Suns at Heat 3/4

[Proteus]

Can we actually rebound the ball? Sigh.

 

[zod]

sigh

 

[LV-Suns]

Grab one frickin rebound!

They have as many o boards as our total rebounds.

OT: News of Greg Oden's further knee woes = further prove that he is Sam Bowie part II.
This guy will never be healthy.

 

[Proteus]

Argh...hit your free throws Hill.

 

[zod]

Hill!

Geez. Beasler is going off on us. Can't we have someone stop him?

The Blazers not drafting Kevin Durant is looking worse and worse.

The good news is that the Heat can't score 40 in every quarter. ..Right? They can't, can they?

 

[Ninjafish]

Impressive shot from JRich with a man right in his face.

Yep, Durant taking the MJ role in this ironic scenario.

 

[Proteus]

We're shooting 66% with 5/7 3 pointers and yet trailing by 4. Suns down 55-59 with 2:37 left in the 2nd quarter.

Let's not go that far .

I like Barnes but he makes about 3 plays a game that make you want to throw the remote through the TV.

So true. Right before taken off court, Barnes had 2 stupid TOs in a roll and let Beasley go off. Maybe just too tired by that time though.

Every night? Try every year for 2 decades.

I am there with you. My family has been season tickets holders since I was born and I am too emotionally attached to this team.

Durant is just going to get better and better. He has no ceiling.

Oden was not going to get much better and his injury problems were clear in college, he looked like a oversized clumsy and injured freak. Good kid, I feel for him, but Portland made a poor decision.

Durant's range starts when he enters the gym. He is a 2 guard in a 6-10 body with a 7 foot plus wingspan, and he can handle the rock. His offense moves are unlimited. On top of that, he can still add about 50+ pounds to his frame. Durant is going to have 30 pt+ scoring seasons.

 

[binkar]

Barnes is shooting the ball very well.

 

[binkar]

How are perimeter shooting left SO WIDE OPEN?

 

[LV-Suns]

How are perimeter shooting left SO WIDE OPEN?

Running the 3-2 zone.

 

[carey]

Highest scoring first half of the year for the Heat. Anyone surprised?

 

[LV-Suns]

Argh...hit your free throws Hill.

+1

 

[binkar]

Grant had an awful half. He may need some rest. 2-7 from the field, 3-6 from the free throw line, missed some easy shots, had a team worst -12 +/- and nearly let time expire at the end of the half without even getting a shot attempt off.

In other words......a freak.
As for Oden, IMO he could have been a better version of Mutumbo in terms of being an All-Defensive center but with a little more polish around the basket offensively.

 

[carey]

JFC, how annoying are Webber & Payton. **** Please.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 61-67 after the 2nd quarter. Suns are shooting 64% with 6/9 3 pointers, Heat 57% with 7/14 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 10 turnovers (Barnes has 3), Heat 7.

Suns have 1 offensive rebound, Heat 7.

Suns have hit 9/13 free throws, Heat have hit 8/9 free throws. Can Hill please actually hit his free throws (He's hit 3/6 so far)?

Suns had 10 bench points after the 2nd quarter, Heat 28.
