This is why I want Gentry fired. Gortat is sucking and Lopez was playing decent yet he keeps Gortat in.

Gortat might consider using a pump fake before he puts up anymore shots inside.

We have no business in PO with a center like Gortat. NBA PO is not built for soft centers.

I can't believe we are only down by 5 points and we get the last shot of the half. We've been outplayed bigtime but we are still very much in this game.


EDIT: doh!!!

I don't have a problem with the way he usually plays but he's clearly just about used up for the season. Hopefully, he takes some time off when the season ends and works on adding a little strength and power to his game.

The thing is, when Gortat came over from the Magic he did not play soft. Perhaps too much pick-n-roll.

I think he's physically exhausted. He's not soft, he's weak. At full strength, he doesn't get man-handled the way opponents have man-handled him the past few weeks.

I agree he looks worn down and I have mentioned it before. Gortat needs to put on about 10 more pounds of muscle.

Good points, but my fear is, he is playing like this with a PG that gets you the easy baskets in the NBA; better than any. How is he gonna fare when he leaves/retire?
Gortat's one-on-one game sucks. Hopefully he will evolve or he best be ready to be a bench warmer when Nash skips town

Suns 49-42 after the 2nd quarter. :( Suns shooting 40% with 4/11 3 pointers, Jazz 41% with 0/4 3 pointers.

Poor shooting, too many turnovers (8 including 4 from Nash :rolleyes:), and poor transition defense by the Suns. :( We're lucky not to be down double digits given how poorly we're playing.

We're losing because of Gentry. Its COMPLETELY fair to say that.

If Lopez was in instead for Gortat then Lopez would have scored on at least 5 of the 10 shots that Gortat has blocked.

If Nash and Hill really wanna make the playoffs then they would poison Gortat's Gatorade or water at half time.

Lopez, Warrick and Redd need to see more time in the second half.

Grant Hill will not return in second half per Cheryl Miller.
