Suns @ Jazz Game Thread

[Nash]

need to find a rope to hang myself now.

 

[Cheesebeef]

why did we let 15 seconds run off the clock before fouling?

[Nash]

What a choke...

 

[thirty-two]

2 chances to tie it up at the end - can't ask for anything better.

We basically gift-wrapped this one to Utah. Again.

 

[mribnik]

Well, we were terrible last year with games decided by 3 points or less. So far it appears to be the same way this year.

 

[carey]

Is it to late to change this season's slogan to "Eyes on the no. 8 seed." And later maybe "Eyes on the draft." That's the level of play the Suns are exhibiting right now.

 

[slinslin]

pathetic we were up by 16 in the 4th quarter and D'Antoni waits until the Jazz are on a 9-0 run to call a TO.

 

[Cheesebeef]

shocker - we play a tough team, take a lead and completely melt down and choke like we have every other game against anyone but the absolute dregs of the league.

we're losing on Monday also and I can't wait for people to tell me how everything's honky-dory at 3-7, with Nash already havign back problems after two weeks.

damn, what a dissappointing loss.

pathetic. absolutely pathetic.

 

[az1965]

Diaw was absolutely horrendous in this game... I will be SUPER PISSED if we move Marion and keep Diaw.

 

[Cheesebeef]

pathetic we were up by 16 in the 4th quarter and D'Antoni waits until the Jazz are on a 9-0 run to call a TO.

WHAT?! We were 16 in the freaking 4th AGAIN?

I'm seriously starting to doubt DA's coaching abilities. Well coached team don't just continually blow ridiculously large leads like we do. That is VERY disconcerting.

jesus. I didn't realize we were up 16 in the fourth. That's just beyond words pathetic.

Cannot believe we did not have Jalen Rose in there at the end. I would have rather had him in there than Marcus Banks to shoot the three! What a tough game to have blown the lead again.

 

[Nasser22]

Marion's not clutch, trade Marion, Marion needs Nash. :rollseyes: I'm dissapointed in Kurt and Barbosa even though Kurt has done great this season he really choked. Barbosa, THREE CHANCES. Come on!

Marcus Banks....almost was ready to come on here and praise you for a game tying 3. Argh!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Well, we were terrible last year with games decided by 3 points or less. So far it appears to be the same way this year.

not in the playoffs we weren't. This team misses a clutch shooter BADLY. Too bad he's playing for the best team in our divison right now. But at least we have Marcus Banks to "back up" Nash!!!!

 

[hsandhu]

why does d'antoni insist on running, jacking up shots when we are up big. i'm not saying turn in to the old knicks, but slow down and try and play some d.

i dont care about the record, there's 73 games left, we'll get our 50. what i'm pissed off about is barkley is right, we won't ever win a damn thing playing this style. when 16 point leads in 4th qtrs are nothing, you will never win a title.

 

[Bufalay]

stop blaming the suns...thats lame

blame tim donaghy, its time for him to get a beatdown

 

[mribnik]

WHAT?! We were 16 in the freaking 4th AGAIN?

I'm seriously starting to doubt DA's coaching abilities. Well coached team don't just continually blow ridiculously large leads like we do. That is VERY disconcerting.

Me too. When it becomes such a huge trend, and when the team is something like 0-10 in games decided by 3 points or less in over a year, you have to question the coaches ability to make multiple adjustments during a game.

Edit: I didn't see the game but it sounds like we were royally screwed by the refs as well. Utah has been getting the calls for the last 20 years.

WTF? haha

 

[sly fly]

Absolutely depressing.

- Raja Bell needs to check his head. Quit making stupid ass fouls.

- Boris Diaw is a shell of what he was last year. He looks scared out of his mind out there.

- Barbosa needs to finish strong.

- Real nice clock management by the gang with under 20 left in OT.

- Shawn Marion had one of the most impressive and dominating performances I've ever seen from him in the 2nd half.

Just a lot of blame to go around in this one.

Of the entire game, the one thing that stood out the most was that jackass call on Okur's 3. WTF was that?

 

[Bufalay]

the suns lose leads because they get them by making 10 shots in a row and the other team missing jumpers, not by playing good defense or anything.

You can't expect the game to go like that the whole time...basically those leads are a mirage.

 

[Ciani]

pathetic we were up by 16 in the 4th quarter and D'Antoni waits until the Jazz are on a 9-0 run to call a TO.

D'Antoni is always late with his timeouts when we are blowing a lead imo.

And really dont understand why not we play some half court basketball when we are up by 10+ in the last quarter. We are not that bad at it.

This loss hurts **** badly.
