Marion just got burned by a Collison spin move. Sad.

Yep. Looked like a charge in real time, but it wasn't.

 

[mjb21aztd]

wow nice follow dunk by skinner their

 

[BirdMan21]

Wow Skinner

 

[HooverDam]

Raja Bells been ice cold from outside, thats no good.

 

[mribnik]

The Suns look very rusty. Lots of turnovers and missed wide-open shots. It's good to see that D'Antoni went to Skinner off the bench to replace Amare.

 

[mjb21aztd]

yeah whats up with amare 3 fouls already? But on a side note its good to see diaw playing pretty well

 

[carey]

The Suns defense is making me sad. I really thought it was supposed to be a point of emphasis this year but those young Seattle kids are looking like all-stars in the first half.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

well I guess D'Antoni succeeded in converting Grant Hill to an exclusive three point shooter.

I was hoping to see some vintage Hill but I guess that will be dead with D'Antoni ball.

In other happenings, I guess the whole Amare needs to stay out of foul trouble is nothing more than talk, Amare is marked like Mark West by those little troll **** refs. Amazing the only super star to not get the calls, another Phoenix first, outstanding!

Durant has no conscience. Only his second game, and he's shooting every time he touches the ball--and he should be.

 

[carey]

Of course that 1/2 court shot was going to go in... bleh.

 

[mjb21aztd]

wow what a halfcourt shot by wilkins thought it was durant at first lol... come on suns play some defense

he looks great but remember he is playing the suns defense.

this looks a lot like last night against denver for the supes

i'm really excited about the future possibilities with green & durant - these guys are so big and versatile

save our sonics

Diaw looks confident. I really like that. Bell is not hitting anything. Barbosa doesn't look like he is 100%. Amare looked good until he picked up 2 stupid fouls. Hill as a three-point shooter isn't gonna work. Skinner is looking pretty good, I hope he keeps it up. Nash is horrible. He is making mistakes that 2-time MVP should not be making.

They are playing some crappy basketball and they are still in it, so hopefully, they will go back to their game and do a better job in the 2nd half.

WTF is Hill jacking up all the 3's?? This is not looking good...

Half-court shot just had to go in, didn't it? /sarcasm

Yeah Durant will be a stud in years t come, he'll probably hit a wall at some point this year but overall you guys really got lucky with him.

the suns on the other hand will certainly be looking to convert Dwane Wade or Allen Iverson into a three point shooter from the corner within the next 5 years.

I am sure our great coach instructed him to.

D'Antoni ball isn't it awsome?, kiss the old Hill good bye, welcome the new 25% from three point launcher.

I was noticing the same thing. I am hoping this not going to be another slow start to the season.

 

[mojorizen7]

Listening to Al on radio. It sounds like the SUNS are not shooting well. How does their team speed look?

Hopefully he won't be a stubborn ass and realize that Hill shouldn't be put in the position to shoot 3's.
