Suns at Nuggets 1/15/09

Lol @ Doug Collins' "Celebratory"

 

[mojorizen7]

barbosa for hakim warrick straight up, barbosa adds nothing to this team, and we need a backup F/C hybrid like amundson except better.

Warrick is garbage.

 

[PoolBoy]

No. We lost this game because of the noncall at the end of regulation.

i saw your complaining the first time you posted it... both teams got their calls. chauncy billups got hit in the head with no call. Thats why you dont drive into the lane with your last possession. dont make the refs make a call like that with no time left especially when you are on the road. Barbosa trying to be a hero decided this game.

 

[dodie53]

is the raptors deal still on the table?

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 113-118 with 8.8 seconds left in OT. Suns ball. Suns timeout.

 

[Shzm13]

Wait.. it was PORTERS decision to rest Shaq??



Why the hell would he rest now vs a good team like Den and play him against a gimme like Min??

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That may be, but he still was missing wide-open jumpshots. This is his first really awful game in quite some time, so even though I'm upset that Porter kept him in so long, it's not enough to start calling for his head.

I actually like Barbosa. He just doesn't play well against teams that get physical. It limits his drives to the hoops and thus he pulls up for mid range jumpers, which is not his strength.

LOL!

First you say Barbosa is useless, and then you post this gem. You don't drive into the lane with your last possession? Are you freaking kidding?? If it's there, you ALWAYS drive the lane in the hopes of picking up a foul. WHICH THE SUNS DID.

 

[Shzm13]

Lets get a quick time out after this FT, Porter!

I agree, and tonight he just didn't have it. I'm more upset at Porter for playing him so much. Barnes didn't play spectacular, but he or Amundson would have been a better alternative, at the very least for defensive purposes.

 

[PoolBoy]

Warrick is garbage.

yea you're right, id take barbosa's 12 points 2 reb 1 assist 46 percent shooting and being a black hole on offense over warricks 12 points 5 boards and 50 percent shooting.

 

[Bert]

No. We lost this game because of the noncall at the end of regulation.

That play angered me because not only was it a non-call, but it was an extremely dangerous (Bowen like) play. It is UNACCEPTABLE to intentionally try to injure someon in the NBA and the league needs to finally step up and start suspending these guys for that BS.

You cant just throw your feet under someone and intentionally try to trip them or have them come down on your foot to roll their ankle. That's a DIRTY play no matter how you freakin slice it.

You know who decided this game? The Refs

no, you don't. because it wasn't there, hence him getting stuffed by about 3 players. you're never gonna get that call in that situation. how about a pick and pop with stoudemire? how about a kickout to j rich? how about isolate nash? sending hill into the lane was stupid.

 

[damo]

definitely admunson. Barnes had fouled out. ooooh, that dick bavetta makes my skin crawl.

 

[Andrew]

There you go, totally agree

Without looking (but I will after this), I am going to say Amundson was +6 on the floor.

 

[PoolBoy]

alright, keep bitching, thats apparentely what the team did, which was why we got slapped around in OT.

 

[jagu]

We lost but we played hard. Amare needs some help, how can a player with that much talent just disappear day in and day out. Truly sad. Hopefully we recover to beat the Wolves.

Sure glad you aren't the coach. You always try to get the foul, and if you remember, he had a pretty open path to the basket. But since you want to settle for a jumpshot... Well, I'm just glad you aren't the coach.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Wow nailed it exactly!!!

Why did he only play 13 minutes??

 

[Chaplin]

Barnes had fouled out.

Right. My bad. Still, Admundson would have been better than LB.

 

[SirStefan32]

Wow. That might be the most ignorant post I have ever read on this board.
You ALWAYS drive to the hoop in that situation- EVERY TIME. Hill did the right thing- waited for shot clock to go under 5, and was fouled. The refs just gave Nuggets this game, but Hill did nothing wrong.

 

[elindholm]

No coincidence that Barbosa plays bad when the play gets physical.

Or that Nash gets fouled on every play and looks amazed that he's not getting calls.
