Suns At Bucks Game Thread

[Proteus]

Suns down 34-58 after the 2nd quarter. Suns shooting 36% with 3/8 3 pointers, Bucks 60% with 4/8 3 pointers.

Suns and Bucks both have committed 6 turnovers (Nash with 5 ).

Suns have 4 offensive rebounds, Bucks 7.

Suns have hit 5/6 free throws, Bucks have hit 2/5 free throws.

Just utterly pathetic basketball.

come on who's for a 2nd half waterboy rally we can do it!!!...

 

[Trifecta]

At this point we might as well pull the starters for the 2nd half and give the benchies some burn. Richardson's got a bad back so give Barbs a chance to play himself back into form.

 

[krazyasiankid]

Suns coming back..

 

[slinslin]

Ridiculous how the Bucks fans boo Amare when he didn't do a ****ing thing to Bogut, he didn't push Bogut or anything, didn't even challenge the play or run under the rim so Bogut couldn't land.

Just a bad decision by Bogut to dunk it at full speed and then try to hold onto the rim against his own momentum. That may be a smart thing to do when you are 180 pounds but not when you are 280 pounds.

Nash is getting schooled it isn't funny.

It's too bad Nash plays like Marcus Banks today when Dallas and Denver are losing too.

I missed the 1st half. But to start the 2nd, we came back behind Amare's dominance. Yet, we stopped trying to go to him on offense, and Nash with his tendency of straying away from his coverage made our defense like a sieve to give back all the ground.

This is when Nash's natural instinct paired with lack of conditioning hurts the team.

Good lord. Nash has some back and abdomen problems, no question, but it isn't "lack of conditioning".

 

[SunsFanVegas]

He's probably the best conditioned athlete in the NBA.

Nice one Earl

 

[Gee!]

Holy crap that Earl Clark slam was crazy..

 

[SunsFanVegas]

Nobody can say this 2nd unit isn't trying

 

[cly2tw]

The main thing when Nash is off the court is, we play way better defense for us to have a chance in such a game. We need Nash to play with energy not hurt. Against good defensive teams, sloppy offense via Nash would lead us nowhere.

 

[slinslin]

This game isn't out of reach yet, don't bring back Nash and Hill but at least Amare needs to be back in.

 

[krazyasiankid]

The thing I love the most about Earl Clark, is that he is not afraid to drive to the rim. He is so aggressive on the drives when he plays.

 

[slinslin]

waehgaw4yhaw3

Barbosa is such a stupid player.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Really unbelievable that Gentry didn't at least bring Amare back in when they cut it to 10 with about 5 left. Clearly the bench guys were running out of gas.

 

[Gee!]

That Goran finger roll was crazy.. nice move..

 

[Griffin]

The problem with losing this game is that if OKC wins tonight (they are leading) the Suns will be only a game ahead of the 6th place in the loss column. Which is where we were I think before the 10 game winning streak.

 

[cly2tw]

Barbosa with 2 charging TOs and one blocked shot typical for the old Suns habit: Take the risk all the time, no patience for grinding out. Sigh.
And, on defense, LB didn't switch after being screened leaving Ilysova for open dunk in the paint. At the 4 min mark, Gentry should have put back in Amare and instructed patient feeding the beast unless fastbreak presented itself.
But Clark showed great promise for the first time in his rookie season.

 

[slinslin]

I just dont get Gentry. I can see benching Nash, Hill and JRich for how they played but put in Amare instead of Lou and it would be a 2 posession game bc Amare doesn't let Kurt Thomas block him and then miss a 5 foot jumper like that.

 

[krazyasiankid]

Suns down by double digits with a minute to go. get Frye in as the 3 point shooter...

 

[krazyasiankid]

Wow! Clark looks fired up. great rebound!!

 

[slinslin]

Seriously next season they should just sit out Nash and Hill on all back to backs. They aren't helping really and get outplayed by the backups.

Earl Clark should have earned himself some PT.
