Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Semifinals, Game 3 – Suns At Spurs Game Thread

[tobiazz]

Spurs are on point so far. The Suns better start defending better and consider making shots.

If only we could sub Lopez for Amare.

 

[btimsah]

If I were Alvin, I'd not say a word to them. Put the starters back and just not say a word.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 21-37 with 9:14 left in the 2nd quarter. Suns outscored 9-2 to start the 2nd quarter.

Suns shooting 35%, Spurs 56%.

 

[zod]

Never expected the Spurs to go down easy. Looks like this isn't our night.

 

[AfroSuns]

The Suns from A-Z playing like crap except for Hill.Jrich and Nash

 

[slinslin]

Dragic and Barbosa are so freaking useless.

Whoever is ready to appoint Dragic the PG of the future. Please... he has absolutely no clue what to do offensively.

 

[Michael]

What happened to Amare owning the Spurs?

Not getting any calls in the first quarter probably didn't help his FG percentage.

Let's hope we can pull it together soon. Otherwise, this is going to get an ugly blowout.

 

[Proteus]

Maybe the team will actually bother to show up in game 4.

 

[Griffin]

If we played well and got beat, I can live with that. But we are playing like crap right now on both ends of the floor. I think this is the biggest deficit we have faced in the playoffs this year so far.

This is what I knew SA would come out like tonight. Suns need to match this intensity! SA making all their shots, even their big gingerbread man is knocking 'em down....the suns, missing most of their shots. SA getting all the calls; makes sense since they are playing tougher than the suns right now.

 

[slinslin]

Actually Dragic and Barbosa are probably playing like the two worst players I have seen get playing time in the playoffs ever.

 

[TBaslim]

Well, this team is too resilient to give up on yet, but it sure doesn't look like their night so far. Out of synch, not enough hustle...all exacerbated by awful zebra calls.

yup.

 

[zod]

Amare is getting mugged. lol no calls on the suns yet

 

[Cheesebeef]

Gentry shouldn't burn out Nash tonight. I hope if the game continues as it looks like it will that Nash gets some rest in the fourth so he can be fresh for Game 4.

 

[AfroSuns]

Wow, finally a foul

 

[GorrilaLips]

what is going on with Barbosa....my gawd

 

[Cheesebeef]

why doesn't Amare BLOCK that instead of undercutting him.

he hasn't shown up AT ALL.

 

[TBaslim]

Could use some of that defense they have been playing lately. Spurs are getting anything the want.

 

[SweetD]

This is bad very bad!

 

[Cheesebeef]

you know it's not in the cards for our boys when Nash is missing wide-open 15 footers.

 

[TBaslim]

Amazing they are only down 16.

And nice move by Amare, finally!

 

[TBaslim]

Give Barbs credit. He's driving to the hoop at least.

 

[Proteus]

Shocking...Amare makes a shot (was 0/5).

 

[TBaslim]

Barry offers good advice. Don't panic. Lots of time to go.
