Suns @ Spurs Game Thread

[Amare32]

Will we hit 130 tonight?

GO SUNS!!

BEAT THOSE SPURS

 

[F-Dog]

Nice to see you back, Amare32.

Spurs are favored by 5 tonight, which seems right. I'll be following along by radio...it would have been nice if this game had been picked up by Fox Sports AZ at least.

Anyway, good luck to the team, and here's hoping for good games by Marion and Barbosa.

 

[JS22]

Anyone else notice that the rim on the Suns side looks EXTREMELY tight?

 

[elindholm]

Great run at the end of the first half!

Diaw is great. Unless he drops off a lot over the last 20 games, he should win Most Improved Player by a unanimous vote.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need a big body to put on Nazr Mohammed. They make him look like an All-Star. The Suns do not have the necessary bulk inside to counteract him just like in the WCF last year. There must be a player out there that the Suns could sign that would help.

Certainly Grant, KT and Amare would help but their future ability to play this season is still in doubt.

[keric]

Can we play any form of defense tonight?

If we did we'd be up 10 at the half.

 

[fordronken]

I can't watch the game tonight, I've just glanced at the box score. It looks like both teams are shooting themselves in the foot a little. But if it weren't for them missing so many free throws and coughing the ball up ten times, this would be a much tougher second half for us.

Fifty percent on threes has helped us out, too. Here's to hoping they shore up their weak areas and get some rebounds in the second half.

 

[slinslin]

F*** Manu Ginobili, seriously he is the only player I would wish injured himself badly enough to never step on a NBA Court again. I can't stand watching this dirty flopping bastard.

 

[Sunshooter]

should give Gino a lesson

 

[slinslin]

This ****ing flopper.

 

[JS22]

I am getting REALLY F*CKING TIRED of Manu. Will the refs EVER figure it out? The guy flops on every single play.

I hate the Spurs.

 

[sly fly]

Tony Brothers is the worst ref in the league, hands down.

He once again replaces Tim Donaghy, who shares his special talents for calling a game. In fact, these two guys have such good imaginations... that sometimes I think they're just ahead of their time.

Congratulation, Tony. You're a special guy.

 

[sly fly]

The "nose" goes down! The "nose" goes down!

 

[mjb21aztd]

We really need to learn how to rebound this is pathatic Spurs got atleast 4 offensive boards before they put it in... COME ON SUNS WAKEUP ON THE BOARDS PLEASE. Other then that its going to be a great finish hope the suns can pull it off.

We have been playing D, we just can't get a board to save our lives

 

[devilalum]

The volleyball routine is making me sick. It looks like the masters vs. the students.

 

[JS22]

102-95

Game over.

 

[Gaddabout]

The lack of defensive rebounds is ... glaring. How many more do we need? About eight? Sounds like a KT stat to me.

 

[JS22]

wow. nice phantom foul at the end.

 

[az1965]

Two things caused this loss -
- rebounding, and
- 5 on 8 game

 

[devilalum]

If we don't get KT or Amare back we have no chance against the Spurs.

Mohammed and Duncan will just play volleyball at the rim all day. That was very discouraging.

The good news is the Suns can probably get to the WCF without them. That would give KT some extra time.

 

[BleedRed]

Tough loss.It'll be interesting in the playoffs hopefully we'll have a couple of healthy big men.

 

[Sundance]

In a game like this, when any fart by Suns player is foul anyway, would it really kill D'antoni to put in one of our 7 footers? We obviously needed height, and Burke and Skita couldn't possibly make a sorrier use of the time that House has been getting. And maybe, just maybe, they could have grabbed 2 rebounds. Killing one or two of those 5-touch-offensive-rebounding-plays would have helped immensely.

 

[nickolaskus]

26 offensive rebounds!? Diaws rebounding beginning to drop off
