Ibaka would have been a real nice Amare backup...

 

[slinslin]

Seriously Frye is useless on the boards, he had inside position on Ibaka and still allows him 2 or 3 tips..

 

[Proteus]

Not a good start for the Suns in the 2nd quarter as they're outscored 7-0.

 

[95pro]

pretty weird how they call a foul on frye instead of a jump ball.

where as when it was amare and durant, a very quick jump ball was called.

 

[95pro]

The way Amare limped scares me, hopefully it is not the knee. Maybe a sprain or something.

yeah i noticed that too. he wa a little gimpy, kind of jogged back a little late and slow. he seems fine now.

 

[Proteus]

Come on guys...hit your free throws.

 

[95pro]

strong move by dragic, but no call

 

[95pro]

not even a foul by jrich, i hate this crawford guy

 

[Proteus]

Nash with 3 turnovers in the 1st half.

 

[AfroSuns]

Westbrook abusing Nash and what is up with Nash crawling up the court now, almost committing violation bringing the ball up court

 

[Proteus]

Ah... Phoenix Suns basketball...where the Suns shoot 58% to 43% for the Thunder but are losing. Suns down 57-58 after the 2nd quarter. Suns have hit 4/8 3 pointers, Thunder 2/7.

Suns have committed 9 turnovers (Nash with 3), Thunder 5.

Suns have 6 offensive rebounds, Thunder 10.

Suns have hit 7/11 free throws, Thunder have hit 14/15 free throws.

 

[95pro]

our lack of a big man who change/block shots and can rebound
is showing in this game

Why not try Dwayne Jones?

I would like to see the Suns put Clark in the 3rd quarter, just to see what energy he can bring to the team. The Thunder have Jeff Green at the 4, and Collison at the 5, so they're not exactly a big team. Clark is taller than both of them, so I would like to see what impact he would have on the game.

 

[Proteus]

Argh...2 turnovers on the Suns 1st 2 possesions to to start the 3rd quarter.

 

[95pro]

jones or clark would be better than collins at this point.

im all for giving jones a shot. but its not realistic in this meaningful game.

 

[Proteus]

3 turnovers by the Suns in the 1st 4 minutes of the 3rd quarter.

 

[Proteus]

4 turnovers by the Suns, 3 of them by Amare, in the 1st 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter.

 

[95pro]

green flops, amare gets the foul.

 

[95pro]

another stupid foul called on jrich.

now crawford T's up amare from across the floor.
amare clapped 2x, and he gets a T.

 

[SunsFanVegas]

geeze

 

[95pro]

pretty messed up, amare's arms were up, crawford calling another foul on him

 

[95pro]

i wish our center would not float around the 3pt line, maybe roll to the glass every once in a while, oh and maybe get an offensive rebound??

 

[Proteus]

Only 7 points scored by the Suns in the 3rd quarter so far. Suns down 64-72 with 2:31 left in the 3rd quarter.
