Suns Vs. Denver

[jbeecham]

This should be a good win for the Suns tonight. I really don't think Denver wants to win any more games so they can try to get the best chance at Lebron James. I'll be at the game tonight sitting in the upper level. Hopefully the Suns won't disappoint.

This game might be a bad joke on April 1.

Maybe Amare bobbleheads are a joke as well. Lure people to the game and then......

It scares me that Denver is playing really well lately. They won three of their last five.

 

[JS22]

They almost beat Houston the other night.

I have a bad feeling.

Nuggets are playing well lately since they use a very big lineup of S.Williams/White/Howard/Camby(Tsikitisvili)/Hilario.

Williams is shooting well from outside and White had a triple-double and some games with nice numbers.They got much better offensively while their defense went down because both Williams and White are below average defenders.
Marbury probably will have in some trouble with his penetration against the 3 good bigmen.
Marion can be the key because noone of their bigmen is quick enough to guard him on the perimeter.

It won't be an easy game.

It's simple- play small- the Suns lose, play big- they win.
I want to see a legitimate Center in the game for 48 minutes, and I want to see a legitimate PF in the game for 48 minutes. If they do that, they'll be kicking butt in playoffs, if they don't they'll watch Houston- Dallas on TV.

 

[JS22]

I want to see a legitimate Center in the game for 48 minutes, and I want to see a legitimate PF in the game for 48 minutes.

Good luck!

There's really only one word for this game so far... that is UGLY!

I haven't looked at the box score, but with 4 minutes left in the first quarter I would imagine Denver has 8-9 of them already. The Suns haven't been much better protecting the basketball. Hardaway doesn't even look like he is trying tonight.

Marbury's gotta stop pounding the ball. Too many times, Amare or Lil Jake set him a ball screen, he dribbles around it with his head down, backs the ball up, starts pounding the ball again, gets another screen set for him, and then decides to do something with it, which tonight has been shoot it or turn it over.

Our offense has no movement, and I think that has a lot to do with Marbury dribbling around too much. If his head is up and he's looking to pass, he's find you 9 times out of 10, but if he's simply pounding the ball into the hardwood, why move and expend the it takes to cut if you're not gonna get the ball?

 

[slinslin]

The Suns are playing ugly as well. How many good passes did they not catch? Langhi? Voshkul?...

It is already bad enough that Jacobsen, Langhi, Outlaw played in the 2nd quarter but that they went to one of them for several posessions in a row made me sick.

They are letting Denver get all those offensive rebounds. They have 12 of those already and only 2 more turnovers than the Suns 15!

 

[Joe Mama]

The Suns should be winning this game by 25-30 points. They have played so half assed it's pathetic. Marbury is dribbling around too much... again. Hardaway a shooting well, but he's been extremely careless with the ball. One of my problems with Amare Stoudemire is that he's lazy establishing defensive rebounding position. He watches the ball too much. He keeps giving Denver's big men great position in the paint before the shot goes up.

This definitly looks like one of those games where we play to our compititions level I hope they find some intensity and put this away early!!!

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

I missed the first half, but I like how Frank called that timeout....it was kind of risky, the way the game was going we might have needed it later...but it obviously did what it was supposed to do. 20 pt lead now. Marion is on fire

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

gary and cotton ar elike 2 parrots. they just repeat everything the other says all night long. I like how cotton was upset about ano call travelling on harvey...claiming he didnt dribble at all. Then they show the replay and he went 1 step, dribble, 1 step shoot.....and cotton still tries to claim he is right. That just made my night.

Thank god we are goin to fox next year.

 

[Joe Mama]

Thing to this the referees are trying their hardest not to prolong this agony. The Suns have been getting away with a lot of contact on the defensive end. I don't think have ever seen as much traveling not called as there has been so far in this game. And I'm not talking about just a little bit of traveling. I'm talking about big-time traveling.

Harvey just gone away with perhaps the most blatant offensive interference I have ever seen not called. Amare Stoudemire had his arms rec. on the other end. Don't get me wrong. I would rather it this ugly game over with. It's been bad on both ends of the court.

Amare Stoudemire has so much potential it is just disgusting. He has the agility and athleticism of a good swingman to go along with the body and the power of a top-notch big man.

[thegrahamcrackr]

that interference was bad. cotton asked the ref about it during the time out....and even the official said that it was horrible.....now why there was no call i dont know

 

[JS22]

This isnt intended to be racist but...

Does anyone besides me noticed that 8 of the 10 scrubs out there are white....? Gah, Larry Legend, please come back.

 

[Joe Mama]

I wonder if Casey Jacobsen is still wondering why he hasn't been getting much playing time. That goes for Tom Gugliotta as well. These guys are getting whipped by the Denver Nuggets bench.

Joe Johnson can't get anything to go in the basket tonight.

any chance googs just played himself back into the lineup?

 

[arthurracoon]

At least the Suns won...

 

[JS22]

any chance googs just played himself back into the lineup?

no.

 

[Wally]

One of the ugliest games of the season. It's a good thing Denver is played terrible because the Suns needed all the help they can get. Marion has been a bright spot but other than that - TOTALY UGLY!

Jake Tsakalidis must have re-injured his back - FJ can't be that stupid, can he?

I will not complain about the poor officiating.

no, any nba player should be able to hit an open 17 foot jump shot.....against the last string of one of the worse clubs in the game

 

[3rdside]

Okay...i didn't see the game but 8/4/2 (p/r/a) doesn't seem too bad for ten minutes of PT.
