He was on the floor the entire first quarter.

But he wasnt in when the Clips built their lead in the second and the D started to struggle when somebody else guarded Cassell, mainly Banks.

I'm more worried about Barbosa, he is the main reason why the second unit is that bad.

Low scoring half for the Suns. Without looking at the box score, I'm guessing we shot 35 - 40%. We need to get Amare involved more, they have no answer for him.
We shot 47% from the field, 6/16 3 pointers.

The pace is too slow as has been the case in a lot of games lately.

Ugh...the Clippers are shooting 55%.

Diaw is active. He is not having the confidence of 04/05 season, hence missed quite some in close range + tos.

Also, Skinner should not play more than 20 a game. He is far from KT's level at defense and he shoots the 18 feet jumper way too quick. At least coach ought to instruct him not behaving like guard and shooting every open jumper the moment you catch the pass.

Here's another game where I'd like to see some time for DJ instead of Banks. His length is far more suited to deal with Cassell than Banks.

The crowd is so quiet, it's a wonder that the players don't all fall asleep.

Sigh. The Suns have been playing poorly but no timeout from D'Antoni.

Despite losing to the 2 worst teams in the league the Suns still haven't learned the lesson about going all out against bad/mediocre teams.

Nash has been losing the game for us in the 3rd. It's zone, you gotta sense that Maggette was behind you for the alleyoop!

And he agains has been dribbling around with no spacing gain, because he didn't involve Amare for most part. Oh, he turned Amare's one beautiful pass into turnover on the free lane to the basket.

Why not try Banks on Cassel?

It's one of the nights for Sam. Bell is on him now and gettting torched no matter what.

Our offense has improved the moment Nash stopped his senseless dribbling.

Banks guarded Cassell (without any success) when he was in.

Amare is involved in almost every possession, thats not the problem. The Clips want this w more, the Suns are flat.

After the egg they've laid tonight, the Suns better bring their A game on thursday night against the Lakers.

The Lakers are a better team than us right now.

I would pay Cassel $1,000 to grow out what little hair he has left.

When we're playing like this, who isn't a better team than us?

Ugh...the Clippers shot 55% in the 3rd, the Suns 31%.

Maybe the deep bench guys like Strawberry and Marks should play the 4th. At least they would give a crap.
