Suns at Grizzlies game thread - April 8, 2008 - 5:00 pm

[Hat]

My apologies if this was already mentioned, but the Suns shot 100% (21-21) from the free throw line tonight.

They should have done that in the Dallas game.

and Cheesebeef, right there with ya man. If we beat SA tomorrow, playoffs are looking good. If it's a lost, they're not going anywhere past the 1st round.

We are such a pathetic team on back to backs. I wouldn't judge the future on that game.

 

[SirStefan32]

Whats the storyline of this game, just got home?

Any way you can watch a replay? Maybe someone's streaming it.

On a serious note, I don't know, I didn't see the game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

wow, the Lakers lose in Portland. Good lord, that 4th quarter collapse against the Mavs just looms so large in our playoff picture.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Yeah we would be tied with the lakers if we hadn't pulled a mavs.

 

[Proteus]

Ok game by the Suns. The offense was pretty good but the defense really sucked.

Playing the game as if it's a scoring contest isn't gonna cut it against the Spurs.

I wonder if the Suns can overcome their usual suckiness in back to backs tomorrow. Despite losing in Denver, I think that was the best I've seen the Suns play on a back to back this season.

 

[bigfoot]

back-to-back on the road? I think we already know what will happen.

Suns win. 107-87

O'neal is expected to play tonight.

“He was having trouble (Monday), so we held him out of practice and we decided as a precaution he’d sit out,” D’Antoni said. “He has to improve a little. We expect him to play (today).”

suns starters should have been rested more during last nights game.
sorry to beat a dead horse,

but at the start of the 4th, the 2nd string guys were doing a great job. keeping the lead, scoring, play nice D. nash & stat were on the bench.

then dantoni decides to bring them back in. why? if they are on a roll, let nash&stat rest and let the 2nd string guys finish them off.

ah just my thoughts there, that was somewhat frustrating to watch last night. i guess i just wanted the stars to get some rest for todays game(i.e. nash).

The game got within 14, I think, and D'antoni panicked.

that mentality is rubbing off on barbosa too, haha just half joking.

bell was on fire last night at one point. barbs has the ball(nash out of the game), sees bell wide open for a 3, looks him off and takes his own shot.

need to feed the fire. when someone is hot, give them the ball.

You do realize you are talking about Barbs? You need to be careful, he has a fragile ego... you are in danger of bruising it.

i'll write some notes down on paper next time.

I beleive it got down to single digits and he was kinda forced to bring them in so the bench didn't blow a game we need to win. Nash and Stat should be fine not like they played a lot of minutes.
