right???

 

[Cheesebeef]

I mean... can anyone remember a more embarrassing loss in the last ten years than tonight?

I mean, not only are we terrible, but we were playing our old coach... with our own former All-Star... at HOME and got absolutely, positively CURBSTOMPED.

Even the announcers called us embarrassing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Thanks gentry for failing.

It's always blame it on the coach when in actuality the Suns do not have enough talent or the right blend of talent to win. Gentry is not the one making FO decisions regarding player personnel.

 

[Proteus]

It's now 4 games in a row that the Suns haven't scored at least 100 points.

If we're gonna keep on losing let's at least be exciting and scoring points.

 

[JS22]

I guess holding Gasol to 6 points was a myth.
