Suns @ Thunder 03-06-11

[AzStevenCal]

even with the bad calls and huge f/t descrepency, we still had chances to win and should have won despite the refs decisions.

We COULD have won but I think it's incredibly unreasonable to say we SHOULD have won. We were at the tail end of a long road trip, facing a team that is better than us, losing a key starter to injury during the game and all the while getting hosed by the refs. We just aren't THAT good, to overcome so many obstacles. I think it's a minor miracle we played it so close. No team can play a perfect game or anywhere close, we're entitled to some mistakes and missed shots.

Maybe we should shutdown Nash until he gets healthy again.

+1 absolutely

= tanking

Why has Nash played like complete crap ever since the trade deadline?

If he wanted out, I'm sure they would have dealt his a** out of here!

WTH are you talking about? You think all the easy layups Gortat takes comes from nowhere? Nash is still at the top of his game, yea he might be off in his shooting but it happens. We would not even be in OT if it isn't for Nash setting up his teammates.

Yea but right now we need scoring from him and he can't do that.

He was the best offensive PG in the NBA because of two reasons:

His ability to score AND set up other guys.

Now all he can do is set up other guys and sometimes even that isn't worth the pathetic defense he brings.

He's on the verge of not being my favorite Sun.

what happened to Frye?

 

[sunsfan88]

what happened to Frye?

Dislocated shoulder....out for the season.

 

[dodie53]

aw ****.tsk tsk

 

[ninous26]

So pissed off.

14 free throws for us and they got 47.. FORTY ****ING SEVEN!! Lots of bull **** calls on the refs..

No excuse though. Carter made us and broke us.. Steve.. STOP with those stupid ass running floater 3's.. You haven't been clutch since 07 and those shots you used to hit against Dallas and San Antonio are over.

IMO the refs handed the game to OKC, the suns managed to beat the refs AND OKC in this game but a couple of stupid plays managed to help the Suns beat themselves..

 

[ninous26]

Dislocated shoulder....out for the season.

Are you kidding? When did and where did this happen? I only caught the last few seconds of the game with the TV on mute while I was at work.

At the 6:28 mark in the 4th QTR. It happened at Ford Center in Oklahoma City.

 

[jagu]

The Grant Hill pass into the lane really hurt. The Suns should have played Brooks more in this game, and its amazing that the referee who was watching the Durant swipe on Frye didn't see that foul. WTF are these idiots getting paid for? Give Durant all the freaking calls, he can't shoot from the field or from three but he is like a superstar in the eyes of the NBA. When the hell will we get calls?

 

[ninous26]

Guys.. I am actually still mad and blowing steam right now.. This is one of the very few games as a suns fun that is bothering me..

It really feels like I have been screwed over right now and I can't focus on anything.. Jeeze.

 

[Evil Ash]

Dislocated shoulder....out for the season.

He's not out for the season. It was a minor dislocation, not a seperated shoulder.

Frye told Coro that he feels fine. Might miss a game or 2 but not a season ending injury

 

[AfroSuns]

Are you kidding? When did and where did this happen? I only caught the last few seconds of the game with the TV on mute while I was at work.

And Frye didnt even get a call on a swap that pulled his shoulder, that was just ridiculous.

He has an injured pubic bone *Insert dirty joke here*

 

[ninous26]

Nash injured his pubic in anger of his divorce.. He was pounding some expensive escort too hard.

ahhh to be divorced and single again

We were not favored to beat OKC at home, on the last game of a long road trip, we lost a decent player at our weakest position and had 14 free throws called by the refs to their 47.

And still forced the game into overtime and lost by only 4 points.

Despite Hill scoring zero points, his defense on Durant (3 of 14 shooting) was excellent.

As much as a "W" would have helped our playoff quest, this was indeed a moral victory for the Suns.

Despite some screwed up plays against a pressing defense, I am proud of them.

 

[ninous26]

Yes, guys you need to stop acting like its over as far ass playoffs go.. Nowhere near over.

We tied with memphis for losses (29) and they have 3 more wins than us because they've played more games.

We are better than memphis and we are better than portland, and denver, and utah, and NO.

I was curious what exactly an injury to the pubic bone meant. (Try to say that with a straight face.)

It is apparently not uncommon among traffic accident victims and athletes.

Here's the story.

On another note, we finished a successful 4-2 road trip (which would have been 5-1 if the referees didn't bet on the game).

I think Denver is the best team in the list that you named, and I think they give the Suns a boat load of matchup problems. I've seen a lot of Nuggets games and I don't look forward to facing that team, they are deep, young, and extremely talented.

Yea but its too late to settle for moral victories. Its March, we need REAL victories.

I'm not that proud of the Suns giving up a 7 pt lead in 3:30 left in the 4th. Then our 3 vets all make rookie & stupid mistakes in OT.
