suns vs boston sunday

[ducks]

if suns win they might be ok
suns against clippers did nothing to impress me

[Indazone]

This should be interesting. I don't think the Celtics will be able to stop the Sun's 7 seconds and shoot offense.

[pauls931]

It all comes down to the celts getting back on D, if they do they should easily beat the suns, if not, they're going to be in a world of hurt.

[pawe]

And its not like the suns are just having a hot streak when it comes to outside shooting, they are running and gunning.
The Spurs were able to beat the suns at their own game, why cant Bos do it.
- I don't want the Suns to gain any confidence just for the sake of the standings but I hope they crush BOS.

I can't really root for the Suns, but it would be fucking hilarious to see them drop 120+ on the Celtics. :lol

[Xylus]

Doc Rivers should take a page from Avery's book:

TRANZ-ISH-E-OWN DEEE-FENSE
TRANZ-ISH-E-OWN DEEE-FENSE
TRANZ-ISH-E-OWN DEEE-FENSE

[RedsLakers24]

lets go suns, i hate boston and i hate phoenix but phx is the lesser evil

[pauls931]

I don't really get why spurs fans don't like the suns, it's not like they knock you out of the playoffs every year.

[sribb43]

if No KG, game is meaningless

[pauls931]

if No KG, game is meaningless

but it would be another W in the win column for what seems to be a challenging west again this year.

[sribb43]

but it would be another W in the win column for what seems to be a challenging west again this year.

meaningless in the sense of a statement game for PHX

[ducks]

no amare

[duncan228]

KG to have knee checked in Boston (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/basketball/nba/02/20/garnett.celtics.ap/index.html)

[kcplayboi_26]

no KG either for the game

[Agloco]

Scrubfest.....

No Amare or KG.

[pauls931]

Scrubfest.....

No Amare or KG.

Then that means you have to bench bonner when you play the suns.

[Xylus]

KG is more important to the Celtics than Amare is to the Suns, so the Celtics are at a bigger disadvantage there. With that, plus the fact that it's in Phoenix, I'd say the two teams are evenly matched.

[Ghazi]

Phoenix isn't that great at home.

[Ghazi]

And the crowd acts like its a funeral (it kinda is)

[mystargtr34]

No Garnett, so the Suns will probably put up 100+. I think they will win.

[Indazone]

I think the Suns can lay the whoop@$$ to the Celtics.

[IronMexican]

bump

Almost game time.

[TheMACHINE]

Go suns!

[IronMexican]

Go Suns Go!

This could be the first time I've ever watched NBA Countdown without one Lakers segment:lol

[IronMexican]

Wooooo!

[sook]

Suns haters? What did i tell yOU? They loook like a completely diff team

[boutons_]

Celts snipping at each other.

[Xylus]

Damn you, Shuttlesworth.

[LockBeard]

I'll admit it. I am glad PHX went back to run'n'gun. They were becoming unwatchable.

[Xylus]

Nash is really taking us out of this game. Stop complaining about the officiating, get back on D, and do something to stop Rondo. Why the hell do we already have two technicals called on us? Quit your fucking bitching and play basketball.

[Xylus]

Suns playing mediocre D and Boston's hitting all their shots. Their D is forcing the Suns into poor shot selection.

[IronMexican]

Was ST down? Nash has been worse than usual on D.

[j.dizzle]

Phx looks like garbage..I understand amare out but he plays no D so it doesnt matter. I dont know why ppl thought they would actually be good after a few high scoring games vs d-league teams..The sparks could probably beat the clippers. Hopefully they come back today but their D is just horrible, makin rondo look like freakin CP3 :lol

[Allanon]

I have a feeling Suns are coming back and winning this game.

... or they'll lose by 50.

[j.dizzle]

but i agree that refs give the celtics BS calls even on the road. They hold players on every screen

[BUMP]

thi is really the first time ive watched the Suns all year. my thoughts:

as usual their defense freaking sucks, the run n gun is obviously back, and Shaq still looks like he could be a threat in the playoffs.....if he was on another team

[Muser]

Rondo making Nash his bitch.

[Texas_Ranger]

Suns really do suck so far!

[IronMexican]

I'm done with that game. If I get frustrated watching Fish on D, I could imagine how Suns fans feel.

[MacGyver]

I thinh Celtics are gonna drop 140+ on Suns! :lol

[MacGyver]

Suns really do suck so far!



Why I block :madrun ?

Manager said so? :madrun

:madrun

[BUMP]

the Suns will never win a championship with Steve Nash as point guard my god. just no interest in defense, and it affects the whole team. Rondo ran by three guys and Shaq just reached and gave a weak foul, they just need to tank starting today and trade away Nash to anyone stupid enough to take him.

[Mal]

Suns suck.

Every inteligent team will kill this pieces of shit with their weapon - transition offens.

Suns defens are only Nash`s flops. Nothing else.

[MarHill]

No 140 today for the Suns!! It's a big difference from playing the Clippers and Thunder and playing the Celtics. LOL!!

[Xylus]

It's scary how lethargic we look today.

The only player playing with any sort of passion is Barbosa, which is no surprise. That guy loves the sport of basketball.

[Xylus]

This run is all Barbosa. Fucking love this guy.

[Muser]

Don't count the suns out yet.

[IronMexican]

Wooooo!

[Xylus]

No, this game is over. The Suns don't have it. One small run won't change the outcome.

Boston's coming out of this time out and they'll stretch the lead back to 20.

[Muser]

Yeah I guess, I will agree with your comment on Barbosa, that guy has a lot of heart.

[Texas_Ranger]

Wher's Goran Tragic?

[Xylus]

Suns have to contest wide open shots if they want to win the game. This is some of the worst defense I've seen all year.

[j.dizzle]

lets go phx..you gotta take advantage of this shit..Celtics are getting tired & their bench sucks. They need to put a real defender on rondo cuz he is owning them. If rondo struggles then boston struggles plain & simple

[IronMexican]

I've always likes Barbosa. I remember they said when he told his mom he won 6th man of the year, she broke down and cried. It must've been real tough on him when she passed away.

[Muser]

Suns bring it within 9, then Nash does that lmao.

[Xylus]

Since when can Rondo hit a jumpshot?

[Thunder Dan]

The suns suck balls

[j.dizzle]

Since when can Rondo hit a jumpshot?

rondo probably feels like superman playing against nash D. When you got incredible confidence in a game you can do shit you can't usually do :lol

[Thunder Dan]

Nash looks 40 going on 75

[sribb43]

For some reason i actually like the C's without KG..that punk bitch makes me hate guys like Ray Allen.

[Thunder Dan]

The suns should go to the local boys and girls club and pick up some tips on how to play defense

[der Kaiser]

lets go phx..you gotta take advantage of this shit..Celtics are getting tired & their bench sucks. They need to put a real defender on rondo cuz he is owning them. If rondo struggles then boston struggles plain & simple

Thats the thing the Suns look tired and their bench blows ass too. I dont see how the Suns keep running for the remainder of the season with those old ass legs.

[Thunder Dan]

The running offense is really working out, now they only lose by 13 instead of 40 in January

[Bandwagon Fan]

Rofl the Suns suck. Theyre not making it to the playoffs this year.

[IronMexican]

The refs aren't letting PHX get into it.

[Thunder Dan]

The suns are making rondo look like Jordan with their stellar defense

Suns Defense= just foul the guy with the ball

[sribb43]

Too bad the suns dont play the Clips anymore this year

[Thunder Dan]

The refs aren't letting PHX get into it.

It's not the refs, just bad defense

I like have they have the celtics 3 big guys in foul trouble in the first and they stopped attacking....great coaching

[crc21209]

Suns players and Suns fans getting a dose of reality, your team is not going to score 140 every night!

[Muser]

Suns fouling way too much.

[crc21209]

T on Shaq.

[IronMexican]

The refs aren't letting PHX get into it.

[crc21209]

Suns fans booing lol, tell your team to learn how to play good D, not foul on every drive by Paul Pierce or anyone else.

[Kriz-Maxima]

It was a blatant foul, quit your bitching and move your feet.

[Spur-Addict]

Game....over.....

[Thunder Dan]

Suns fans booing lol, tell your team to learn how to play good D, not foul on every drive by Paul Pierce or anyone else.

They fired the guy that thought it might be benificial to play defense.

[Muser]

Oh man, C's shooting 63%?

This is embarrasing.

[Thunder Dan]

You have Davis and Perkins with 3 fouls in the first half....so you start taking jumpers. The suns are a bunch of losers

[Xylus]

Suns players and Suns fans getting a dose of reality, your team is not going to score 140 every night!

Who thought that? No, seriously, who the hell ever thought that was possible?

[ducks]

boston misses kg

[Muser]

Boston are far more entertaining without KG

[ducks]

They fired the guy that thought it might be benificial to play defense.

yeah the players hted that and got their coach fired
suns players are running the show in sun land not managment or coaches

[Xylus]

This is the most depressed I've been all season. I feel like stabbing a panda in the face.

[Xylus]

Quick, someone say something stupid so I can explode and feel a little bit better. Please, I know one of you guys can do it.

[Muser]

This is the most depressed I've been all season. I feel like stabbing a panda in the face.


Quote of the day.
Man I feel for ya.

[ducks]

This is the most depressed I've been all season. I feel like stabbing a panda in the face.

nash d is worse then any point guard in the nba
he should have been traded

[IronMexican]

Parker's is almost as bad. Who the fuck is Ukik?

[dirk4mvp]

lmao suns

[Xylus]

Man, I feel like having a meltdown.

[Muser]

March 8th couldn't come sooner.

[Spurs Brazil]

How the fuck Rondo scored 32???

[Texas_Ranger]

How the fuck Rondo scored 32???

Steve Nash

[DrHouse]

Steve Nash's defense is so bad I don't even have a word to describe it. He just gets lit up like a X-mas tree every single fucking time.

[Yorae]

You mean this kind of defense???? Watch the hands....

[mogrovejo]

They fired the guy that thought it might be benificial to play defense.

Who's that?

I thought they only fired Porter, who turned average/slightly above average defensive squads (D'Antoni Suns) into a terrible defensive team (this season Suns).

Yeah, he talked a lot about defensive improvement, but it was just that. More amazingly: this season Suns were the best defensive team Porter has ever coached. How he got the "defensive minded coach" reputation is beyond comprehension.

[mogrovejo]

And any improvement the Suns got had nothing to do with running more. They're running as much with Gentry as they were doing with Porter in the last couple of months.

[pauls931]

Take it easy, it's just one game (against arguable one of the best defensive teams in the league). I'm not expecting much out of this squad this season, especially with amare out and having to change gameplay midstream again. I do however find it ironic how management keeps trading their best defensive players away. I'll forgive them for marion since it had to be done and shaq is the ultimate anchor when you need to guard dominant bigs.

Considering how many f'ups have occured and all the bad luck, be happy America West, Airlines, of whatever their stadium is called hasn't spontaneously combusted.
