Suns at Jazz 8:30 MY45 HD TNT HD

Another thing:

All the people clamoring for Banks and chastising D'Antoni for not playing him, well, this was his chance to prove you all right.

Instead, in his big chance, Banks has largely layed an egg here.

 

[Proteus]

This is sad. Only 35% field goal shooting for the Suns now.

Come on coach D, how about playing Strawberry, the other guys aren't doing much.

Why play Strawberry when you can play Piatkowski?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We only have 1 rookie with the team. It's been said many times.

Banks is being given his opportunity and is playing like crap (along with the rest of the team).

The real guy that D'Antoni must hate is Sean Marks. The Suns big men aren't showing any sort of hustle on the boards and that guy can't buy a minute.

 

[az1965]

Barbosa and Banks neither can run an offense.

Honestly, the chances are better that Pike could get hot and start raining threes rather then Strawberry doing it.

Doesn't mean I think it will happen, but I can understand D'Antoni's logic here. That, and DJ is a guard, Pike a forward. There is a size thing to think about.

Barbosa and Banks neither can run an offense.

I believe either could run a structured offense where the coach is the one calling all the plays. Neither has the basketball acumen to be free wheeling creators.

I'm sorry, but Piatkowski is legitimately one of the worst players in the NBA at this point. He was a good shooter back in the day. But he can't even hit the broad side of a barn at this point. You may as well throw me out there. I could be as productive.

I'm slow, white, and can go 1-10 from the 3 pt line while playing no defense.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Okur is embarrassing Amare tonight. It's not suprising since virtually every big man embarrasses Amare.

 

[mjb21aztd]

nice banks way to show up when given a real chance sigh

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Barbosa -21
Amare -20
Raja -19

That's all you really have to say.

He's been shooting the three ball OK this year when giving playing time, but tonight he is off.

Amare showed zero effort on a few plays, but Okur is 7-15..

The Suns have 12 assists to 8 turnovers as a team.

Anyone still doubt the real star of the team?

 

[az1965]

I believe either could run a structured offense where the coach is the one calling all the plays. Neither has the basketball acumen to be free wheeling creators.

Case in point, Amare set a screen for Barbosa and then rolled inside and was open, Barbosa threw the ball out on the other side to a three point shooter who ended up bricking it. I say they can not run any type of offense. Barbosa and drive, shoot threes and but cannot play point. Banks we already know.

diaw you fat slob atlest try to earn that 9 million dollars for one game we will never be able to unload diaw

 

[Chris_Sanders]

diaw you fat slob atlest try to earn that 9 million dollars for one game we will never be able to unload diaw

The only way the Suns get rid of Diaw is the package him with young talent or perhaps a big expiring contract. Oh wait Steve "the savior" Kerr and Robert Saver already got rid of those pieces.

 

[mjb21aztd]

i can't watch anymore this is sad

I'm so accustomed to Diaw being horrible, I haven't even noticed how awful he's been tonight. 5/2/1.

Way to earn that 9 million.

If we ever unload Diaw, it's with Barbs. Young talent with a good contract would make teams forget about Diaw's awful deal.

 

[Ronin]

Stick a fork in Diaw....he's done.

 

[Proteus]

This is just plain embarassing down 86-60 after 3 quarters. Will we lose by 40 or more?

We're shooting only 33% which is completely ridiculous.

Strawberry should start the fourth quarter.

I'm pretty sure if you looked at every game thread that you've posted in you have said the Suns were embarrassing at some point.

Frankly, I don't feel embarrassment over this, not at all.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Amazingly Diaw is only -12 despite leading the Suns in minutes. His impact isn't showing up in points or rebounds.

Barbosa at -28, Raja -26, and Amare -25

A joke of a performance by our remaining "stars"

Sorry Diaw is 3rd in minutes. The leader is Raja.
