Raptors at Suns 3-23-11

[Cheesewater]

Bennett Salvatore is garbage.

 

[Proteus]

Both Hill and Pietrus are questionable to return.

I know most here don't like Gentry because he plays Lopez....I used to be like that too. But now I hate him more for giving Carter so many damn minutes.

Gentry was given a pile of crap to work with. I don't care if you're Phil Jackson or Greg Popovich, you are not winning with this sorry group.

I'm sure Gentry would like playing JRich instead.

Gentry has a playoff caliber line up when Nash, Frye Gortat and Hill are on the court, but he is too stupid to play them together until the end of the game, when we are losing.

 

[sunsfan88]

Frye playin awful after the great performance yesterday...he's not that old so back to backs should not make him play this bad.

Don't forget Dudley

wow. He played 57 minutes the most played by any NBA player this season.

 

[sunsfan88]

wow. He played 57 minutes the most played by any NBA player this season.

I know but that doesn't give him a free pass to go scoreless and have 3 fouls while being killed on defense.

He has a bigger responsibility now that he's probably our best scorer.

I hope he turns it around in the 2nd half.

 

[desertdawg]

Gentry deserves to lose every game that he starts Lopez, what a joke! Time management...joke. Drawing up good plays at he end...big time joke. Leaving Carter in and going to him like he is clutch...that's a joke. Player on player match up, it's like he is tanking. Can't even tell his team to make sure and foul if we don't score and the clock is running...that isn't funny but it's happened numerous times.

Joke of the league, we don't have a pile of crap for Gentry to work with, that's just how he coaches this team. He is lost, we have quality starter players that never see eachother on the court until it's too late.There are teams with far less talent than us, that will make the playoffs this year. That's a fact jack!

 

[sunsfan88]

Why the hell...is Vince Carter in the game?!!

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 61-55 after the 2nd quarter.

We need to play much better to win this game and keep our playoff chances alive.

 

[Proteus]

Nash isn't feeling well also.

 

[sunsfan88]

BTW Houston won today too so if we lose this game, its a 98% chance we don't make playoffs.

 

[Mainstreet]

How can Lopez just look at a loose ball on the floor and not go after it.

 

[Proteus]

Why couldn't we have just lost in regulation against the Lakers? Sigh.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 79-69 with 5:26 left in the 3rd quarter. Suns shooting 44%, Raptors 55%.

Play some freaking defense guys or kiss the playoffs goodbye.

 

[desertdawg]

Now Gentry is going to leave Nash (still injured and played 400 minutes last night) in the entire third quarter?

 

[sunsfan88]

Again Gentry showing what an awful HC he is by keeping Carter in the game.

 

[jagu]

How can Lopez just look at a loose ball on the floor and not go after it.

He might have tapped it there?

 

[Mainstreet]

With Nash tired, the Suns would be better playing Dowdell and Brooks together.

 

[desertdawg]

Brooks is still hot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Without a SG I like the Suns playing two PGs together.

 

[sunsfan88]

Finally a good subsitition by Gentry!!! He played Brooks with Nash- excellent move. Then he's gonna play Dowdell with Brooks giving us a defensive PG and two playmakers on the court at one time!!

 

[desertdawg]

Looks like Gortat will play the entire fourth quarter again, that isn't normal. Players don't play more than an entire quarter when winning is the objective, players get too tired.
The reason Gentry has to keep Nash in is because the Suns were losing badly again with Nash and Lopez on the court, now Nash and Gortat will try and get back in it.
Brooks is having fun tonight.
