Suns @ Thunder 03-06-11

[95pro]

VC is doing good with some rest. too bad he cant sit out every other game

 

[95pro]

usually those calls go against us, could have easily been a foul on VC or okc's ball.

 

[btimsah]

hi everyone. former suns fan, current okc thunder fan. (live in okc) Suns looking better after the trade but this should be a good finish.

 

[95pro]

roLo blocked again...

 

[Proteus]

Thunder are shooting 57% midway through the 3rd quarter.

All Durant has to do, is flail his arms and he gets an instant call

that's the nba superstar treatment for you...

 

[Mainstreet]

I have to hand it to The Thunder FO for collecting talent. They have a quality young center in Kendick Perkins just waiting in the wings when he gets healthy.

 

[AfroSuns]

Whoa!!! Pietruis sizzling

 

[95pro]

a lot of strippers are going to be happy if the kings move to vegas.
and how convenient would it be to have the kings and palms in the same city.

 

[Mainstreet]

Pietrus and Brooks... nice end to the third quarter.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 91-86 after the 3rd quarter. Suns shooting 50% with 10/20 3 pointers, Thunder 55% with 5/10 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 6 turnovers (Warrick with 2), Thunder 11.

Suns have 6 offensive rebounds, Thunder 5.

Suns have hit 7/10 free throws, Thunder have hit 21/29 free throws.

Very good offense from the Suns but the defense needs to improve a lot.

 

[Magnus]

I have to admit I didn't know much about Brooks and was kinda skeptic when they traded Dragic plus a pick for him. But now the trade is making so much sense... he can run the second unit great, and his speed is remarkable. A great addition to the team.

 

[95pro]

another barn-burner!

 

[sunsfan88]

Take Carter out & put Gortat in you ****** Gentry!!!

 

[95pro]

can we trade scott williams?

 

[95pro]

VC has been useless this 4th qtr

 

[Proteus]

Sigh. Another 4th quarter meltdown by the Suns.

 

[95pro]

using todays game as an example,
brooks only played 5min in the entire 2nd half. there are 2-3min there at the end of the 3rd. this give nash that much more rest in case he has to come in early, like at the 7min mark of today's 4th qtr.

 

[desertdawg]

Dumbest coach in the league, we are in it the whole game and then Gentry goes small ball! (playing without a center)

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 102-95 with 6:43 left in the 4th quarter. Suns outscored 16-4 in the 4th quarter so far.

What is this team's freaking problem in the 4th quarter?

 

[sunsfan88]

We lost this game because of Gentry. I'm on the "Fire Alvin" bandwagon.

 

[Griffin]

Suns outscored 12-17 with Nash on the bench in the second half, including 4-14 in the 4th quarter. Once again the Suns will have to dig themselves out of a hole late in the game. Brooks didn't play bad, but the Suns weren't getting many stops.

 

[95pro]

im not sure why we had that lineup out there,

we had 3 of the same: duds, peitrus and vc.
frye at center, and brooks at pg.

that's where we went wrong imo

 

[dziki]

I really don`t understand why Gortat had to play a lot during 3rd quarter and now can`t play any minutes. With him in game PHX looks much better.
