after an entire pre-season of shoooting the three like crap and doing the same in the first three games of the season (garbage time threes against the Lakers do nothing for me), when do we start to worry that this team can't shoot the ball?

the moment Marion starts camping out at the 3 pt line, it spells doom for the Suns. with a shot as ugly as that, i would want to avoid putting up a public display of it.

that a-hole Diaw ate up 45M and has become snack happy. he literally is 3D now with that fat ass of his.

crap. this sucks.

edit: how about some O rebounding?

I think this team is suffering from "too many cooks in the kitchen" which plauged some really talented teams like Trailblazers in the late 90's. There is no go to guy because there is so much talent on the team

meanwhile, the Laker somehow look like the Suns - I know they're playing the Sonics, but they are running and gunning out there. Odom looks like something's finally clicked in his head... which is BAD news.

The three does seem to be a favorite.

Nash made a nice dish on the last play.

it no doubt always have - it just seems like we can't shoot them the way we used to. Looks like Barbs is having another great game though. Love to see at least one of the guys we signed to an extension put in the work this offseason.

We're gonna take time.. no question. Although we would certainly be smoother on offense if our 45 million dollar man actually handled himself professionally. I hate to keep harping on this, but come on, this is something greg ostertag would do. He's played 16 mins, with no foul trouble.

They better be ripping his ass up behind the scenes.

so, in three games, we've blown 19 and 15 point leads against mediocre teams. Great.

Once again defense costs us. They need to learn to play on both ends for more than 2 quarters of a game. Utah isnt a bad team, but we still should have won considering we controlled for most of the 2nd half.

Zero tolerance on technical fouls is garbage. Every time a ref blows a call and a player reacts, there's a tech. They wanted to improve the class of the game, but it's just making it worse.

What's new, blowing a big lead is a common thing for the Suns. Not trying to be down, but its just because of the run and gun style.
