Nuggets at Suns

[zod]

Nah. Just a tad on the homer side.

 

[Andrew]

Why do they hang up on people, even if you aren't done talking lol?

 

[Andrew]

I wanted to be more calm and collected, but I just got excited.

You know how you call and get on in about 5 minutes? Tell the guy that answers the phone that you are calling from across the country lol.

 

[Andrew]

The guy even asked how I saw the game and hear the radio show and then said "don't tell me...I don't want to know" lol

 

[Ninjafish]

What did you say? Give us a transcript.

 

[Andrew]

That I still believe basically, that when in the hell does Shaq make clutch FTs and Nash get defensive stops? That Dudley could be better than Diaw for this team and that we need to keep him and that a lot of people under estimate this team and their capability.

 

[Ninjafish]

The main reason I haven't done it was before during Christmas I was going to, but their basic system requirements don't match mine. Mine seem worse, plus I never even found a number to call or even a refund policy. I would do it if I could get a refund...

You know, any questions you have, I'm sure NBA.com would be more than happy to answer them in email. There's a nice little "Contact Us" button on the NBA broadband page. I've used it before. They usually reply back to you in the same day.

Best suns game this year imo.

Just got back from the game. It was an exciting game (obviously) and the crowd was more into it than they have been in quite awhile.

A few thoughts:

1) We are starting to develop a solid bench and I love it. I think Gentry has done an admirable job of giving guys opportunities and confidence and it is starting to be a huge benefit. What I enjoyed most tonight was watching when Dragic, Tucker, Duds, and Lou were all on the floor together. They all played with a lot of energy and took pride in playing defense

2) Dudley is a an unbelievable role player. He is exactly the kind of player this team has need for quite some time. He does so many things that impact the game it's incredible. His shooting stroke has looked great lately and that just adds to the well rounded game he has. Is he a great athlete? Not even close. But his hustle and basketball I.Q. made a huge impact on the game tonight.

3) Dragic is starting to develop into a nice backup point guard. He is making fewer mistakes, shooting the ball better, finding open guys, and playing solid defense. His confidence is higher now than it has been at any point this year and he is doing a respectable job. He still has the ability to continue to grow and improve.

4) Grant made some really poor passes and had too many dumb turnovers. That said, he almost always seems to find ways to positively affect the game.

5) Barnes inconsistency is frustrating at times. Although I like Barnes as a player, he seems to use poor judgement at times and sometimes I feel like he tries to be too much of an offensive weapon when he has guys like Nash, Shaq, J-Rich and Grant on the floor. He doesn't always do this, but sometimes.

6) After looking good against Washington, Swift looked absolutely awful tonight.
Just a few random thoughts.

One of the best team effort.

Shaq hit almost all free throws, especially in 4th.

Amundson out-tough-ed whoever he defends and took out Nene.

Dudley is really defend and rebound so well.

Dragic made 3s and assists.

 

[cobbler]

Checked out espn conversation nuggets fans actually whining like they got robbed the refs bailed us out! Wow some people see what they want to see they got away with fouls all night long but they lost anyway.

Wow... talk about hypocritical. Have you read your own posts? I dont think you have touched a thread without complaining about calls. But hey, some people see what they want to see...

 

[AceP]

It is a good win but I hope nobody get over-hyped, just like last time we beat the Lakers.

The entire team must stay focused and keep heads down on the job. A tough schedule is coming up.

Barnes apparently can only play well against bad teams which are unable to punish his reckless decisions, or on some team like GS or DA's SSOL which don't care much about them. Swift is not in shape yet and not knowing the players well, well also has lesser B-ball IQ.

You are missing the point. The Nuggets fans sound stupid because the Suns were getting screwed by the refs not the Nuggets, they were just looking for excuses. On the other hand I (nashman) am complaining about a legitimate bias acting against the interests of my team. You are so dense!

Barnes had a great game when we beat the Lakers. I can also recall a few other games against good teams he played well, as as our loss to the Mavs a week ago. Barnes is just inconsistent, no matter who we play against. If my momery is correct, he's been like that for his entire career. We'd like a better starting SF if we can find. Or we need the coach to be very smart handling the rotation to avoid him ruining a game. I think Gentry did a good job in this one.

 

[lou_skywalker]

starting to see some consistency after all the turmoils this season. Hope they can continue it against Utah.

 

[nashman]

Did you watch the game cobbler? Probably not just trolling huh! The game had lots of non calls and questionable calls I comment on them because the Suns didn't let it get to them and just put their heads down and fought through it and got the win anyway. Can I not point something like this out without ...never mind your not worth it laker fan why are you here anyway.

From Dallasbasketball.com

I saw Phoenix play with an intensity last night that I had never seen before by them or even Dallas this year. I want to see how Dallas plays with their own big match up against Denver on Friday.

 

[Goran Stoudemire]

It was a good win but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Denver has been really bad on the road lately. They are average on the road.

 

[nashman]

Disagree that was a great win Denver had one their last 5 which was the current highest winning streak in the NBA and this game was big for them they would have leaped SA and been the 3rd seed in the WC. Make no mistake they wanted this game badly and the Suns stood tough the last few minutes and pulled out a nice win!

Disagree. Denver is an elite team this season and we have been struggling much more than them. To say otherwise is not looking at both sides of the situation. This was a great win in a very exciting game.

Yah a 5 game winning streak with wins over the Clippers/Grizzles/Thunder/Wizards/Nets

Before the game At Memphis they had lost 6 straight road games. (Pacers/Bulls/Bucks/Pistons/Kings/Jazz)

Not to mention the Cavs have had the longest current winning streak. Get your facts straight.

Denver is a average team on the road. If we were playing them at home and won, It would have been a great win.
