LOL I can't believe there still is a chance to tie it.

So that was a great play call, but wtf was Bell doing?

 

[az1965]

What the hell was that???? Why did Bell put the ball on the floor when we need two 3's to tie the game with no timeouts????

 

[Linderbee]

Well, I liked that they didn't give up at the end. We needed that fire a little bit earlier, though.

 

[mjb21aztd]

well that sucked glad that game is over

 

[az1965]

The team just did have IT today, whatever it was... seemed disinterested.

What fire? They f'd up in the end

Brain fart???

or something Doris would do

 

[arwillan]

yeah, we suck without hill. we've become very dependent on him.

Thing is Bell usually shoots that. The only reason I could think he would pass it up is if the play called for it and I just don't understand why that would be.

Blah, maybe I'm just reading in to it too much.

The couldn't have been called for it because we could not take a quick 2 and foul, we did not have timeouts left and couldn't have advanced the ball. We still would have needed 2 scores.

I don't know about the hardliner DA apologists, but I think we need to start working on more set plays without Nash handling the ball. The league has the System figured out and the only consistently working play become Nash-Amare with either Nash hitting a jumper or Amare making a tough driving shot. All the other easy scores are only exceptions now.

They have passed to Amare many times this game and the results are quite positive. The main draught of offense, aside from when Nash sat, was in the 3rd when Nash tried to get others going, dribbled around a lot with no spacing gain.

Diaw was working but not confident enough. LB was a no show. We really missed Hill tonight for a good one-on-one scorer besides Amare.

It doesn't look good with the Lakers game in two days.

I didn't say they didn't screw up, but they didn't give up, either. Sometimes you screw up even when you're trying. The back to back buckets by Amare & Marion were a good start, shame they couldn't capitalize & steal a win.

 

[Bufalay]

Dude Bell didn't shoot that three because he got blocked on the same play in the corner.

 

[Suns_fan69]

I'd have to see the replay but I thought he had a lot more time to get that shot off.

True. He doesn't have the spring in his legs these days to feel confident shooting it with a charging hand in his face.

Nash has free reign to shoot whenever he wants, but it's up to him to decide to be "selfish" and do so.

They just did not have their mind into the game tonight. I started watching somewhere in the 2nd quarter and that what it seemed. Careless passes, one on one shots, terrible shot selection, not much hustling, and of course no defense. I just did not see the effort tonight.

I missed the game. So other than ^, what happened?

It's not about him pulling up for jumpers off dribble. It's about set plays featuring him to catch and shoot like Stockton used to do. This way, we also happen to save his energy for better use in the late game situations and a longer career.

 

[oneofthesedays]

So if the Suns lose to the Lakers on Thursday do the wheels officially fall off?

I don't know. They certainly seem to be playing uninspired basketball lately.

 

[mojorizen7]

The SUNS will NEVER win a game under DA(or probably any other coach) in which they shoot 40% from the field and get out-rebounded 47 to 36.

 

[mojorizen7]

How was the overall tempo of this game tonight?
I had to work late.
