[Proteus]

Suns up 115-90 with 2:53 left in the 4th quarter.

tucker!!!! alley ooop from dragic

 

[zod]

Dragic is really playing well.

 

[LavaLamp2]

Lovin Dragic's play. Dudley solid as usual.

A double-double for Swift!

 

[Andrew]

Yay, another win.

Only 3.5 games behind the Mavs.

 

[LavaLamp2]

I like Gentry. He brings out the best from his players.

 

[AceP]

We are truly a sick offensive team! With a mere production of 13 from Shaq, 7 from Barnes and 11 from Hill, we still managed to score 128 ...

Dragic is getting better and better, showing more and more promise. I'm not sure it is Gentry doing the right work, or just Dragic adapting to the life in Phoenix and NBA games better after half a year.

I'm more impressed with Swift's 10+12 in 22m, and 1 block + 1 steal, that's really something we desperately need without Amare. I'm still hoping to see him play more at PF alongside Shaq.

Dudley and Tucker also did well, maybe they will receive more rotation time next season.

Dragic really played well for the Suns in the Wizards game. He seems to be playing better and better as he develops confidence. Now if the Suns had only drafted McGee or Speights instead of Lopez with that 15th pick.

 

[Proteus]

Very good game aside from the 2nd quarter.

Or Hibbert for that matter

nice to see J Rich carrying the load while our veterans get some rest. I guess the trade was not too much of a failure

 

[nashman]

just shows how much Amare dominating the ball takes away from our ball movement and offense! his gotta get mine mentality hurts this teams offense.

 

[slinslin]

LOL! Of course because of one game against the worst team in the league.. Worst post I have read on this board in a long time.

 

[nashman]

Its not because of one game slin your clearly an Amare apologist, this offense has been clicking better than it has all year since Amare has been OUT get it? Do you not watch the games? They have MUCH better ball movement since the ball actually moves instead of stopping in Amares hands and watching him turn it over trying to drive and yell and 1! Worst post what a joke your blind love for Amare is clouding your ability to view the team plays better without him and its not the first time!

 

[slinslin]

Ofc nashman, get real.. we scored 150 twice in a row with Amare when Porter was fired.

You are such blinded Nash fan.

Plays better without him? We are barely over 500 without him basically only beating the worst teams in the league.

Kind of like Edge on the Cardinals??

Your off the cuff statements are so hypocritical, it makes me sick!

And our offense didn't suffer a bit with big win against Lakers when Nash was out. Nash back, we prompt went on a 0-6 streak. And, the most important lesson from the lopsided win was, we won with Nash having only 4 assists, one of 6 players with at least 4 asts. It tells Gentry he should trust other players with the ball more, whose talent has been severely held back by Nash's dominating the ball!

Shouldn't you be calling others apologists considering you worship Nash more than anyone here? Cly2tw is right, you are delusional due to Nash's decline. We are 10-8 since the all-star break, 8-8 without Amare. How quickly you seem to forget about the 6 game losing streak after beating up on the worst team in the league.

 

[lou_skywalker]

we all know that this team can not win consistently against good teams and we need to rebuild this team if we want a championship. UNFORTUNATELY Nash is not the 2 time MVP he used to be and don't be too upset when Kerr decides to part with Nash this year. This team has to move on.

 

[Errntknght]

we all know that this team can not win consistently against good teams...

I, for one, do not know that. What I know is that the way Gentry has coached against good teams we can't win consistently. He hasn't got the huevos to use the bench against a good team and the old guys are dragging their butts around the floor in the fourth quarters. We weren't run out of the gym in any one of the games in that six game losing streak - we just pooped out in the endgame. Contrast that to the game against the wiz, who hung right there with us for almost three quarters then we easily waltzed away with the game. In virtually every game where the bench was used a good amount we've finished strong and games they weren't we drooped, wilted, limped, slumped...

Gentry has done a much better job using the bench than Porter or DA, but you are right, we must use the bench more on a regular basis no matter against who.

He won't be posting here anymore anyway once that happens.

 

[nashman]

Look you guys Nashman is a just a screenname I don't worship Nash and I acknowledge his shortcomings. You all can ride Amares jock if you want but he is NOT a franchise player and damn well doesn't deserve to be a max player. Harp on Nash all you want before he came here this team sucked ass and will again if we try to build around the idiot Amare who is as dumb as many of his fans thinking he will get better, hello he has been around for many years and still is as clueless as ever on the D end and its not lack of ability, its lack of desire and effort!! I will post here long after Nash is gone or retired slin just because you can't pull your head out of Amare #@$ and see he is a talented player just not a player to build your team around.
