shooting 9% mid way thru the 1st

just 3 pts with 4 min to go

 

[Folster]

What a joke. 3 points with 5:00 left in the 1st qtr. I thought they would be hyped for this game.

 

[Evil Ash]

so far they look like the old suns tonight. soft and no d

and zero rebounding.

 

[HooverDam]

I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Are they still afraid of these guys? What the hell is going on?

 

[Folster]

Don't forget the Spurs are tired because they played last night and they don't play well on back to backs.

 

[dodie53]

very bad that duncan is scoring early..
will it be like last game when KG scores 44?

 

[TJ]

Some team we have out there....

 

[az1965]

0 assists with quarter ending

 

[Treesquid PhD]

Is Diaw mistaking the Spurs for the Germans? Pathetic

 

[Folster]

Popovich is a smart coach. He won't let the Suns get on a roll. He uses timeouts brilliantly.

If the suns coaching staff thinks Amare can stop Duncan, we're in for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG night

 

[HooverDam]

Nice 3 by Marion, lead is down to 8....thats manageable. Its just tough for Amare to guard Duncan, he's not good enough on man defense to do that yet. I wish we had KT, he could body Duncan, push him around, and Amare and Marion could fly in for help side blocks.

On offense the Suns need to do a better job getting it into the paint, get Duncan in foul trouble and out of the game.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

The SUns have regeressed to 04 form...they are all swarming for blocks and not blocking out.

 

[dodie53]

why not use burke or marks to body duncan?
i know, it will be like 4on5 on offense but....
coach D could atleast try it..

NO, all they need to do is block out and stop swarming for the "bigtime ESPN blocked shot".

 

[TJ]

16 points in the quarter?? So unlike us.....better heat it up with a 42 point second qtr

ummm Amare???

 

[Mike Olbinski]

This is hard to watch right now

The Spurs is not the time you try to use Burke and Marks. If they can't get time against the Bobcats, why would they get time against the frickin Spurs?

 

[Evil Ash]

ummm Amare???

Amare is "defending" Duncan and for all intents and purposes its a layup drill for Duncan

 

[Folster]

Another brilliant Popovich timeout.

 

[TJ]

Amare is "defending" Duncan and for all intents and purposes its a layup drill for Duncan

and there is honestly no one else you can put on him

....im surprised we are only down by 2

 

[Evil Ash]

Another brilliant Popovich timeout.

This one could be go either way. Yeah you may slightly stop the Suns momentum but he's also giving Nash more time to rest

 

[TJ]

Any reason why Popovich doesnt wear a tie??

 

[Joe Mama]

Do you guys ever do the gametime chats anymore?
