PHX v. DEN Game Thread

[jagu]

Suns win in a blowout.

116-87

 

[Mainstreet]

Even if Denver plays a front line of reserves they appear more than the Suns can handle. They will really push the ball and the Suns played last night. I can see Ty Lawson lighting up the Suns and Kenneth Faried bruising them into submission. Also I forgot to mention Andre Miller.

We are going to manage to keep this game close and lose it at the end.

2nd chance opportunities are going to kill us.

I just heard Steve Nash and Grant Hill will not be playing tonight. Okay, what's behind the curtain?

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns going for an offensive no-hitter. Down 10-0.

The calm before the storm.

Hey our pick is starting to get a little better

 

[jagu]

Wow Morris with 21 points in 29 minutes. He is starting to get comfy. I hope he comes off the bench and takes a ton of minutes from Frye.

 

[Covert Rain]

I still don't know what to think about Morris. He is being productive but he is not impressive on the boards right now. I think he can score. However, really good PF's in this league can rebound.

In the last 10 games he has played more than 20 minutes he has 10 rebounds or more only once. That sucks!

It's much easier to rebound with talent on the court with him. He gets to play with the likes of Robin Lopez and a horrible bench. It's pretty hard to get 10 rebounds in 20 minutes of play, he's averaging 19.9 minutes per game this month. What is he Dwight Howard?

I looked at the stats of PF playing around 20 minutes per game and he is on the higher end of those players. I guess we really need to see what he does when get gets closer to real starter minutes.

As long as Frye is shooting himself out of his slump though, he probably won't get the chance.

I think your right. He would probably average closer to 10 with more minutes which would be good.

He gets into good positioning and seems to have a very good knack of being in the right spot, with more MPG I don't see why he couldn't get 10 rebounds. He has a plus basketball IQ IMO from what I've seen of him.

Morris's rebound rate per 48 minutes (or per 40, or per minute, if you struggle with "per 48" stats) is almost identical to Stoudemire's.

I'd say that if Morris played alongside Gortat more he'd get more rebounds.
