Suns at Mavericks 12-17-2010

what happened tp Nash?

 

[jagu]

Elbow to the back of the head, tingling in hands and arm for Nash. Out for the rest of the game.

 

[jagu]

At least they are battling..

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 54-42 after the 2nd quarter. Suns shooting 39% with 1/9 3 pointers, Mavs 50% with 4/7 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 6 turnovers (Nash with 2), Mavs 4.

Sunss and Mavs both have 5 offensive rebounds.

Suns have hit 9/13 free throws, Mavs have hit 6/11 free throws.

Suns 7 fast break points, Mavs 17.

Suns 19 bench pts, Mavs 34.

Kind of an ugly game. Dragic still isn't capable of running the offense.

 

[Proteus]

Nice dunk by JRich.

 

[Proteus]

This is not going well. Suns down 65-48 with 7:51 left in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 75-55 with 3:37 left in the 3rd quarter. It's hard to win when both your offense and your defense suck.

 

[Proteus]

Have we played a good game on national tv this season? I can't think of any games off hand.

 

[Trifecta]

Have we played a good game on national tv this season? I can't think of any games off hand.

I believe we did early in the year...when we beat Utah I think. But yes, they're rare.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 80-59 after the 3rd quarter. Suns shooting 35% with 2/16 3 pointers, Mavs 51% with 6/12 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 9 turnovers (Nash and Lopez with 2), Mavs 8.

Suns have 7 offensive rebounds, Mavs 5.

Suns have hit 11/15 free throws, Mavs have hit 10/16 free throws.

A pretty bad game from the Suns. Time to play the deep bench guys.

It really is scaring how horrible this team is without Nash.

 

[Proteus]

Nice move by Clark.

 

[Proteus]

Hack a Haywood in effect...hahah.

 

[Proteus]

Clark's jumper sucks today.

 

[Proteus]

Haywood went 1/6 from the free throw during Hack a Haywood before the Mavs were able to get him out of the game.

 

[AfroSuns]

Hack a Haywood in effect...hahah.

Suns are desperate

 

[sunsfan88]

Nice move by Clark.

He's good when he drives but horrible when he settles for tough jump-shots.

He reminds me so much of Odom but someone has to train him.

 

[Proteus]

Hahah...now it's Hack a Mahinmi.

 

[Proteus]

Suns lose 106-91. Nice fight from the Suns in the 4th quarter but other that it was a lame game.

 

[jagu]

I'd like Gentry to design a few more plays for Dragic. Kid played a good game starting for the legend. Frye and JRich were off too much today or this game would have been much closer.

 

[desertdawg]

Games like this, with out Nash, says sooo much. We have some talent, but not enough.
Sorry for the Debbie Downer post.

Why does J-Rich always play bad when Nash ain't in?

Richardson used to be a good scorer for the Warriors and Bobcats and they didn't have Nash.

Maybe its a motivation issue. I say trade him cause he's one of the few with any trade value. We can add Turkoglu to him that way we get rid of a hideous contract.

WHY THE **** CAN'T THEY GET A TRADE DONE ALREADY!??

Suns need to look at the Rockets. Their always acquiring players despite the fact that they suck. And if it wasn't for all the injuries they have had, they'd be a legit contender.

Similar build but that's about it, IMO. He's a gifted athlete but I really doubt he will ever be an impact player in the NBA.

Damn, this isn't NBA Live! Why do you think it's easy to make a trade in the NBA? What in the history of this franchise tells you it's easy to make an in-season trade? The last one we did that was substantial was JRich and Dudley for Boris and Raja. These things don't grow on trees.

It seemed like the Suns shot themselves out of the game, they missed wide open shots all game from the first minute onwards and they don't play enough defense to survive a bad shooting night.
