Official Game 4 Thread

[thegrahamcrackr]

Well, might as well get some pre game talks going.

I am looking for a different defensive stratagy. I hope to see Duncan be mostly guarded straight up, while intensifying defense on the other 4 players. Maybe some lineup changes, but that isnt very likely.

Hope that most of yuou will still try and make it there tomorrow night, I know I will be back.

I see this game opening up a bit on the offensive end.

Duncan will get his.

However, Marion/JJ/Outlaw will get back on track.

Suns pull away late for a nice win.

I never saw this! Sorry!

I wish I could delete my other thread, ill just edit it. Anyways here is what I typed in my thread:

Well, this one should be very interesting. If Phoenix loses this then its all but over. Tonight is a MUST WIN.

Predictions:
If the Suns come out with the same game plan for the 5th straight game against SA then theyre going to get killed. IT HAS STOPPED WORKING FRANK. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND FIGURE IT OUT!

However, if they do something different then I could see it being interesting. I would still simply love to see BIG Jake guard Duncan 1v1 and let the other guys play tough defense. Let Duncan get his points. And in all honesty, I think he would have a tougher time getting those points against someone who is as big as Jake. When he's in the game Tsakalidis is the Suns best defender.

With the old, double tim every time down, gameplan:
Suns 83
Spurs 94

After completely shaking it up:
Suns 90
Spurs 86

I am going to the game anyone else going????

 

[JS22]

My girlfriend and I were going to go again tonight but she is being forced to work. but we did goto the travesty that was game 3

I guess that could be a good thing though. Spending $100 bucks in one night isnt fun!! Plus, I have a better seat here in my livingroom.

Nothing beats the atmosphere though. If they come back for game 6 though i'll be going.

 

[Joe Mama]

I'll be there.

I sure wish the Phoenix Suns were playing the No. 1 seed in the East instead of the No. 1 seed in the West. The Detroit Pistons are a pathetic No. 1 seed. I know I've said this before, but they are probably the weakest No. 1 seed in NBA history.

I heard a theory as to why they struggle in the playoffs on TV the other day. It made some sense. I think it was Brent Musburger who was saying that the Detroit Pistons overachieve in the regular season because they give maximum effort every night. However once they are in the playoffs any other teams are giving their maximum effort they no longer have that edge.

I feel bad because I do like the Pistons. You do have to appreciate that effort. The Pacers on the other hand I do not like. I don't like Isaiah Thomas, and I especially don't like Ron Artest. With the talent on that team and playing in that weak conference the Pacers should run away with the Eastern conference championship. Instead they are going to get knocked out in the first round. I say you really have to question the coaching.

I hope it is a good game tonight.

Man you guys make it seem easy to get playoff tickets. Over here its almost impossible. Well it is impossible. Too bad we're not in the playoffs.

 

[arthurracoon]

The suns MUST pull this one out.

 

[JS22]

Agreed. Its over if they dont.

 

[JS22]

haha..there was something wrong with the intro.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Is there a dumber

Player than Jake Voshkul?

He makes stupid foul after stupid foul. I just don't understand it.

 

[Billythekid]

KTAR online radio is blocked out! Shyt!

 

[Billythekid]

Shyt!

Amare just got his 3rd!

Damn this FREAKIN RADIO SHYT!

FIRE UP !!!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I have had it

F'in Joke starts out the second quarter with Voshkul (2 fouls) and Stoudemire (2 fouls) and what do you know, foul Amare.

Play Big Jake...

Play him...

 

[DRVNFAST]

Screw these refs man.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Suns will lose

Suns are going to lose this game. The offense looks like trash. We still can't shoot the damn ball.

 

[Billythekid]

10 fouls to 3 fouls!

I agree put Jake in!

 

[Billythekid]

Marion has come to play atleast.

We need his scoring. We need his attacking cause we're struggling from the outside

COY or not, if the Suns loose and FJ hasn't played big JAKE, he should be fired.

 

[cheng]

Refs are killing us!

BS calls on Stoudemire and Penny, BS non-calls on Marbury's drives to basket.

 

[Wally]

What kind of stupid lieup is this????
Marbury, Marion, Jacobsen, Googs, Voskhul.
WOW, I wonder how llong they'll last.

 

[Chaplin]

The officiating isn't that bad. It's not great, but it's not terrible either.

I'm really starting to intensely dislike Frank Johnson. I support, to a point, the idea of doubling Duncan, but I don't support doubling off of Tony Parker. Why does FJ send Marbury to double? I'd rather have Stephen Jackson beat us instead.

 

[DRVNFAST]

Down by 6 at the half could be worse.
