A. O. II
is the game worth watching on replay later even though we lost?
Wow I am Mr Negative Nancy on the Suns and they impressed me more in defeat today then they did in victory yesterday.
I am licking my chops for the statistic I'm waiting for: that we're no better on defense than last year. (using opp FG% as the yard stick) That will make me cackle at Kerr/Sarver/Porter.
13-24 on 3's for New Orleans. Good lord.
Totally agree,as well as getting Shaq a couple more opportunities.In this system Amare should be given more shot opps but that hasnt been the case so far. Yes he got 16 shots off but he should have got more and if he did you would see him going to the foul line more too.
What impressed you about the Suns tonight?
For me, it was how they relied on defense and a patient offense to close that gap with NOH to 3 points. I think Nash wasn't even on the floor during that run.
What do you guys think is a realistic time frame for this team to really come together? I mean how long before we really know what we got?
Nash is ****ing worthless.
This team still does not have a backup PG and Nash is showing signs of age...
Dragic is tragic... so far has not shown anything to be excited about.
I hate the crowd in USAC. Why are they always so quiet? Even when the game started, they didn't make any noise. Does anybody else find it strange that we have one of the quietest arenas in the entire league?
Here's an interesting note about last night's game. Dragic was the only player on our team with a positive +/- number. He had +2. Nash had -15.

I thought he played a solid game. The combination of Peja and West killed us, like they do every time we play them.

I beg to differ. The only reason we got killed was Paul. Everyone else just got incredible space for their shots and manuver following Paul picking our defense apart, aside from a stretch in the 4th when Dragic neutralized him and got us within 3-5.
paul played 40mins weds against the warriors and then 30 mins without a rest against the suns the next night. At that time, dragic "neutralized" him and scott sat him down for a break. In the first half, dragic did not do well against paul, maybe being tired in the second half had something to do with him being "neutralized".
You can't deny the fact that anytime Nash faces Paul, we lose, and in an embarrassing way. At that point, Dragic with his luck presented a better odd to get the better of a winded Paul-led NOH team. With Nash inserted back into it, that's sure recipe for humiliation #5 in sequel.
And, Dragic played James who subbed in for Paul equally well. And he proved his smart by stripping the ball off West when he surprised the latter by not following his guy on the baseline, for a turnover. This all suggests that he is good for his own right, at least much better a defender on Paul than Nash. With Nash's turnovers then, Paul's use proved to be overwhelming on both ends of the court, which finally did us in, as in previous 4 games. Confidence is all what this guy needs to be of great value to us.
that would be sad.Nash should sit out games vs TP, CP3, & Baron the Beard... Period.
