Phoenix @ Denver - Game Thread - Saturday Mar 17, 2007 - 7:00 pm

Is anyone hurt? Is anyone ailing? I understand that Bill Walton spoke the other night regarding Bell, he still isn't feeling good with is legs... Is that it?

I think this team (or certain members of it) read too many press clippings on Thursday.

 

[CaptainInsano]

Isn't it just great that when dallas gets dominated by GSW that the suns who have the leverage of saying we never lost so bad instead decide to say "Oh yeah, well how about losing like THIS".

Wonderful.

*edit: This really is just the most stupid season. Injurys everywhere and then crap like this happends to the suns right after it seemed we were heading up after beating dallas, dallas lays a stinker against GSW but then rebounds right back. Horrible leg injury to livingston. This 2nd half of the season has been flat out ugly.

 

[CaptainInsano]

If dantoni was smart at all he would just empty the bench because that would be cutting short this embarrasment.

Stop playing the regular rotation and give the guys some rest. This game is OVER.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Agree we could atleast play Jalen Rose ...

 

[mjb21aztd]

Wow Iverson is on fire can not miss a damn shot

 

[az1965]

I believe we thought we achieved a lot by beating Dallas, so it is time for a break... this is painful.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Jalen Rose hit a three time for a comeback...lol

 

[jbeecham]

If the scoring was reversed and we were still playing our starters and running up the score, then the Nuggets would start throwing punches and running away.

 

[mjb21aztd]

man this team is ice cold... hope this isnt a trend my god we canmt even complete a pass

lame.

anyways, good game and good luck the rest of the year and in the playoffs (cept when you play us).

 

[jbeecham]

what's lame is the Nuggets are committing hard fouls when they're up 33 (Klieza horsecollaring James Jones).

 

[CaptainInsano]

lame.

Figures we have to have a game like this when you guys so far are our first round matchup.

And gsw is so far dallas first round matchup.

This is getting way too weird.

 

[Sunshooter]

To D'Antoni, I hope you remember Rose is still a Suns player

 

[pkdumas]

What a disaster. WE ARE AWFUL. Nash looks like an old man. Could be a first round exit this year. Meanwhile the MVP rolls...

[PHX 32]

As the dooms-dayer Suns fan that you all know me for, I am extremely worried about this team. I cannot even remember the last time we lost two games back to back by 20 or more points.....Anyone else just a TAD bit worried about this team???

Please...this is just the most ludicrous post of the year.

First round exit?

Oh yes... this is the team you guys want to face in the first round alright. I think the Lakers might be a better option. This is a team that actually LIKES your pace but can't control or maintain it the way you can... so when you guys willingly create it they have the capability to play exactly like you do and in turn stay in the game or hell even perform it better than you as evident in this game. I still wouldn't worry too much... in a seven game series the better team usually comes out and thats still PHX hands down, but they just might give you fits.

 

[BuddyFranklin]

I'm more worried about the Detriot game than this one.

I really fear the lack of rebounding and consistant D will again be a huge problem come playoff time. I don't see us beating either SA or Dall in a 7 game series. Sure we can win one or two but those guys have more dimensions to their games and will make adjustments. The playoffs are all about adjustments and i think as time has worn on alot of teams have worked out how to play against us and Mike D doesn't have a solid plan B.

 

[TheHopToad]

Knowing D'Antoni, he's probably taking a page from Bill Belichick and not showing Denver his full hand. I'm sure he's got the perfect plan to beat the Nuggets and doesn't want to execute it until the playoffs.

Wishful thinking perhaps, but in the grand scheme of things, our playoff position is pretty well solidified and this game didn't mean that much (to the Suns).

Besides, I think Denver wasted their best bullet against us in this game. No way can they match this effort in the playoffs. They're just not that good and one flawless game doesn't make them elite.

 

[pkdumas]

Man we sucked bad... did anyone notice there were five coaches in tonite's game? Mike, Dan, Tony, George, and Karl.

 

[cly2tw]

Where is Marion? He is a complementary player and his offensive serviceability is completely dependent on others creating space for him.

Why not use Banks on AI to at least give Nash a rest. We couldn't have been worse than what we did in the first 3 quarters even with Banks.

Why not use Rose to practise more halfcourt plays that likely will be forced on us during the playoff by good teams? I assume his problem was to play uptempo style. In half court, he would have a good role to fill like in the game against Pistons.

Where is our defense?

We are by far the worst team in the NBA. BY FAR!


It's amazing, after the win against Dallas this team could do no wrong in the eyes of the fans. Now after two bad games they are first round fodder.

Here's a question: going into this week we knew the Suns had 4 tough games with Houston/Dallas/Detroit/Denver. If you knew the Suns were going to win only two of them, which two would you have wanted them to be?

Pretty nice, you had us going for a while. But why does a Suns fan get his NBA news from a Dallas newspaper? Looks like your sheep's clothing has busted a few seams.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

ZOMG we lost W3r3 out in the f1rst r0und!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
