Suns @ Mavs 6/1/2006 game thread - Scouting Report: Mavericks vs. Suns

[az1965]

Yesss!!!!

TT!!

 

[Chaplin]

We are NOT going to be able to keep TT.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Thomas = pure gold

 

[SirStefan32]

Tim Thomas is the man! They better sign this guy for the next few seasons.

 

[az1965]

It's about time for TT. He had been quiet in this series so far.

 

[Evil Ash]

Tim Thomas is just going off on the Mavs

... and I was going to rip into him earlier for doubling off Dirk in the 1st qtr

The Mavs have no answer and Josh Howard is in massive foul trouble

 

[Evil Ash]

However after saying all that the Suns absolutely need to finish this qtr STRONG

 

[boisesuns]

Man, I just checked weather.com and it's supposed to rain tonight in Dallas. I guess it already is

 

[az1965]

However after saying all that the Suns absolutely need to finish this qtr STRONG

NOT!

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

10-0 run for the Mavs... that figures.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Why can the Suns never end a 3rd quarter strong?

 

[SirStefan32]

And Nash didn't get any rest this quarter :-(

 

[Evil Ash]

However after saying all that the Suns absolutely need to finish this qtr STRONG

Thats not what I call strong. Way too many bail out fouls at the end of the qtr and now it all comes down to the 4th qtr

 

[hsandhu]

I have almost no confidence anytime steve takes a shot that it is going in.

 

[az1965]

Why can the Suns never end a 3rd quarter strong?

They did game 4.

 

[Evil Ash]

Why can the Suns never end a 3rd quarter strong?

Why can't the ever finish off any qtr strong? It seems at the end of qtrs they start to half-ass it and get back into old bad habits (not moving without the ball, letting the opposing team get boards, etc)

 

[Evil Ash]

Back to back possessions and you leave Josh Howard and then Dirk WIDE Open

 

[az1965]

Nash is having a horrible shooting night.

 

[Cheesebeef]

what the hell is DA doing picking up ANOTHER T?

 

[Evil Ash]

Need to get Raja Bell out of the game because there is no way he can guard Howard right now.

Then we get consecutive Ts on Bell and D'Antoni. Are they trying to give the Mavs the game? Pull your heads out of your collective asses!!

 

[hsandhu]

Steve Nash may be physically done for the rest of the season, the three day break gave him a short term kick, but he is struggling big time.

And nice job with the T there Mike, when we come back from break mavs have two techs free throws, and possession, killer sequence.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Game fading away quickly.

 

[az1965]

It's getting out of hand...

Those were stupid T's in a close game.

 

[Evil Ash]

Game over

Moments of brilliance then followed by stupidity and then half-assed effort.

 

[hsandhu]

I love mike d'antoni, but a big portion of this loss is on his ass for picking up an idiotic T, giving up a 4 point possesion, and letting dallas start a run.
