Are you not watching this game? The Suns are called for things the Celtics aren't. Watch the game...

 

[shazaam6]

It's moving and it's got eyes on it.

Eat the head.

 

[AfroSuns]

No doubt we will miss Amare, but if they don't put a body on Rondo, he is on pace for a 40+ point game

 

[95pro]

he always whines about calls. Shaq got called for a bad offensive foul, as did Barbosa. other than that...eh

barnes stripped rondo, that was called as a foul. the replay showed it as a clean play.

another was when barnes poked it away from rondo, that was a foul...and right after that they T'd up nash.


then i saw a travel on rondo that wasnt called, he passed it to dudley but dudley knock it out of bounds.

oh, and dragic's foul on pierce?? whats up with that? phantom foul...

im just calling it like i see it.

and we are failing to make shots, one and done.

 

[Ciani]

have to make every shot,hope the other team misses,can't foul so you give up layups,volleyball tip-drill rebounding....
smallball sucks

The Celtics played small ball most of the 1st half too, it worked pretty well for them. Of course they beat the crap out of the "big" Suns, they are just a better, deeper team.

 

[elindholm]

Well, as long as someone scores 140 this game, the streak is alive, right?

 

[lou_skywalker]

lets poke rondo in the eye

They made their shots,crashed the glass and played defense.

 

[LV-Suns]

Down 21.

 

[zod]

how many points does rondo drop?

 

[shazaam6]

21 point lead

 

[Andrew]

Jesus, get out there and push the tempo....DRIVE THE PAINT with the guards

 

[Proteus]

I just love this team's ability to lay an egg on national television. Suns down 59-80 with 8:40 left in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Andrew]

Like Porter, does Gentry put in dragic and wave the white flag this early?

 

[Sovereignz]

Shaq looks gassed, Hill not contributing anything on either end.. and the defense on the previous plays was bad but if Rondo of all people is going to start making shake and bake fade away jumpers you may as well just hit the showers.

 

[Proteus]

Like Porter, does Gentry put in dragic and wave the white flag this early?

Dragic could arguably improve the defense.

 

[Proteus]

Oh joy...Nash picks up his 4th foul with 8:21 left in the 3rd.

 

[shazaam6]

DEFENSE Important because when the shots don't fall, the other team doesn't run up the score.

 

[mojorizen7]

Oh joy...Nash picks up his 4th foul with 8:21 left in the 3rd.

Maybe he'll foul out and Rondo will meet some defensive resistance.

Jesus, get out there and push the tempo....DRIVE THE PAINT with the guards

You have what we like to call, "a low basketball IQ".

 

[Andrew]

There you go, continue to DRIVE THE PAINT

 

[shazaam6]

Barbosa brings us closer 80-67

 

[Andrew]

You have what we like to call, "a low basketball IQ".

ahh no, the C's bigs are in foul trouble, go in and run and get in the paint, get them taken care of and then spread the floor. Their main concern is offense, and the easiest offense is in the paint for this team.

 

[shazaam6]

Nice move Barbosa. 92-80 2:04 left in the third.
