Suns @ Lakers : Game 3

[JS22]

This game is making me sick.

The Suns offense is making me sick.

Same BS from game 2. I almost just want to turn this off and do something else. My blood pressure can't take this anymore.

The lakers are just fouling constantly.....it's freaking non-stop and they're not getting called for it. Their freaking game plan is to foul to slow down the pace and the refs refuse to make the calls against them so instead we just end up losing the ball or missing the shots. Then we get ticky tack calls like Raja touching Kobe out by the 3pt line...........BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jbeecham]

TT gets his 2nd foul on a cheap foul with Kwame banging him for position.

Now TT gets his 3rd foul on a clean strip......

 

[slinslin]

Shawn Marion is pathetic again.

 

[HooverDam]

Marion and Diaw (and everyone really) need to go STRONG to the basket. Everyone is standing around on offense and we look horribly sloppy

 

[SirStefan32]

Just when I thought I was WRONG about Marion...

 

[Evil Ash]

Shawn Marion is pathetic again.

Same with Nash. This is another awful effort in which the Suns are driving to the basket for easy shots but prefer to shoot contested outside shots. Either that or they simply miss friggin layups

Does anyone on this team know to use 2 hands to get a damn board or how to control the ball while dribbling or even move without the ball? They're insanely lucky to be only be down 5

Another garbage effort. Someone please wake this team up

Great time for Nash to forget how to play ball.

Thankfully our bench showed up this game or we'd be run out of the building.

We actually played much better without Nash than we did with him.

I like our defense intensity even though we are not that good.

What I don't like is the guard play. Barbosa has very slow decision. Nash is very tense and after a few turnovers, his decision making is very slow.

Diaw and Nash don't run good pick&roll to break the defense. Diaw hesitates too much. He doesn't know when to go in, when to pop out.

Our ball movement relies solely on Nash and it's hurting us.

 

[slinslin]

We need Amare so bad... or at least Kurt Thomas.

Take away Marion and insert Amare, it would be such an easy sweep.

Well its not exactly like we have a say in the matter. Kurt Thomas, I still think this is a semi-tough series (what he does defensively and rebounding wouldn't help with our lack of O right now)

 

[jibikao]

I don't know how many of you have noticed from the re-plays. A good example is when Lamar went inside for a layup, Tim Thomas or Diaw box out their guys first and left Lamar open. What kind of defense philosophy is that?? You always, always stop the ball first. We chose to box out first.

We are not getting any good fast break points so please start fouling if we have to. Tim Thomas doesn't need to save his fouls.

 

[D-Dogg]

For a bit there the Lakers stopped playing the gameplan, and started taking long, quick shots. They got the lead back when they slowed it down. No more lapses, Lakers....this is an important game.

Chew some ass in the locker room, Phil.

 

[jibikao]

Barbosa is being exposed since game 1. I hope he learns a lot this time and makes better improvement next season.

 

[slinslin]

IF we ever stopped giving up all those offensive rebounds it would help our offense a lot.

 

[jibikao]

Exactly. We don't have our fast-ball game right now. How many fast break pts did we score since game 2? Laker is getting back on defense. We have no plan B on the offense end except shooting 3-balls.

 

[JS22]

Hey look, Marion GOES TO THE HOOP, gets fouled, and scores.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE IDEA!

 

[Evil Ash]

I've counted 6 missed layups and Steve Nash can't guard my grandmother

 

[JS22]

Even Walton is saying it: The Suns are just standing around.

 

[JS22]

What the HELL is Nash doing?! Parker has been abusing him in the post. So what does he do? He LEAVES PARKER IN THE POST to go double Odom.

 

[JS22]

How the f*ck is Brown not ejected? LOL, then they call a foul on Diaw!

....and Nash misses the tech.

 

[Evil Ash]

Worst call ever and Nash needs to go to the bench

 

[BleedRed]

Brown should have got booted, not just for the foul, but standing over Diaw. That was a taunt after a flagrant, give me a break.

 

[SirStefan32]

They need to sign Charles Barkley just to beat the living hell out of Brown and Bryant. I've had it with these two thugs.
