Suns @ Warriors

[slinslin]

Eisley comes in the game immediately takes a long 3.

Timeout Phoenix
Eisley turns it over and Dampier gets a slam dunk. 20-8

Jacobsen subs in for Amare, Eisley blows a layup and Dampier gets another slam dunk.

22-8

Another Suns timeout

Richardson steals the ball from Joe Johnson.


------------

Way to use timeouts....

Joe Johnson has not gotten 1 shot so far.

The Warriors 13 rebounds to 6.

-----

32-10 in the first quarter... this is sooo bad.

How can you play this help defense against the Warriors who don't have a big offensive threat at all?
So many dunks for the Warriors unbelievable.

Amare 0-6.
Marion absolutely nothing
JJ got nothing and foul trouble
Eisley = Horrible like always

Dampier has more rebounds than the Suns , 9.

Bad pass by Marion to start the 2nd quarter. Have the Suns not turned it over after a timeout or stop in play this game?

 

[Chaz]

Well I missed the first quarter. Turns out it was to the benefit of my blood pressure.


The Suns have never been this bad as long as I can remember.



Suns problem is defense, they don't play any.

I guess if I can watch the Cardinals I can live through this.

 

[slinslin]

The #1 or #2 pick would be a nice reward for this.

On top of that get rid off Eisley and White and add Kobe and Camby.
This offseason could be great but it could also be bad.

 

[Chaz]

The Suns are playing horrible right now. Actually to say they are playing is giving them to much credit.


I am thoroughly disgusted by the Suns effort right now.

They might as well forefit this game because they look like they have already started their vacation.

 

[slinslin]

Brian Cardinal has 23 points before the half....

 

[sly fly]

I'm tired of this.

I'm tired of losing.

I'm tired of rebuilding.

I'm tired of Golden St., Dallas, Sacramento, and Denver being better than us.

I'm tired of seeing Brian Cardinal look like Kevin McHale.

I'm tired of seeing Shawn Marion shoot 3's. And, then wiping his hands like the ball slipped out.

I'm tired of all these trades.

I'm tired of seeing S. Marbury light up the New York sky.

Feel free to add your own...

 

[slinslin]

I am tired of Shawn Marion shooting more 3s than freethrows.

Tonight 2 3s all missed and one technical freethrow missed.

 

[slinslin]

I am also tired of Lampe not even getting playing time tonight so far.

 

[scudney]

my list would would take too long to type out

 

[sly fly]

Look...






























Golden St. just scored again.

 

[sly fly]

At least I took the over (194).

[Chaz]

Well they are playing a little better.....at least with some more effort.


I can't stand when a guy catches the ball, is wide open, and a 5 Suns just stand there and watch.


Well the Suns just cut it to 12.

 

[slinslin]

So much for Lampe action tonight...

 

[Ryanwb]

Dude, sign Brian Cardinal and we go to the finals!

Give it up

Zarko needs to take much better care of the ball.

Suns are 5-13 from the line if you exclude Amare.

19 turnovers 18 assists. Speedy Claxton has 7 steals already and the Warrios 15!!!!!

 

[sly fly]

My God, Brian Cardinal is a MANIMAL!!!! Hilarious!

I can see the endorsements rolling in for this guy. Cialis, Hair Club For Men, Back Hair Association, The National I-Only-Look-50 Federation.

This guy looked like a 10th year senior when he was a freshman at Purdue!

Seriously, I love this guy.

 

[elindholm]

The only thing worse than being a Suns fan...

...is being a Warriors fan if they somehow manage to lose this game.

 

[slinslin]

They definately played better D with Frankie.

Now opponents are shooting better than 50 and crack 100 almost every game.
Unfortunately or fortunately , winning starts with defense.

 

[Chaz]

Wow even with the horrible first half, if the Suns had managed to play any defense down the stretch they could have won this game.


At least the second half was better to watch than the first.

Amare looks like he is getting more comfortable out there.


The Suns need to work on thier defense. They have enough talent to score. They just need more effort and execution with defense and rebounding.


EDIT: did I mention the defense sucks?

 

[Chaplin]

After checking out this miserable debacle, I have come to one final conclusion:

It's all Howard Eisley's fault.

DAMN YOU HOWARD!!!

Don't say that. Maybe the Bobcats are reading your post.

I missed the first quarter (thank God), but it is obvious the Suns defense is weaker with Amare playing than before. However, what he does on offense is pretty impressive. Now if he could just cover guys.

The game might have been much worse if Dampier had not gotten into foul trouble. He only played 27 minutes and still had 12 rebounds. As it was, the Suns actually outrebounded the Warriors 39 to 37; but Dampier did most of his damage in the first quarter when the Suns were buried.

Carbakapa had a "learning experience" as the Warriors routinely exploited his inexperience. He had his pocket picked a few times and completely lost his man on defense a few times. On the plus side he grabbed five rebounds and made an impressive block.

I thought Casey played pretty well and his shooting made a big difference.

On the down side, White seemed to be continuously out of position on defense. At some point D'Antoni is going to have to accept the fact that he can't use White in those trapping schemes, he will simply get needless fouls and leave the lane open. If they are going to use White, they have to go to a matchup zone or maybe a straight man defense if his opponent is not too quick.

Another ping pong ball.
