Suns Vs Sixers Game Thread

God, could Marion play any worse tonight? He seems to not want to pass it to Amare. Frustrating!

that's okay - no need for a timeout DA... nice move by Amare - he gets NO calls.

I really think we're seeing the last year of Marion. With extensions kicking in next year, someone's gonna be moved and he's the guy who we'll be able to get the bets value for.

I believe there's a serious chasm between Amare and Marion and this franchise IS Amare.

If Diaw continues to have an average season, I will be concerned if they move Marion.

 

[Nashfan]

If you look closely at the expression on Marion's face he looks perturbed. I am not sure by what or by who but it is not good to see unless it is because he is mad about the way he is playing tonight.

I do sense that Marion does not want to pass to Amare. But then again Marion is not a very good passer in general.

Joey "I love Luke Walton" Crawford is at his worst tonight

 

[Cheesebeef]

Diaw actually has a pulse tonight.

man, Amare just doesn't have that jumper this year.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I don't really understand why if Steve Nash hurt himself on Monday, why the hell he's been practicing for the last three days. That just doesn't seem smart at all.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

can they hold the lead this time?

 

[Nashfan]

Why doesn't Marion drive it to the basket like that more often? It is way more effective than chucking up three's!

 

[JS22]

I think Marion intentionally doesn't pass to Amare. Actually, I don't recall the last time he actually DID.

[pokerface]

[Nashfan]

Yes! Amare!!

 

[pokerface]

we're just talking - relax.

nice put back slam by Amare.

Yeah, I'm surprised by that. I actually thought it would be the other way, where he would have a decent jumper but no ability to explode. He's got a lot of his explosiveness back.

I think the jumper not falling and his difficulty stoppping and grabbing passes, is the result of legs just not being conditioned yet (to be moving and quickly stop and bend over to grab a pass, takes leg conditioning). But believe me, he is WAY further along than I thought he would be at this time.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

that put back was sick, damn the haters must be hating right now.

I mean we got a healthy lead...thats all

i totally agree. I also think we ain't seen nothing yet even from his explosiveness. He's going to be a monster come mind-late season, if not DEFINITELY by next season. And that makes me feel very good.

 

[Nashfan]

Wow, Amare!

 

[Ciani]

This is the Marcus Banks who we wanted to see, he cant shoot the 3 but has a pretty good mid range jumper, and shows some good defence now.

 

[Cheesebeef]

that put back was sick, damn the haters must be hating right now.

were there REALLY "haters" or just people that were concerned?

 

[Nashfan]

God I hate it when Banks shoots threes!
