Suns @ Hornets Game Thread

[Ciani]

why didnt we use robin and dragic so far?robin can bring some energy and passion and steve looks very tired

They were awful in the first half.

We try to hide Nash on D, but it doesnt work, the rotation is poor, and they got a ton of easy shots. Without Nash we can play their shooters one on one and the D looks better.

I really like what Hill brings to the table, the second unit is much improved with him.

Dragic feed me more crow!

dragic,yess!!!

Until the last few minutes I thought Dragic was DJ Strawberry Part Deux. Hopefully I am very very wrong.

i think this kid has some talent but needs to adapt a bit,when he gets his confidence he will play comfortably.

dragic looking good. also a nice pass from diaw to amare. peja is hurt now, we can really make a push here

I hope you are too. I don't think he will be amazing, hell maybe not even good, this year. But as long as he can just be "not bad" I think he could be very important to this team. Just play some defense, don't do anything stupid and make a couple good passes and I will be a huge fan.

Amare being with that second unit is really big for them, especially Dragic. Expecting much out of him when he's dumping it off to Robin Lopez and Boris Diaw is too much.

classy defense to paul there stoudamire,phew

 

[az1965]

Terrible defense... wide open 3's and layups

 

[cly2tw]

Against NO, we never seem to be able to win close games with Nash on the court. After Dragic sat, we've not gain any ground, mainly cos' of no def stops!

 

[jagu]

I played more D than stat on that last play and im watching the game 3000 miles away.

There was no excuse for Amare not to challenge that shot harder, but unlike San Antonio we can't hide Nash against New Orleans and all of our problems tonight, especially giving up the open 3's, are coming from Nash. Either he's on Paul and Paul gets by him easily and we have to commit people to help giving up an open shot, or we put him on anyone else and they post him up - and again we have to commit people to help giving up more easy shots.

The amount of open shots NO has had tonight has just been too much.

 

[jagu]

The Suns are playing D though, its just that they keep hitting 3 pointers like no ones business. We need a three point shooter.

 

[SirStefan32]

Oh wow, Nash is looking like Barbosa.

 

[Proteus]

Nash turns the ball over after the timeout.

And then the Hornets hit a 3 pointer.

And Nash with yet another turnover after the Hornets 3 pointer.

 

[passenger]

3 TO in a row by nash,wish dragic was still playing

 

[jagu]

Game OVER

Wish we had money to get Posey!
