jesus all were doing is launching 3's and were not hitting crap 3/21 TAKE IT TO THE HOLE, and Banks is playing crap this qtr travling call and a offensive foul on a layup nice

 

[Sovereignz]

Well Banks didn't do himself any favors with that stretch of play. Ugh.

 

[Proteus]

Argh...Marion blows a layup. He seems to be missing a lot of those this season.

 

[LV-Suns]

blowing open layups

 

[mjb21aztd]

Thank god the bulls didn't have gordan or deng this game I think we would have lost the way we shot most of the game

 

[LV-Suns]

we are shooting 18% from 3

 

[mjb21aztd]

[Bufalay]

Banks played good D.

 

[Proteus]

Very ugly game but at least we won.

This is the 2nd game the Suns have won this season scoring under 100 points.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Skinner was the only player to not take a 3. What a slacker!

 

[LV-Suns]

Raja back in the slump again 1-8

Why did Banks get minutes instead of DJ? Hasn't D'Antoni decided that DJ is better yet?

 

[Suns_fan69]

Perhaps Tucker and DJ did another D-League swap?

I only could listen to the game, but looking at the box score now:

We managed to win a game shooting less than 42% (including 5/25 from 3) and scoring less than 90 points. Marion was 4 steals shy of a triple double. Diaw with 11/6/4 despite poor shooting.

Banks got to play again, and showed pretty much why he is not ready. He makes too many mistakes out there, more than you'd think would be possible in such a short amount of time.

Raja Bell's shot was still in Cleveland apparently. But everyone except Nash, Amare and Barbs shot poorly.

Amare three consecutive games with only 6 rebounds.

The Suns were out-rebounded again by more than 10, this time 52-38. Granted, Bulls missed a lot of shots so there were a lot of rebounds, but the Suns didn't shoot well either. Overall, the Bulls had 18 more shot attempts than Phoenix but only managed to hit one more field goal. The Suns offensive rebounding differential continues to be worrisome: today 18-4 in favor of the Bulls. Over the last three games the Suns were out-rebounded on the offensive end 57-10. Over the last seven games, it is 127-35.

 

[Chaz]

I like that D'Antoni went back to Banks in this game.

I love DJ as a player, but his rookie mistakes are worse than Banks mistakes right now. Banks' clearly needs to improve his execution and shooting % from today but I think decisions in the offense and defense are pretty good at this point.

I wouldn't mind if we took a look at Tucker at SF while Hill is out.

 

[Proteus]

So are the Suns gonna keep on going with a 7 man rotation til Hill comes back? Skinner is getting very few minutes lately.

I hope Strawberry hasn't ended up in D'Antoni's doghouse with Banks playing instead of him.

 

[Bufalay]

getting badly out-rebounded, shooting poorly, and winning is impressive.

 

[dodie53]

nice win.

 

[justAndy]

having to watch the game on an HD TV w/ NO HD feed sucked.
