Suns at Magic 3/3

[Andrew]

Sigh....another loss when the 8th seed was in our grasp...way to lay an egg guys, be proud of yourselves.

 

[shazaam6]

This is why we need A M A R E.

 

[Proteus]

Disgusting meltdown. Pull the starters now.

 

[Shzm13]

Terrible

 

[95pro]

lewis falls down, foul on jrich.

 

[Blackification]

nash has 7 turnovers..

 

[IBleedPurpleAndOrange]

they had the game, damn it

 

[95pro]

95-105.
1:27 left in the game.

 

[Proteus]

Why are a group of veterans so prone to meltdowns? Sigh. If this was a young team it'd be a lot more understandable.

 

[95pro]

should have left nash out of the lineup.
i felt this way before the game started.

 

[shazaam6]

hack a Howard

 

[95pro]

holy crap, 6min without a basket?

 

[hafey]

The formula in the NBA is pretty simple. Get stops and good shots in the 4th quarter. The Suns have not been able to do both the last couple years against good teams. The Magic did both tonight.

 

[cly2tw]

Typical problem with Suns: When defense tightens, our offense can't create any space. For some reason, we didn't go lowpost to Shaq. That's the result we see. JRich playing dumb defense by fouling Lewis with 1 sec left doesn't help, as well as LB driving like under DA.

 

[binkar]

To many TERRIBLE passes killed us. AND HOW DOES GRANT MISS SO MANY EASY LAYUPS!

 

[mjb21aztd]

darnit suns way to blow it in the 2nd half suns were horrible with turnovers tonight ugh

 

[Shzm13]

We look tired as hell

damnit

 

[mjb21aztd]

Guokas pointed this out a number of times during the game, but when the pressure is on it's really easy to see what a symbiotic relationship Nash and Amare have.. even with as many weapons as Nash has around him he just looked completely lost for several stretches without the high pick and roll. Didn't expect to win this one anyway, but it would have been nice to not play like complete garbage in the 4th.

 

[Proteus]

The Suns have hit 29% of their shots in the 4th quarter.

 

[Andrew]

This team is bipolar, they win a hard fought game without Nash against the Lakers, and come out and lose to the Magic with Nash...

The Magic aren't the Lakers....

The 8th seed was right there......awesome

I am out.

very true even under porter when things got ruff thats what helped them get out of it even if the it failed to get amare or nash the shot it drew so much attention that something positive happened most of the time.

 

[95pro]

why let 6sec run off??? foul immediately or dont foul at all.

 

[Proteus]

Bench Nash against the Heat. We'd probably play better without him.

 

[Proteus]

26% shooting for the 4th quarter...I hope the guys are real proud of themselves.
