Miami Heat @ Phoenix Suns, 11/17/2012

[Griffin]

So the Suns get to play the Heat again this month, again on the second night of a back-to-back, and again after Miami had a day's rest. Because Miami needs all the help they can get.

Perhaps we should start our bench, to highlight the inequity of it.

On second thought, the bench might allow us to play the 1st quarter without falling 10 points behind.

 

[JS22]

This is going to be a disaster.

 

[Phrazbit]

Wade and LeBron may not play. So... chance we cover the spread?

 

[Magnus]

We will obviously win this game because that will make us closer to the .500 mark around which the team will hover this year. The Heat are a gazillion times better, but Phoenix is just crazy enoguh to pull out a shocking W.


Yay. Go Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns thus far are shooting a shutout.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lebron off to the locker room.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lebron is back on the bench. The game is tied after the first quarter. Dragic is playing very well especially on defense with 3 steals.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I know he probably won't stay healthy but O'Neal really looks good out there.

Much better than I thought he would play.

 

[Griffin]

Beasley with a +1 for the half. This may be a new career high.

 

[95pro]

Morris can't even make a lob pass for a soaring brown.

 

[Sonec]

just have to say this; I really don't like Gentry's substitutions, why wouldn't he put first unit back in when we were leading by 9, 6 minutes or sth like that to go in 2q. But no and there goes our lead... Goran had great first quarter but only played 2 minutes, ok maybe a bit more in this part, Gortat? Scola? Way to go Gentry..

 

[95pro]

Man the heat are allowed to get away with so much.

Was reading something about top ten players gettin the most favored calls. Wade, lebron, and bosh were all included.

 

[Sonec]

Beasley with a +1 for the half. This may be a new career high.

LOL...Common have faith in him, good things might happen when people will start to believe in him. He's demonstrating us today he can be a heck of a player.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beasley with a +1 for the half. This may be a new career high.

I'll say one thing for Beasley, he seems to be giving a lot of effort to fit with the Suns as a team player. I think Gentry would be happy if he just shot the ball. He is trying to pass the ball and draw contact more on his shots.

I think Dragic has been sitting on the bench for way too long. He plays well, but he seems to have trouble getting back into his groove in the second quarter. I'd like to see him come in around the 8 minute mark in the second quarter as opposed to 4 or 5 minute marks.

yep, it seems so. But at the same time that's normal to get out of the groove, if you're benched for almost whole quarter. you start thinking why you're sitting too. He just can't be productive(assists) from the bench. He needs more minutes for sure, the more the better.

 

[95pro]

Where's the foul? Guess the nba aint letting tucker guard lebron tonight

 

[jagu]

Yawn..

 

[Griffin]

And now they Suns have trailed by double digits in 10 of their first 11 games.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have terrible ball movement.

 

[95pro]

Brown keeps thinking he's Kobe.

 

[jagu]

Brown keeps thinking he's Kobe.

I like it. At least he can score on his own. Let him do it. What's the worst that can happen?

 

[Mainstreet]

Brown keeps thinking he's Kobe.

On some nights he indeed wears a cape but not very often.
