Nash 9 assists, 10 TO...

 

[az1965]

Grab the freakin' rebounds!!!

 

[HooverDam]

that last wild shot by Nash probably cost the Suns the game.

Offensive foul on Amare, games over.

It was the complete inability to stop anybody when it counts cost the Suns the game as it has all season.

Fabulous!! 1-5!!!

I can't believe this ****!

Man this sucks! I am sad

Arizona vs Dallas ...

Coyotes vs Stars - Lose
Suns vs Mavs - Lose
Cardinals vs Cowboys - ???

Yes our lack of D is too much.

Why do we pick up guys like Pike, Ju Jones? We are so overstoked with swingmen its killing our versatility.

We are f&&king terrible right now.

Banks is a joke.

Man i'm not happy. This is just not good enough. If it keeps up Mike D will be without a job.

yup - we just gave up 120 points to THE WORST OFFENSIVE TEAM IN THE LEAGUE SO FAR.

I want to be optimistic, but I just don't see how this team is possibly gonna get better on defense - they are BEYOND pathetic on the defensive end and about as unclutch as coould possibly be - that's a BAADDDDDDDDDD combo.

I think I might go jump off a bridge. We are six games into the season, take a chill pill.

Nash had a pretty bad game tonight, I hope his hip gets better by the next game. I liked what I saw out of Amare, but was disappointed again with Diaw. He had many opportunities to take advantage of mismatches, like he did in the playoffs last year, but he just passed it around the perimeter. The defense was terrible once again, even worse than the second half of last year. Also, it really bothers me when we take a 3-pointer and we don't even make an attempt to crash the offensive boards, letting the Mavs have an uncontested rebound.

Can't even beat a sinking mavs team without Josh Howard.

Suns going to have to battle to get into the playoffs.

 

[az1965]

That's two games in a row missing key free throws in closing moments in a very close game...

But there are problems you just can't ignore??

These are valuable games we are losing to teams we will be (hopefully) fighting for key playoff positions.

Please answer this honestly, how old are you? Because from your posts I'm going to guess 16. Its 6 games in, the Suns should have no problem going 7-2 the rest of the month and and finishing the month above .500.

I can't believe this ****!

Ba ba da da unbelievable!!!







Suns will still make the playoffs!

Getting outrebounded 37 to 25 also killed us. This is a very frustrating loss. Wish we had defensive stops. Marion getting 6 rebounds is not going to cut it. Nash with 10 turnovers is amazing! I hope he is okay because he was knocked around a lot tonight. The freethrow disparity was once again apparent again tonight. Maybe not an excuse but it sure hurts when you don't get respected in your own house.

 

[az1965]

They may eventually pull out of this crap... but losing ALWAYS sucks... this is not an enjoyable stretch at all.

What's irks me is that Banks, Jumaine Jones, and Kurt Thomas were supposedly good defenders before they arrived here. Now they can barely guard their own shadows which makes me think it might be schematic or coaching.

When our only rebounder (Marion) is the one shooting the (missed) three, it's not that easy.

do you know what's SOOOOOOOOO messed up? Going into the fall, we were supposed to see the BEST CARDINALS AND SUNS TEAMS EVER! And what do we have right now? Notonly are neither team living up to expectations...

THEY ARE BOTH THE WORST TEAMS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE LEAGUES!

Phoenix - you are host to the worst team in the NBA and NFL! That's quite a feat!

UGH!

A team that has lost 5 of 6 games and just lost to the previously worst team in the league will have no problem ripping off a 7-2 spurt? I'd like to ask how old are you? Do you believe in the tooth fairy? There's NOTHING that we've seen so far that says the Suns will be able to stop ANYONE from scoring. How is that going to change?

Is it just me or is Marion looking tired in these games and not as interested as he should be? Diaw is way too passive still and who was Dirk guarding? Whoever he was guarding should have taken it into him to get him in foul trouble. I like Rose's limited amount of time on the court. I like him better than Banks right now, at least he can shoot and had a great lob to Marion. I am encouraged by Amare's play, did you see him dive on the floor for the ball? Scared me when he did that so I hope he is okay tomorrow. But that was the hustle we need from all the guys on the court all of the time. Nash is obviously hurting and gave his all tonight. Barbosa played great but if we can not get stops we are going to have trouble against elite teams.
