We Won't, We Won't ROCK YOU!!!

The Sky is Falling : Oh NOES!!!


Terry Porter, aka Sam Cassell v2.0, should have just worked on defense and not touched a thing. He could have just sat there and relished being a winning coach, instead, he's destroying my favorite television time. I was so happy to rid ourselves D'umbtoni's complete disregard to defense that I was willing to accept a huge change. Can I take it back? If it's this ugly against the Rockets, I dare not watch the 19th when they play the Lakers. We should only be playing set plays on teams that force us into a halfcourt set. Even then, if we can push it... For god's sake, PUSH IT!

• Let Nash run the floor unless we're playing CP3, Baron Davis or TP. These three own him and we tend to do better when he sits. Have him run the 2nd unit when said trio are resting on the bench.

• Have Shaq hit the boards hard and outlook pass to Bell. Sure Shaq has a good FG% but TO's are killing us.

• Extend Barnes' contract. We need him for the body checks alone. His offensive rebounds and clean-up work are a plus. Dude needs to stay.

• Amare / Nash pick'n'roll; Where did it go? Apparently this current system has Amare as the only one that can hit a jumpshot. Amare is the only Good Ol' Boy Sun that has stepped up his game. No complaints.

• Can someone please get Grant Hill a senior citizen discount? He can't buy a bucket in this current economy.

• Nationally televise LB's spectacular TV commercials in hopes to increase his 10¢ to the $1 trade value

• Get Lopez in the gym to put on some muscle; Lifetime Fitness also has its own barber shop so as the saying goes, "two birds..." Spend the rest of the year in front of a parrot that repeatedly says "GRAB A REBOUND, GRAB A REBOUND, Squwak!"

• Diaw... I know its hopeless out there being the only one out there that could score if you actually had the desire, but use that fat slab of a body and post up. Take it to the hole FRENCHIE!!!!

• Oh and Dragic... he should be weilding a lightsaber not a basketball because other than looking like the next Anakin Skywalker, he's completely useless.

PS: Yes its too early to declare any of this. Yes, I declined taking the head coach position. Finally, YES I was bored when writing this.

Very funny, but pretty much to the point! Sometimes, you just have to laugh. I am dreading the laker game, its gonna be a massacre.

 

[shazaam6]

Thanks. I needed that........

 

[jagu]

It's early guys. I hope we get some more consistency in the offense. These players miss the easiest shots its not even funny.

 

[Shzm13]

No complaints for Amare??

You can't tell me that youre actually satisfied with his effort last night. One of the top scorers in the league gets shut down by the legendary Luis Scola??

Meanwhile, Shaq was excellent against one of the better big men in the league.

Barnes shut down Artest. Love this guys game and attitude.

Barbs and Boris need to be shipped to NY.. Im tired of the complaining, (even though i do a fair share of it myself) their games aren't going to change.

How could you blame Amare? He only got the ball when the first, sec. and third option on offense failed, with little time to clock violation. And the ball went to others right when he nailed several jumpers to start asserting himself. Hence, his frustration in post game comments.

 

[Shzm13]

Here's a tip, become a better post up player, maybe you'll get the ball more.


He had one nice little spin move towards the end of the game.

Maybe he should spend a little time with Boris. He might suck at finishing, but his footwork is beautiful.

Get a grip on reality, scola always plays amare well and he had tons of help. Amare had 5 TO's because the rockets were smothering him with help, giving it to him more would have been stupid.

I'll take Jamal Crawford from the Knicks, at least he can create.

Lol, yeah.. Take the only current Knick who fits DAs system.

(Eventhough it has kinda worked so far) I don't understand why we are running our offense through Shaq to start the games. Run the offense through Amare and save Shaq for the defensive side of the ball where we need him the most. Amare gets touches. You can still run the P&R with Amare with Shaq on the weak side collecting passes from Amare out of the double team and cleaning up the boards.

My guess is that we run offense through Shaq to get him going early and make things easier for everyone else. That way you have 3 major threats (Shaq, Stoudemire, and Nash). Additionally, he IS the best post up player we have, and is a much passer than Amare.

Going to Shaq early is one of the few things I really like about our offense. It's one of the things that actually works.

I completely agree. I think going through Shaq is the right strategy. However, I think were the Suns are screwing the pooch is when Shaq goes to the bench. Amare is usually still out there and they don't even try and post up Amare or run the pick and roll.

Amare has been relegated to roaming the paint when Shaq goes to the bench. I noticed in the last game that as soon as Shaq went to the bench the perimeter players took it as a free for all. Maybe they saw it as a chance to "get theirs"??? Because it sure looked like they were not looking for Amare for huge stretches.

You nailed it! You're exactly right. Porter needs to make it clear that when Shaq goes to the bench, Amare becomes Shaq, unless there is a major mismatch somewhere.

Shaq or Amare should have the basketball in the low post on EVERY possession with the obvious exception of fastbreaks.

It is too early for me to agree with you but something has to change.

Loosen the offense, or they won't play hard defense either if they start to rebel against Porter.

What a bunch of rich, spoiled children if that happens though.

We need tickets behind the Suns bench to yell at the players and coaches to remind them.

Seriously though...I am going to watch for this again tonight.

Yes.
As far as Porter's approach thus far, i have few complaints other than i expected a little more discipline on defense. Also there have been a few times where i felt a T.O. was warranted & Porter failed(not as miserably as DA) but thats about it. It's still early though.

 

[mojorizen7]

You nailed it! You're exactly right. Porter needs to make it clear to NASH when Shaq goes to the bench, Amare becomes Shaq, unless there is a major mismatch somewhere.

FTFY

We've won 70% of our games and you're already saying he sucks. Really???

[Cheesebeef]

here's the problem no one wants to admit. Amare isn't smart enough to have the offense run through him and Nash isn't in a system to run the offense through him anymore. You can't just say "make Amare Shaq" because Amare doesn't have HALF the intelligence that Shaq does in having an O around him. He doesn't have the post game, he doesn't command the double on the post and he's not the passer Shaq is out of the post, or even on the perimeter.

unfortunately, what I think we're finding out is that Amare (and this is a sad realization I've come to) is a number 2.

 

[Wonder]

I think Amare is getting better with that however. He's shown only little signs of leadership, but his passing ability has picked up this year. He's only improved as a player over this short career of his and you'd have to admit that.

 

[JS22]

You have got to be kidding me.

This team is 7-3 and learning a completely new offensive / defensive scheme. Not to mention the fact that they've been missing players nearly every night. I bet 90% of the people complaining are the same people that wanted D'antoni gone.
