Game Preview

 

[BuddyFranklin]

Amare looked pretty good out there to start. I wish they'd give him the ball more though. I don't want Raja Bell forcing fall away J's, give the ball to Amare.

It's almost like they've just got it stuck in their mind that we did so well last season, he doesn't need to be TO involved this season. Fact is he along with Matrix and Nash is one of the most talented players we have.

FEED THE MONSTER!

But good enough start for my liking.

 

[Nash]

the defense has been kind of sad to start. They left Oberto open for 2 10 ft Js.
Amare just never got the ball when he needed it.

Diaw looks slothful.
also, interesting to see Barbosa come back in to man the point instead of Banks.

 

[Cheesebeef]

those Diaw shots are going to start falling once he gets in better shape - give it a couple weeks.

I'm more concerned with our awful outside shooting -HOLY COW! WE HIT ONE!

Encouraged to see that emphatic 2 handed slam by Amare off the P&R from Nash. He took off from a decent distance too.

 

[Nash]

f diaw! he missed what should've been a slam dunk

 

[Cheesebeef]

HOLY COW! TWO 3's! Like the fact that Nash is getting a lot of rest here.

 

[slinslin]

Rebounding is really horrible in all games so far.

 

[Cheesebeef]

best I've seen us look all year.

 

[Cheesebeef]

man, KT gets his sh*t thrown back in his face A LOT.

 

[joshstmarie]

new rule needs to be made. its called the KT rule.

running substitutions w/o stopping the clock..just have kt sub out on offense/sub in on defense..

two blown assists 3 feet from the basket whithin 3 possesions

 

[HooverDam]

f diaw! he missed what should've been a slam dunk

That would've been a dunk for Amare maybe, but Diaw took off too far from the hoop.

Suns looking OK so far. Lets try not to leave Oberto so open, and they need to convert these 5 feet and in shots. I LOVE that they are taking most of their shots in the paint, pound them in, get the defense to collapse, then go outside to really pull away w/ the lead.

 

[slinslin]

Why is Amare not getting PT again..

 

[Cheesebeef]

ugh - the vaunted Shrimp line-up with Barbs, Nash and Chucker. Yeah.

where's Amare? does he only get 5 minutes per half?

 

[Cheesebeef]

amare got jobbed there - playing decent straight up D on Duncan.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cheesebeef]

for anyone who isn't watching - Amare justed AMARE'D ALL OVER DUNCAN'S HEAD.

Old school. He's also playing good D and getting REALLY weak calls against him.

That dunk was DISGUSTING.

 

[BuddyFranklin]

Take that Duncan!

Damn Barbs need to stop forcing so much sh%t! I've counted about 3 or 4 times where Barbs has gone up and the help D has come to him, leaving players open, but he doesn't dish, he shoots and misses.

Pass the damn ball.

 

[hawaiiansun]

Amare is a f'in BEAST!!!

 

[Cheesebeef]

WOW - total ******** calls against Amare.

 

[Cheesebeef]

amare REALLY looks good on offense.

wow - we are just getting ****ING SCREWED IN FOULS. AND I NEVER complain/swear about the refs.

 

[BuddyFranklin]

And soft call on Marion just then.

Amare has been dominant in the last few minutes. Nothing on D due to 3 fouls but very very impressive.

 

[Cheesebeef]

jesus - we've dominated this game, the Spurs are playing like crap and WE'RE STILL LOSING.

 

[Amare32]

we have played OK..hardly dominated.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Yeah that dunk on duncan by Amare was fing awsome but Diaw needs to start shooting more from the outside when hes open and he also needs to relearn how to make layups its becoming real frusturating
