Suns at Jazz 8:30 MY45 HD TNT HD

[PoolBoy]

skinner was clearly fouled.

 

[mojorizen7]

theres a thread where i completely destroy that point. skinner is better.

I think you'd be right when comparing the two during the 82 game stretch but when it come to defending the post and experience i'll take K.T. in the playoffs thanks.

puke runs like he has braces on his legs...if he were on nbadraft.net hu\is athleticism would be a zero

the suns would get more production out of having Helen Keller wonder around on the court than puke pretending that he is still 24

We gave up 12 offensive rebounds and gave Utah ten more shots in the first half alone, while shooting 39%. I didn't necessarily expect a win, but I expected effort. I don't see any.

 

[da_suns_fan]

At the half, Jazz have 51 shot attempts.

Suns have 41.

At this pace, the Jazz will get twenty more field goal attempts.

Hard to win games that way.

Im sure "The Stache" will give them the usual:

"Play hard!"

"Run!"

i wouldn't...skinner gives us more blocks shots for the teams like dallas (dampier) and the Sterns (Duncan). he hasn't played a playoff game with us yet, so thats not fair to say.

Amare's defense is just plain offensive. When Mehmet Okur is spinning on you for a reverse layup at some point pride must take over, right?

Amare is worth more on the offensive side of the ball right now. the suns cant afford for him to get into heavy foul trouble

The blocks are solid but i believe the tempo favors having K.T. in there to defend down low.
We'll see.

Are you guys watching the TNT broadcast or the Suns one? I only ask because the TNT one showed an early huddle with D'Antoni telling the team that they can't play their usual style of getting out on the break when the shot goes up, but that they need to crash the boards tonight.

 

[mojorizen7]

Local 45

 

[Ronin]

Sloppy start to the second half.

 

[mojorizen7]

Regardless of what DA's telling his guys Green, i'm not seeing the box-out's.

 

[BigCountryPope82]

Banks hits a hot streak this game will get really close really fast

 

[green machine]

That being said, doesn't mean all D'Antoni is telling them is to "run, run, score, run, run."

god diaw has no power going to the hole pathatic

Yep D'Antoni has been all over the team telling them everyone has to rebound, don't run out, ect...

 

[JS22]

D'antoni must really, and I mean REALLY, hate rookies.

 

[mjb21aztd]

U Suck Diaw

 

[mojorizen7]

It says that he doesn't command much respect in the huddle. At least tonight.

 

[arwillan]

disaster.

 

[BigCountryPope82]

put DJ in the game!

 

[green machine]

It says that he doesn't command much respect in the huddle. At least tonight.

That is one way to look at it.

I would say that the bigger problem is trying to adjust the way the team plays on the fly like this. They aren't used to this style (crashing the boards) and they aren't exactly equipped with the right personnel to do so either.
