Suns vs. Blazers Game 2 thread

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Must win game for Phoenix. Hopefully the NBATV assignment helps the nervous pussies on the team who choke on ESPN and TNT (I'm talking to you Frye, Hill and Barbosa). Since I'll be stoned out of my mind the entire game I won't be spamming this thread with my negative comments.

[oh crap]

let's go portland

[picc84]

Most interesting game tonight.

I hope the Blazers give you an ass pounding your won't soon ferget, Duncan.

[Fpoonsie]

With D'Antoni and Bell gone, I wouldn't mind seeing PHO compete for a 'chip. I love Nash, and Amar'e is finally growing on me (if only he'd stop mean-mug-posing after every dunk).

So that being said, let's go, Suns.

[Jeremy]

The Blazers have recognized that the Suns are now built around Amare, and they are trying to take him out of the game as much as possible.

What would be interesting is if the Suns and Spurs were to meet up, because the Spurs strategy has always been to let Amare score as much as he wants (sort of). I wonder if it might backfire on them this year, if Pop were to stay with the same strategy.

420 brah


Yessir!

[tlongII]

Go Blazers!

[Giuseppe]

Go Blazers!

What's up, sassasfras, are you going to win this tonite, or, am I going to be disappointed round about 10'ish? Give it to be me honestly, t.

What say, old horse?

[pauls931]

Why did Dallas let him go?

[DPG21920]

Are you kidding me with that layup, Camby?

[ffadicted]

"GODDAMIT SHIT!"

hahaha

[Red Hawk #21]

Suns looking good so far...

[LnGrrrR]

Nash has NINE assists already? And the first qtr isn't over? GTFO.

[lil_penny]

J rich looking like jordan out there tonight.. waiting for cliff robinson to come on the court for us lol

[MavDynasty]

lol jrich going GSW

[pauls931]

Wish they had this in game 1, I'm just thinking of what they'll do in Portland. Portland even in this game shows athleticism and the ability to score from all over if your name is not Camby.

[badfish22]

Nashty

[Red Hawk #21]

Sick block by camby

[lil_penny]

Good job on d tonight with camby so far. But damn you gotta make those lay ups lol

[MavDynasty]

Great fucking MVP mix :cry

I was never a fan of Rudy Fernandez, but he's way better than this. Must get his confidence back. Potential steal for someone in the off-season.

Rudy has looked like shit these last two games he needs to get his confidence back, we got away one game with him playing like shit, its not looking good this game so far... he's got big shoes to fill but he needs to step the fuck up.

[mogrovejo]

Rudy is unhappy in Portland, trade him.

LOL at both teams running the exact same play at each other. PG brings the ball on the left side, wing runs through a baseline screen, gets another at the left mid post by LMA/Stoudemire, flashes through the lane, if doesn't get separation the post player pops out a bit, isolates and receives, one wing screens for the other who flashes under the basket, gets pass, scores. Neat execution.

I like Amundson. Would be nice to have him in Boston for the next few years. Nice energy from the bench. How much are the Suns fans willing to pay him next season?

[sribb43]

I have to watch this game on mute...suns announcers fuckin blow

[pauls931]

reality catching up to the blazers. but they still have homecourt.

[lil_penny]

Lol portland
Lol me

[mogrovejo]

Blazers have too little depth to win the series. They need guys like Bayless to step up as second/third options every game, but those guys can't keep that kind of consistency. But it's not going to be as easy to Phoenix as assumed. They need to play sharp every game.

[pauls931]

Interesting side note....

Grant Hill = Tracy McGrady?

[Darthkiller]

wow u shitting me? batum hurt

[lil_penny]

Well roy has been saying he may be back for this series.. if he feels healthy enough I say do it.

He's a fan favorite and the team is gonna try to keep him. His next step is better defensive fundamentals which he'd get in Boston.

Good win Phoenix. Between that and the delicious munchy meal I had tonight it couldn't have gone much better.

[lil_penny]

Good win phoenix!

[pauls931]

Frustrating game since I doubt portland said "We got the first one so lets lose the next one and go home." I almost want to go back and see the first one now to see WTF was went wrong for myself.

[tlongII]

Good game for Phoenix. They kicked our ass. See you Thursday.

Can you put a price on him? What kind of contract would you be willing to give him?

[bdictjames]

Heard Batum was out with a shoulder injury.. can I hear someone say Frail Blazers?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Me personally, around 2 million.

Most Suns fans love him more than I do and would probably put 3-4 million on him, as will some stupid general manager.

He's young enough, so I'd do a 4-year, 10 million deal with a PO in the final year in case he's much improved and deserving of more. He impacts a game, but doesn't tally many statistics, so his leverage isn't as concrete as others.
