Payback time!

Beat LA!!

 

[LV-Suns]

kick butt

 

[Proteus]

So does Amare guard Bynum? I see that as a recipe for Amare getting into foul trouble early.

I'd like to see Hill get a shot at defending Odom. I'm tired of Odom taking Marion to school.

Go Suns!

 

[az1965]

Nice start.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Diaw went to the basket and didnt pass out!

 

[bigfoot]

Go Suns, gimme a merry christmas!

 

[az1965]

Amare is not being used properly. Why in the world we have a dominant young man and we don't post up more often?? It is again D'Antoni's "system".

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Lineup of barbosa, bell, hill, diaw, skinner working smoothly. Very interesting to see. Granted this lineup wont work against most teams but they seem to be able to push the tempo really well with our top 3 out.

I agree Amare is very underutilized in our system. Theres no reason we shouldnt be running the pick and roll until he is blue in the face.

 

[bigfoot]

Diaw should grow that beard/goatee he has starting. Maybe it will make him look and feel aggressive.

 

[Griffin]

We were blown out by the Lakers at home last month and now we are playing like it's all forgotten, like this is just another game. I don't see the energy or intensity I expected.

 

[Proteus]

Sigh.

Looks like the Lakers own us this season.

 

[bigfoot]

did u see that steve navigation commercial?

 

[mjb21aztd]

dang come on suns pick it up not good that Byunm is tearing us up right now... 7-7 come on defense

 

[mjb21aztd]

oh their we go sick dunk by Amare

 

[tobiazz]

For once, could the announcers not mention that Kobe wore #8 because of D'A and that the Suns try to score in 7 seconds or less as mentioned in the book Seven Seconds or Less?

 

[Proteus]

Could we actually guard Fisher? Geez.

 

[mjb21aztd]

man we like giving up 60 pts in the 1st half to every team we play don't we ugh

That would be fine if the Suns were scoring 65 rather than 45.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

It's tied, calm down ladies. We will step it up after the half.

did you know that Nash and Dirk are best friends?

 

[Ronin]

Pick and roll defense has been non-existent.
Bench Points
Lakers 4
Suns 18

 

[Proteus]

Ugh...the Lakers are shooting 52% at the half. They shot 64% in the 2nd quarter.

We're shooting 46% at the half. We shot 50% in the 2nd quarter.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Our outside shooting is definitely off, but we are penetrating and driving very well imo.

Once we start hitting the 3s better this game should be in the bag.

 

[az1965]

Marion should not be taking 3's...

 

[PoolBoy]

how is that a blocking foul. HOW
