Suns at Nuggets 1/15/09

[zod]

Jrich has struggles with his 3's lately.

 

[Andrew]

I found it on sopcast

 

[Proteus]

4 turnovers by the Suns in the 1st 6 minutes.

 

[arwillan]

well they bounced back after that early spurt from the nuggets, but lopez seriously has a basketball IQ of < 5. 2 fouls in 4 minutes is ridiculous.

 

[Mainstreet]

So, we can't beat the Nuggets with Shaq, and we can't beat the T-Wolves without him? Then we are not a very good team.

As I said before I would prefer if Shaq could play in both games. However, if I'm looking at the Suns, their best chance is getting a win at Minnesota with Shaq. Jefferson will stuff Lopez through the basket. These are road games and one has to look at match-ups.

Cotton used to say play .500 on the road and win at home is a path to success.

 

[Bert]

LOUUUUUU!!!

Dang he can dunk! lol

 

[i am the bad guy]

I think a big reason that Shaq isn't playing tonight on the road even though the opponent is better is so that he can play at home tommorrow . I think management wants Shaq to play in as many home games as possible for the fans.

 

[zod]

2 on lue now.

 

[Ronin]

2 fouls on Lou

i still don't like the strategy. even if we were to lose to minnesota (which is FAR from a guarantee even w/o shaq), i'd rather beat denver in case of a tiebreaker with them or something like that come playoff time. Even so, i expect the suns to win because Melo is out.

Amundson has 2, Robin has 2. Shaq put your jersey on!

 

[arwillan]

can any big on this team stay out of foul trouble? my lord.

 

[Andrew]

Suns playing good, they are just gonna make me search to see the first 8 minutes of this game online though

 

[PDR]

ouch lou looked like he got ball shotted

 

[LV-Suns]

I am wondering why we even keep Lopez on the active roster. I hope he goes to the D-league when another guy is signed, not Tuck.

yeah i think we need to giver tucker a chance

 

[PDR]

dang nash to jrich....nice

 

[Mainstreet]

Small ball rules... at least for now.

 

[Ronin]

Good steal by Stoudemire. Suns doing a good job taking away billups passing lanes.

 

[i am the bad guy]

dang nash to jrich....nice

OH man! If J-Rich coulda picked that up clean we might have seen another 360 dunk!

 

[i am the bad guy]

Gosh these are the fouls Stoudemire gets that just kill me!

that would have been nice...

 

[arwillan]

birdman has really surprised me this year with his bounce back from that long suspension for marijuana. he's in the top 5 in shot blocks if i remember correctly, and he comes off the bench. good for him

 

[jagu]

Amare makes the dumbest fouls but the refs need to give him some more respect.

 

[SirStefan32]

Dammitg Dick, there was no need to call that foul.
