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

[Griffin]

End of 1st quarter, gave up 38 points, down by double digits.

Where is our defense?

Down by 14 now.

 

[Ronin]

sloppy ball handling, ugly shooting(33%) percantage,but where still hanging in there.

 

[Sunshooter]

sigh... they are mentally fatigue

 

[Ballamania]

when you cant shoot,rebound or defend anything that usually means a blow out. this pretty much sucks right now. yesterday i let it ride against detroit but today its just ridiculous and pathetic right now.

 

[jbeecham]

Suns are playing like crap and haven't recovered from last night's game at all. With the way the league is looking at elbowing, they should take a look at Carmello Anthony. When he drives to the basket, he throws a flurry of elbows and lowered shoulders into any defender near him.

 

[CaptainInsano]

Wow 2 of 13 for 3, this team can't shoot tonight to save its life.

The nuggets are scoring absolutely insane out there. 70 at halftime.

 

[TucsonDevil]

Just checked in to see the score.... HOLY CRAP

 

[jbeecham]

Marion hasn't shown up the last 2 nights at all. He's a big part of our fast breaking and he hasn't been running. He also can't make layups and isn't going for rebounds.

It's not just Marion though, the whole damn team is out of sync right now.

 

[PHX 32]

Wait, I just checked the scores on nba.com and it said we are down by 26 at halftime....I hope its a technical error on the website....

 

[jbeecham]

The score is 70-44 at halftime. It's no misprint. We can't make shots and are playing like complete crap. The Nuggets are executing well and everyone is having a great game for them.

 

[Griffin]

It's alright. Still got 24 minutes to go. We can do this. Nothing to it. Just gotta pretend it's a new game and try to win by 27

 

[Michael]

The Nuggets hit 68% from the field compared to the Suns' 33%!

The largest margin of defeat in NBA history is 60 points, I believe. Cleveland vs Miami 140-80 in the late 80s/early 90s....

 

[green machine]

Wow, even if the Suns wanted to make a comeback the Nuggets just aren't missing. And these aren't all open layups and open jumpers. They are making every outside shot even with hands in their faces.

 

[Griffin]

But they are also getting a ton of fastbreak points off of Suns misses.

 

[jbeecham]

Nuggets have 100 pts with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd

 

[az1965]

When was last we had back to back pathetic blowouts by 20+ points???

 

[Griffin]

Honestly I didn't think it was possible for us to play this bad. And I thought yesterday was bad.

This could easily be the ugliest game I've seen the Suns play (in 13 years.) If we don't cut this lead down in the 4th, this could be a blow-out of epic proportions.

 

[slinslin]

Ridiculous

 

[mjb21aztd]

This is pathatic glad I was able to only catch the 2nd half of this game do you guys think nash hurt his mvp status after these two games?

 

[mjb21aztd]

fing pathatic effer ********

 

[goldseraph]

Wow this is painful to watch, its like a Globetrotters vs. Generals and we are the Generals.

 

[goldseraph]

I guess we didn't feel like going for the 1 seed after all.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Yeah I know were tired but these are big games to try and get the number 1 seed and we fold big time guess the suns are looking to much forward into the playoffs, I know one thing I would not want to play the nuggets in the 1st round after the way they dominated us tonight

 

[CaptainInsano]

This is pathatic glad I was able to only catch the 2nd half of this game do you guys think nash hurt his mvp status after these two games?

No I would hope the media is smart enough to take a look at this pathetic, dismal excuse of a game and realise the "nash is surrounded by all-stars" type of mindset is complete poo. If nash doesn't dominate the game in some way, by scoring or assisting or making key crafty plays like he did against dallas BAD things can and almost always will happen.

Sad thing though that is asking way to much from the media.

 

[Sunshooter]

Can we enter to playoffs 2nd round?

vs Lakers, i don't know
vs Nuggets, i also don't know
