Suns @ Heat game thread

[Chaz]

Well they have a chance to salvage .500 from this trip.

I wonder if Miami will go to a zone in the 4th quarter?


Should be a fun game to watch / listen to.

Suns better win this game.

 

[Billythekid]

Googs is on FIRE!!!!!!! 6pts in one qtr!!! Holy cow!!! He's in the zone!

2-2 after this road trip isn't to bad. I think we'll win tonight.


Looking back to yesterday, it was dissapointing, but I think Orlando aren't as bad as their record says.

2-2 will atleast give the team some MUCH MUCH MUCH needed confidence coming back...

in saying that... here's hoping we win.

2-2 isn't awful, but it isn't great either, especially considering the opposition. The biggest problem is the way they lost last night.

I only saw it once, but how in the world did they call that foul on Casey Jacobsen? Wade went over his back for a put back in a gave him the bucket and the foul shot.

What's Scott Williams so pissed about? Was he just yelling at Frank Johnson?

He was yelling at the referees for that bad charging call on Shawn Marion. He got the technical during the TV timeout.

The Phoenix Suns defense is just horrible. Their perimeter players might as well be holding red capes because the heat players are running right by them. They are fortunate that Miami is missing a lot of wide-open shots.

On the other end, the Miami Heat have started to play zone defense. And again, even after last night's debacle the Suns have four players standing around the three-point line throwing the ball like a hot potato between them.

The Suns are lucky to be only down by 5 points right now at halftime.

Are those halftime numbers really right? Are we really getting outrebounded at a 2:1 clip?

As it is CBS sportsline is showing that we're getting outrebounded 30 - 15 including 10 offensive boards.

And does scott williams really have 5 fouls?

C U Frank Johnson if you should ever land a job on another NBA team.

Maybe towel boy.

Part of it is this stupid defense that constantly leaves players out of rebounding position. Part of it is that even against the undersized Miami Heat when the Suns are without Zarko Cabarkapa and more importantly Amare Stoudemire they are undersized.

Why is it that when opponents double-team our perimeter players, especially Marbury, it forces them way out past the three-point line and disrupts the offense? However when the Phoenix Suns do it to their opponents their guards are frequently able to split the double-team and get easy shots.

This team is so frustrating to watch right now.

Down by 14 to the Heat? Greaaaaaat.

There is nothing wrong with our offense. Everything is fine, we have no problem against the zone defense. It is not necessary to make any changes.

It sucks, but the Phoenix Suns are the worst team in the NBA right now. With Amare Stoudemire they wouldn't be the worst, but they aren't in the better half of teams in the NBA. There goes another Miami guard on his way to the basket for an easy hoop.

Well Chap, you're getting your wish. Robert Archibald is in the game. Here comes Trybanski also.

[sly fly]

STOP THE GAME BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT!

 

[Cheesebeef]

wow this team really sucks.

 

[carey]

Down by 21, we look terrible. Frank Johnson won't be flying back with the team. He'll be in a coach seat on a Southwest Airlines airplane.

I wouldn't call it a "wish".

They just want to see if they can set a new record ..... See if they can come back & win after being down by 30

 

[fordronken]

So...what's the over-under on Frank Johnson?

 

[arthurracoon]

pathetic but funny

 

[Chaz]

Well we hoped the Boston comeback would be a spark, it wasn't.
The way the team was playing before the road trip we kind of expected 1-3 or 0-4.

I mean WTF, the only win was a miracle 29 pt comeback?!?

Granted they lost Amare against Boston, but even without Stoudemire everyone of these games were winable.

I can't remember the Suns sucking this bad since we started the season with Horry and Cassell. At least then we had the excuse of lack of talent. This team doesn't have that excuse IMO.

Who will last longer McGinnis or Johnson?

 

[slinslin]

If the Suns win the lottery they can get "another Amare Stoudemire".

Man we suck. And I thought we win this one.

We currently play with no shooting gaurd and no power forward.

Penny Hardaway is a disgrace. To tease us with yesterdays performance then to put up 1-7 shooting numbers...

I hope they fire Frank mid flight then throw him out of the plane... and whilst doing it... someone can 'accidently' knock Penny and Googs out to. We'll just dangle JJ out to scare the sh$t out of him... and to warn him, he'll be next if he doesn't pull his thumb out of his ass.

 

[Wally]

The Suns players are not as bad as they look - They have just given up on the "Game Plan" of FJ whatever the H#@L it was. It's pretty obvious to me.... FJ & his "Game Plan" have to go. The team needs the guidance of a coach they can respect and one who can intelligently manage & motivate young men. FJ is not, never will be, nor ever was that man.

Check your local newspaper classifieds for bargins on season tickets.

It's funny....reading that writeup, he doesn't sound like Stoudemire at all.
