I'm only getting the audio feed. It sounds like Marks is having a nice game so far though.

 

[Griffin]

Marks so far: 3/5 fg, 1/1 3pt, 2/2 ft, 4 rebounds, 9 points, 1 steal

Anyone watching on TV, is LB still wearing that sleeve for his elbow?

I'm not watching but I'm guessing he is. I forget where I heard/read it, but his elbow still bothers him a little bit and he was planning on wearing the sleeve.

I think Marion's agent gave him a little pep talk on how to earn that huge extension he wants. I bet Marion has a huge year this year.

 

[Griffin]

We are outrebounding them 25 to 15. Hill has 7, Marion with 8, two minutes before halftime.

I'm guessing the same thing. Who would think that we would be talking about Shawn and Sean in this game. It sounds like Grant Hill is also doing extremely well. I'm not sure what's going on with Boris.

Just so everyone knows, looks like audio league pass is free so signup if you wanna listen into the games.

17 points 8 rebounds for Hill.

Edit: Can't believe this is the first preseason game. Missing Amare and Skinner and the team is looking great. 20 assists on 26 made shots.

 

[Ronin]

Boris Diaw jumper looks solid.

 

[mribnik]

Barbosa makes a mid-range jumper! Marks comes back in.

 

[CaptainInsano]

can anyone who possibly listened/watched for most of the game tell me how grant is scoring most of his points?

Midrange jumper? Slashing?

I just wanna know how he is operating out there basically, seems he really is liking this phoenix system.

I'm only listening to the game, but Hill had a few midrange jumpers, a 3 pointer and had a few baskets going to the hoop. He pretty much scored from everywhere. He also got 4 free throws but I remember him drawing plenty more fouls as well. Also, anyone who thought Hill would slow the Suns down was dead wrong. It sounds like he's all over the place. He's leading the break at times and finishing at times.

yes he is.

 

[mribnik]

Strawberry makes a 20 footer and Banks nails a 3!

 

[Ronin]

Marcus Banks defense looks improved from last season. He's staying in front of his man and not going for the steal which gets him trouble alot of the time.

 

[Cheesebeef]

man, if Hill can just stay healthy!

 

[Mainstreet]

I know Amare and Skinner will return but it is still scary as Marks is the only big man coming off the bench.

 

[Griffin]

I was wondering where was Tucker but he just checked in. Did not play until 4th quarter though.

 

[Ronin]

Nice drive by Diaw!

 

[mribnik]

Al McCoy is starting to lose it. Well, maybe not. I can't watch the game but are Henry Bibby and Sean Rooks playing?

 

[Griffin]

I like this lineup we have out there in the 4th quarter: Barbosa/Diaw/Banks/DJ/Tucker. That's pretty much our entire bench and depth. Let's see if they can hold the lead. They are playing against Kings' bench too.

A diminutive line-up I must say.

 

[mribnik]

Sounds like Banks is playing great defense and making his jumpshot.

Edit: He's on fire, just nailed another 3.
