Pistons at Suns

We bringing it back, taking it back, Phx basketball

I think I heard today that the Suns were only 4 games out of having home court advantage in the 1st round.

Crazy how close all of the teams are.

Do I think the Suns will have a chance if they get into the playoffs? No. But that doesn't mean I won't root for them. Nash and Hill deserve it, at the very least.

Dudley is playing in your face defense.

 

[desertdawg]

Redd, Shannon, the rookie, the two 7 footers, Frye is on both sides of the court, Studley be jammin. I hope we face the Clippers first round, I joke I kid. Lets get Dattas in the first round.

What's with all the timeouts? You lost, go home Detroit.

This team has a bunch of quality cats that have verything to play for, contracts and pride, the chance to stay in the League.

Announcers say only three teams this season have won back-to-back-to-back games, those teams being the Bulls, Heat and the Thunder.

Now the Suns are the fourth team.

These guys have been digging in for awhile, roster changes, folks coming off injuries, good vibe yo.

I never thought the Suns would be where they are right now at this point in the season. Playoffs or not, they are making the effort.

Suns at .500 at this point in the season. Wow. That's pretty cool. I didn't think it'd happen.

 

[desertdawg]

I totally dig how Hill puts it, "The atmosphere"

I thought they would. And then I thought they wouldn't. And then, again, I thought they would. And then, again again, I thought they wouldn't. Now, I'm just done thinking.

17 assists in 3 Q's for Nash. Anyone know what his career high is?

23 against the Lakers in the 2007 playoffs

At this point of the season, I only care about the losses. To me, we're 4 games out of a tie for the 4th spot. If you have games remaining you can make up wins but only your opponents can make it up for you in the loss column.

The Suns are ranked 9th according to ESPN... Minnesota having one more loss.

The big statistical differentiation in Suns wins and losses is Jared Dudley.

He is scoring 15.7 pts in Suns wins (for the year) and 11 pts in Suns losses. There is no real substantial difference in wins and losses for any other player.

So, either consistent play for Dudley, or adding a 20 pt a game 2 guard, will be the key to the Suns success.

Not always true, Dudley had a career high against Minnesota and we still lost.

Suns now hold the 9th spot and with a win over the Rockets will be 1/2 game out of 8. Not to get ahead of ourselves here, but the 8th spot shouldn't be the goal here. Have to get to at least 7th to avoid the Thunder in first round.

I'm surprised to see sunsfan say that. Not always true?

No team always wins its games. No NBA player always leads his team to victory.

More often than not is the difference between winners and losers. Let's appreciate how JYD has stepped back into the "2" guard position and played a major role in turning us around.

I am glad to hear that the constant talk about tanking has finally disappeared. No fan wants to see his team lose.

And I'm the guy who has been a Suns fans for the past forty-two years -- without a championship. I am thrilled to see a real Center and emphasis on defense finally be part of our approach.

 

[sunsfan88]

What? I love Dudley. Him and Gortat are the only two good players on this team who arent 40.

All I said is Dudley playing well doesnt mean we will get automatic win if the rest of the team sucks.
