lmao banks with another 3....

 

[BirdMan21]

He should just keep shooting like this the rest of the year, I think we could find some playing time for him then.

 

[bigfoot]

whoa marks! hair cut!

i like him better with long hair, though. he looks like nowitzki from afar with longish hair.

The Bank is Open? Another Majerleizum gone bad

The last turnover Nash/Amare was again Nash not immediately passing to Amare and only decided to do so when Nene was approaching and got it poked away. Sigh! Trust Amare more plz!

I outlay $50 on the Nuggets +7.5 (both teams combined scoring over 229.5) and the Suns don't led the Nuggets trim the lead.

That'd be right...

 

[mjb21aztd]

what a way to end the game 3 by banks to give them a season high in points .

 

[95pro]

suns "found" a shooter.

and a shooter who can play D.

hopefully he keeps it up. good for him.

 

[Hat]

7 3's!!!!

 

[PoolBoy]

WOW. start banks over bell NOW.

 

[Folster]

Banks is making D'Antoni look foolish for not giving him playing time.

 

[cly2tw]

Great diplomatic postgame comment by Hill, "We will need Marcus down the stretch in the season". hahahah, Get it DA!

 

[az1965]

WOW! That was probably the first convincing win of the season!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

good for banks. now is he gonna slap around teams from the 3 point line like that night in and night out? no way. but if he's able to hit at a nice 38 - 42% clip and provide the type of defense he played on iverson tonight, he HAS to get minutes, and they'll be invaluable minutes. but can he do it against the spurs in the playoffs . . . ? i guess that's my ultimate question for every player on our team. we know amare can. we know nash can. i think hill will. it's everyone else . . . . who's got it boys???

nice win.

Let's hope Coach sees the value of Marcus and that Marcus continues to play hard. Seven threes is not going to happen again, but I will take 18-22 minutes with 12 points and lock down perimeter defense any day!

 

[az1965]

Banks was sick! Both offensively and defensively... he played great D on AI

 

[Griffin]

Great offensive display. If Banks can shoot this well every night he will get consistent minutes.

What worries me is defensive rebounding, yet again. Since this game ended up a blow out, people will overlook that, but there is no excuse for giving up 23 offensive rebounds. On most nights that will spell disaster.

Amare is the unsung hero of the game. Our offense stalled for quite a while in the 3rd after he sat. He was leading by example to be aggressive overall and played the team concept on offense perfectly.

Well actually, Nash should have fed him with a bounce pass due to the angle from wing to elbow.

I wouldn't complain it too much in this game as Bell was guarding Melo most of the time and he did a good job at it. Melo got all his frustration by rebounding offensively like a mad man. But Amare were responsible for at least two and Skinner for one by not properly boxing out.

dantoni a little on edge in the post game questions...

At the time he decided to pass, you are right. But Amare had been by himself for at least 2 sec while Nash was hasitating whether to pass it to him. Pass the ball to the first open man the earliest possible moment should be the maxim, right? Nash didn't do that. Maybe it's just Nash being not as sharp as he used to.

Yea, and the defense did give up a lot of points. What if the Suns had only shot 45 % from 3pt line. Even with a couple of long rebounds, it could have went the other way. Do the math. That would amount to 18 fewer points, depending on second chance opps. There will be nights where they shoot less than 40%.

Of course... Banks performance makes him look like a fool.
