Sigh...where's the defense? Lakers shooting 53.% through 3 quarters. They shot 57.1% in the 3rd quarter.

Looks like our only hope of winning is if the Lakers choke badly.

Lurker here..

I'm getting awfully tired of (Since we got the new GM) a lot of TALK about trades but nothing meaningfull.

Make a trade or stop talking about it! This teams defense looks, no. It IS atrocious.

We suck...

Grant Hill is great but other changes that needed to be made in the offseason werent made and we are still not using players that could be good producers.

Bell is useless, we dont need him anymore. Diaw isn't any better than last year, just awesome.

Uninspired play. Amare not a major factor. Another opposing big man scoring a career high against us. Suns again having to dig out of a hole late in the game.

there really is not a tremendous amount of passion on this team, they have talent but they don't ever realy look all that into it. It's all very euro.

What about your guy? Amare is completely worthless now. Man if we could have done this summer again and traded him for kg. How many people here would do it, 90%?

And what the hell happened to barbosa, anytime he does something positive I'm shocked.

Bottom line, we suck, watching this team is not fun. We never could defend, but now are offense is nothing special either.

The box score doesn't look much better: out-rebounded by 10, Amare only 6 rebounds, we missed 11 FT, 4 late in the game, we let Lakers shoot 52% and score > 120.

Something that amazed me last year, and amazed me in the off-season and now in the mid-season is we still don't have a very good 2 guard. Barbosa is inconsistant with the 3, can only penetrate and against good defense is stuffed.

People hated on me for suggesting we get Ray Allen, but he's exactly what this team needs. 19.0 more points per game.

Anyways. I'm sick of the TALK of trades. DO IT!

2 guard and more scoring is the last thing that this team needs.

Give me a defensive minded center, more rebounding, and a new coach. Absolutely pitiful effort today.

Diaw horrible shot selection

Marion horrible shot selection and was too passive rest of the time

Amare phoning it it, boggles the mind

Dantoni deserves most the blame imo. Lets let him enjoy the rest of the holidays with skiles.

Bell is only our best shooter other than Nash and still the only guard on the team who can play defense. Its just plain stupid to call him useless He cant stop Kobe, right, there are games when nobody can, thats not our problem.

Boris isnt better, but I liked that Coach D tried to use his post up ability, he forced a lot of fouls, which was one of the main reasons why the Suns got 32 times to the line, Lakers got in the penalty soon.

The main problem is Amare Stoudemire's defense and rebounding, Bynum owned him big time today.
