Suns @ Spurs Game Thread 1-26-13

When Parker plays like this the Spurs are pretty tough to beat. This hasn't been poor defense by Dragic, this has been a team effort. We've made it way too easy for them to set picks on Goran to get Tony free.

Okay, the Suns are rebooted after their first loss after the coaching change. Perhaps we can now start to see more of the younger players, especially Marshall and less focus on trying to win like the Suns are relevant this season.

I'm sure when they find the Ginobili Witch Project footage there will be video of him whining for a call in his sleep.

Just had to say this is funny.

I am disappointed -- no, pissed -- at the Polish Feather. Luis Scola makes him look foolish when he shows power to the basket.

Ali didn't just float like a butterfly. He stung like a bee.

OK, I got to have hopes of seeing a real Center in a Suns uniform for awhile.

BTW, they said during the game that Jermaine O'Neal has been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat.

Unfortunately, Zeller at 6'11"-245 plays soft, too.

Beasley has the physical tools to be a superstar. Too bad its fools gold.

man gortat is soft. i thought we had a real center when he first came aboard. now he's just all bark and no bite. he's an okay piece but not something that should be the focal point of our offense, i just wish gortat himself would understand that instead of flapping his mouth.

idk whats with the suns culture, when we should be getting physical our staff tells our players to back down.

like when Tucker and MWP almost got into it earlier this year.
and when scola and cousins went at it.

if the guy would learn to take contact, or seek contact he'd be living at the foul line. he has the tools to get to the rim but is just too afraid of contact or getting blocked.

and he just needs to quit stopping the ball. make a split second decision, either pass or attack.

Since he has been here, i have always thought he did little to deserve "The Hammer" nickname, but he has gotten a lot worse lately; playing timid than ever.
Makes me wonder if his soft play is a way to prevent an injury on a team that is not making the playoff.

'The Hammer' missed four consecutive shots right under the basket against the Spurs,,,,,he didn't elevate to dunk it, just lobed the ball softly up towards the rim. WTH,,,dunk the ball with both hands. On the next Suns trip down the floor, he threw the ball out of bounds . turnover.

At times,,he shows he has no stones playing against a strong opponent. He needs to play with some anger, if possible.
