Carter sucks! Gentry how many times do you have to learn this lesson? He lights it up when he is hot, not at the end of the games.

Suns down 96-92 with 33.2 seconds left in the 4th quarter after a jumper by Rose. Suns ball. Suns full timeout.

The Suns forget they need a 3? Houston is losing to the Kings. The bright side is the Suns are not letting Houston catch them in the loss column.

Oh well, this coaching has been crazy to say the least. Not fouling with the time running out, putting the game in Carter's hands, not knowing which plays to run or how many points we need.

Other than that I liked how the Suns responded being down by 20 on the road. Carter is good (sometimes real good) during stretches of the game but not so much at the end of games. That go to scorer would have been nice tonight, but all and all not a bad showing.

A lot of teams might have packed in it being that far down, and Carter did kinda sorta get the troops back in it. I wish we would have played smarter B-ball at the end, fouled to save time, and get the rock to Frye for the crunch time shots.

You must be kidding with that face, that ship sailed for me already :)
Nopers. :p Just a bit dissapointed/frustrated with the last bit of the game and us having chances and wasting them. Oh well.

Now will Gentry please get a clue and leave Carter out in clutch situations?

If we are down by 3 with less than 10 seconds to go, why did Nash drive the lane and get the ball to Gortat? How about passing to a 3 point shooter for a 3 to tie the game? Big mistake by Nash. I don't think he knew what the score was.

My thought is that Nash can't create his own shot with the clock running down and he should have passed the ball earlier to a player like VC who can create. Nash was sort of trapped with going inside.

How sad is this statement. Carter is the only guy aside from maybe Hill that can create his own shot and we do not have a go to guy on the bench either; Yup, Dudley is not a go to guy. i will actually prefer Brooks alongside Nash in this situation

True. Or at least put Brooks on the court with Nash.

Nash sure has struggled this season at the end of quarters/games. :(

^^ this was part of the reason JRich was so good for the Suns last season; double team Nash, double Amare= an open JRich

No doubt the Suns miss JRich big time.

Hopefully Nash can win the assist title again and Hill makes an All Nba defensive team. :)

This is a HUGE loss.

Utah actually beat LA today so we're back to being only .5 ahead of them for that #12 draft pick!!!

Even though we lost, I gotta say I am pretty impressed with out defense. Giving up only 87 pts against the best team in the NBA.
