I hate allen.

 

[PoolBoy]

wow

 

[lou_skywalker]

too much fouling, poor defense and some bad calls :S

 

[Proteus]

The defense is still sucking in the 4th quarter but the offense has gone to crap as well.

 

[Blackification]

suns free throws - 15-23

celtics free throws - 28-40

they made more than we attempted.

 

[Andrew]

This team is so inconsistent.

[Ryanwb]

This game was called too close

 

[Blackification]

amar'es 20 points would be great right about now.

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 105-120 with 2:55 left in the 4th quarter.

 

[lou_skywalker]

lets hope they can pull in within 10
that would not be a bad loose

 

[Bufalay]

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.

You continually display an oversimplified knowledge of the game. Your attempts to pass your "rah rah" posts as "intelligent banter" repeatedly--to borrow an overused and obnoxious phrase--FAIL.

 

[IBleedPurpleAndOrange]

Wow, talk about NO DEFENSE. This loss was pretty embarrassing

 

[Dr. Jones]

Ahhh..... Nash getting owned by Rondo.

Sounds familiar.

 

[Andrew]

Way to go Suns, giving a guy a career high on his birthday and allowing the opponent to score a season high.

Here is to going down to the wire with the Bobcats and then laying 2 eggs against the Lakers.

WOOOHOOO GO SUNS.

 

[Proteus]

Ahhh..... Nash getting owned by Rondo.

Sounds familiar.

We should have had someone else guard him much earlier.

 

[Bufalay]

We should have had someone else guard him much earlier.

Who?

 

[TJ]

Didnt catch the game as I had class. Right after my test, I sprinted to my car to catch the tail end. Didn't hear anything except for Al McCoy bitching about late calls and the officiating. Judging by the box score, 63% FG allowed and it looks like Rondo owned us too. Suns should have had a plan in place to secure him, because he is going to be a focal point of the offense in KG's absence. The guy is dynamic like no other. I expect to allow more points in the Gentry era than the Porter era, but 63% allowed is unacceptable, at any level.

I wish we would have given them more of a game to demonstrate a true turnaround from the Porter era, but it just wasn't the case today.

 

[Proteus]

Who?

Whoever guarded him for the majority of the 2nd half. 10 points scored in the 2nd half on 3/7 shooting, 22 points scored in the 1st half on 8/11 shooting.

 

[elindholm]

The best defense against Rondo would have been not to sell his rights in the first place.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns always get owned by small penetrating PGs. Sadly nothing new here.

 

[mjb21aztd]

so how many fans sadly jumped ship again after this loss?
