Coach and Marion going at it. Jeez.

 

[Ronin]

Too make matters worst Shawn Marion and D'antoni (for about 45 seconds)were going at during the last time out.

Coach and Marion going at it. Jeez.

prolly cause he chucked up a shot with like 10 sec on the clock with like 45 sec left in the game

 

[Cheesebeef]

this team really just looks like they don't believe in themselves, in wins and losses.

 

[BuddyFranklin]

Marion is the type of guy that would be upset because Amare has had a good game. Sad... but true. He's an egomaniac.

 

[krispydude]

we just get lazy in the 4th it seems like. we get lazy and the other team shoots lights out.

 

[Cheesebeef]

oh well, it wasn't pretty, but we're back at .500 and playing as atrocious as we still are playing and we're only 2 games back gives me some hope but man, I want to see this team actually start putting people away.

 

[Folster]

How many times did Amare get the ball in that scoreless six minutes? Amare needs to be the closer late in the game. It can't be done by jumpshooters.

 

[Nashfan]

Boy, does this team have to give us a heart attacks? Just cannot seem to stay interested in keeping a lead and put our foot on the other teams throat when they are down. Especially embarrasing against the other teams bench!

 

[Nash]

I love how this team keeps us glued to the end of the game. Just when it looks like a blowout, they make sure they get our adrenalin going with some downright sh*tty play.
Marion was horrible in the last 6 mins, with his ugly outside shooting.
disgusting game.
marcus effin williams outscored our entire team in the last quarter.
*puke*

 

[Sunshooter]

Williams beat Suns at 4th Qtr

 

[Nashfan]

Agree, Folster!

 

[BuddyFranklin]

And as someone posted earlier i'd like to see Rose in more and being something more than just a 3pt shooter. He is super versatile and we're not really utilizing his skills... still early though with him.

Win is a win and Amare played very well and we missed Barbs. I'll take it.

Would have been nice to draft M Williams rather then sign Banks. Oh well.

 

[Nashfan]

Diaw played a horrible game and what's wrong with Marion lately? Does he have the flu also because he is not looking good out there at times. Might be spoiled because we are so use to depending on him.

 

[krispydude]

banks is doing better. he's doing real good on D and can slash to the hoop pretty easy. needs to control himself better though, too many charges.

 

[Nashfan]

Yeah, I think Marcus Williams wanted to show us why we should have drafted him!

 

[JWF]

Well atleast we didnt blow that one. Marcus williams went insane. Even though we played some horrible defense, he was on fire anyways.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Nice to see us win this one...I like we just lost some focus and that Williams kid went nuts and couldn't miss.

6-6...back to .500 and rising.

 

[Sundance]

I really wished D'Antoni would have waited until after the game to rip into Marion. This boat is already rocking enough as it is.

"that Williams kid"

You mean, the one everyone knew the Suns should have drafted, but instead they sold the pick and then spent eight times the money on Banks?

Oh everybody knew....Yeah everyone knows everything after the fact. If the draft were so certain there never would be busts in the top 10.

Banks came off a good year so in the Suns minds they paid more trying to get more certainty. If Williams were picked by the Suns and stunk and Banks played elsewhere and was good we'd have some people saying the Suns cheaped out by taking Williams.

 

[Nasser22]

So what happened with Marion and D'Antoni? Must have just been on ESPN, that's the last time I let my brother or dad talk me into watching FSN instead...

The Suns looked good tonight but seem to just lack the sense of urgency when they are leading. I blame the coach and I'm a big fan of D'Antoni.

 

[Folster]

Yeah that Williams kid. But hey, Why draft an unproven rookie when you can sign a proven vet? Look at the record. We passed on Iguodala and Deng for Q, and now we passed on Williams and others for Banks.

They only didn't draft Iggy or Deng because they thought those guys would be gone by the 7th pick. Too bad they didn't wait until the draft to see. Regardless, that season was really exciting and Q was a big part of that.

ESPN has not mentioned anything.
