We Lost This Game Because Of The Refs

no. we lost this game because of barBLOWsa

 

[SirStefan32]

Suns got robbed.

 

[Sovereignz]

Oh well.

We were down our best player, our second best player got in foul trouble and pulled a huge disappearing act, Richardson sucked other than one important shot, Barbosa sucked, we got absolutely hornswaggled by zebras..

And still could have won. I'm pissed about the no call with Grant, but whatever. We're a lot better than this Nuggets team, and I honestly pray to God we match up with them in the playoffs.

partly, but more blame goes to our dumb rookie coach for sitting your boy Shaq out. he needed to play this game, not the T-wolves

 

[mojorizen7]

Despite the addition of Billups the NUGZ are still the most immature team in the league. No wonder they haven't won anything with all that talent.

 

[Andrew]

Can someone explain to me how touching a jersey is a foul but a trip isn't? We had our chances, but once again the refs decide who wins.

sarcasm?

we lost for stupid turnovers,no efficiency from amare and barbosa

 

[Chaplin]

Porter is a bonehead.

For the life of me, why play Barbosa who didn't need to be covered the entire game, in OT? I know you all hate Matt Barnes, but he is a MUCH better alternative tonight.

And this whole thing about resting Shaq is ludicrous. Sure, he's old. Big freaking deal. He can play in back-to-backs. Doesn't mean he has to play over 30 minutes in each game. A coach is supposed to know how to manage a game. Make Shaq sit, Steve Nash HAS to play 40+ minutes! I'd rather play Shaq 15 minutes in one of the two back-to-backs if that means keeping Nash's minutes reasonable.

The no-call was pretty major. If it was a hack, maybe we could live with that--end of the game, let them play... But a trip is a blatant foul that should always be called. Always. The refs helped the Nuggets out on this one.

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

It was game determining major.

Lol @ the ref telling porter to sit.. and Porter saying he can walk up and down to where the line is at.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

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

 

[PoolBoy]

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

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 111-117 with 24.7 seconds left in OT. Suns ball. Suns timeout.

 

[Andrew]

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

 

[Chaplin]

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.

 

[Shzm13]

Lets go Amare

 

[LV-Suns]

Rack it up Amare. Rack up the stats.

 

[mojorizen7]

The refs sending this game into OT in Denver with the SUNS tired legs was a crime.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 113-117 with 18.9 seconds left in the 4th.

 

[Chaplin]

Please. Are you serious? Barbosa adds nothing to this team? What a joke. He's been our 2nd or 3rd best player on the floor for the past 2 weeks.

Get a freaking grip.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The line up at the end was the all suck fest for defense. Easily as bad as any concotion D'Antoni had come up with.

Amare, Hill, Richardson, Barbosa, Nash

You are basically saying we will win by jumpshots or nothing else. Amundson would have been a much better choice and far more traditional than Barbosa.

 

[Folster]

Sit Shaq vs. the Nuggets or the T-wolves? A win versus the Nuggets is more beneficial (a two game swing) considering they are ahead of us in the standings. Bad decision.

The Suns play made me want to puke tonight. Amare was a lazy bum. Way to step up with the big fella out tonight. He does not deserve to make the all star team. The guy doesn't even command the ball at the end of games; a cold Barbosa or 36 year old Hill get the ball while he looks lost.
