Suns don't rebound so ref calls foul on Nash for blocking out Okur. "Oh brother"

The way the ball is bouncing off their hands, one would have to think the Suns have the smallest hands in the league

LOL @ Suns playing defense. It's comical to watch. They have no idea.

Scary isn't it! Most teams when up 15, their fans can relax. With us, its the opposite!

C'mon.There is no such thing in the NBA, have you been watching the games lately. Wasn't Utah up by 12 before we took the lead?

If you want to debate everything go ahead. Don't be blind to the Suns' follies. They suck when they have a lead, because they can't play D and their offense is too erratic to be sustained for an entire game.

The fact that the Suns cant play D is no breaking News. Yes they lost because they suck in that dept. But your statement that a 15pts lead is secure in the NBA is ridiculous.

The loss doesn't hurt , Dragic was a beast :) I'm just looking forward now anyway. Amare with another solid 5 rebound game. Lock him up to a max deal NOW.

As bad as we play defensively, we would have still won this game if we could only rebound the ball. Jazz outrebounded us 48-31, including 13 offensive rebounds. Boozer alone with 20 boards. Amare with 5. That's as many as Nash had. Lopez with 4. Frye with 3. Another big lead blown. Another loss. Same story.

I wanna know how many other teams' fans panic when they get 15 point leads. I'm sure it isn't many, especially for an over .500 Western Conf. basketball team. So I don't think my statement was ridiculous at all.

We must hire a defense/rebounding coach. Suns gameplan is the definition of insanity.

This lack of mental toughness is really starting to irritate me and question how Gentry is handling this team off the court. Its not one player who is responsible for this, its the entire team. Nash starts committing multiple turnovers, STAT does not go for rebounds anymore, J-Rich forces up jumpers and everyone else just starts to fall apart. How has this issue not been addressed??

I don't know about other fans but i have seen good defensive teams go down after a double digit lead. The Suns have had this reputation for a couple of seasons of letting teams back in the game, but we all know irrespective of the team; it ain't over until.....................
The problem is on both end of the court, they cant score and they cant stop, yes good team play good defense but that will fail eventually if that is all you play.
I think the coaching staff is as much to blame for this breakdown as the players.

Amare looked like he was sleep walking out there tonight. Not what anyone would expect from a top four player which he perceives himself to be.

Dragic had an awesome game.

I don't recall it happening tonight but the announcers drive me crazy when they describe Lopez as a strong player.

Can we petition the league to shorten games from 4 quarters to 2 or 3 quarters? :p

Also I think Clark is now ready to take Dudley's minutes.
