Youre kidding right?

I mean why would you want the best shooter in NBA history in the game with the season on the line.. doesnt make much sense to me either.

I am more disappointed that Goran is out who has clearly been the heart of this team in the 4th quarter.

Geez. Nash with his obligatory crunch time turnover. :rolleyes: Bench Nash.

Nash was at -9 when he came in. We will see where that is at. I absolutely would not have put him in over Dragic.

Kobe taps the coach after hitting the shot. Not a taunt?

The story of this game is that our supposed superstar max player didn't deliver. There were a lot of things wrong, but IMO that is the biggest problem. 4 rebounds. AGAIN.

Feeding Amare over and over killed us because we ended up losing too many possessions with no points.

Yeah 14 offensive rebounds for the Lakers. You can't win when you don't try.

The Lakers were crashing in on Amare and Nash couldn't penetrate tonight at all. When Goran came in, he could penetrate and the offense started opening up and Amare got a dunk.

The story is why did Alvin Gentry sit the bench when they were the only Suns who could defend and score all night??

Pau Gasol had an awful game and Bynum after the 1st quarter was nowhere to be seen. It was the perfect opportunity for Amare and he did NOTHING.

Because you are coaching by the book. The book says to bring in your starters.

Because if the suns lost with the bench still in the game, whose call was it? Gentrys. Regardless....Nash made a good run, stupid TOs though....and Amare is nothing without a good pass from someone.

Amare did score, but AGAIN the Lakers were crashing inside on Amare. Doug Collins made mention of this. It worked, too.

Why is everyone bitching about our beloved coach? He's better than D'Antoni. He will lead this team to a title I'm sure...

Yup, Gentry should have went away from him, he was forcing it. Amare is not high on IQ and the smart ones should have made adjustment.

No chaplin this is clearly nashs fault. he just dribbles too much. I mean nash had TWO turnovers the entire game, TWO. meanwhile amare is over there busting his ass getting 4 rebounds and diving on the floor for the first time in his career.

Nice little come back attempt in the 4th. Dragic definitely has future in this league. But, once again, we can't expect to play like crap for three quarters and then win it in the 4th. Too little too late. You expect better than that in a literal must-win game. Disappointed with Amare who didn't do much offensively until the 4th and got owned on the glass once again. JRich didn't do much either. Our two highest paid players right there.
