Interestingly, Bell who is being signed by the Suns in order to shore up their defense rates as a bad defender. What is remarkable about Bell's results is that he has played for several teams over the past three seasons and yet his defensive ratings have been consistently bad. That strongly suggests that putting him in a new context with the Suns is not going to markedly improve his defense.

08-03-2005, 04:54 PM
Like has already been noted...the best game Manu had against the Jazz last season was the one Bell started against him. He may not like Bell but it's not like has bad games against him.

And Manu needs to fire his agent for giving Bell that information. He needs to let others know that agent tells clients of private conversations with other clients. I am sure there is a potential lawsuit in there as well against that agent.

How do you know you have a dumbass agent? When he favors a low paid client over a high paid one in breaking confidentiality. IF all this is true that guy clearly is working in Bell's interest at the direct expense of Manu...Manu needs to give him the full time opportunity to represent Bell.

Same here. I can't wait to watch the Spurs own the Suns, just like they did this past season.

I'm right in the heart of Suns Country, so I've got firsthand knowledge that Phoenix's fans are delusional. They've got no center. They're losing a guy who posted 17 ppg, 5 rpg, and shot 48% from 3-point land. Kurt Thomas doesn't have the speed to facilitate the run-and-gun style that made them successful last year. Nevertheless, they're drinking Sarver's Kool-Aid and believe they'll contend for a championship. Get real. The only thing the Suns are contending for is a 4-seed in the Playoffs.

Sorry Billscarnage, and any other Suns fans, but that one-trick pony has been taken out to pasture.

Seriously, without Johnson they not be as effective as last year. Amare will have an MVP type season but Nash is a year older and Bell, who is a good defender, is not the scorer JJ is. I see more halfcourt sets and less running...which is not to their advantage.

The NW division is a crap shoot, but Denver will likely come out of there. Seattle if they can pull thier heads out of their ass. I really don't see the Suns worse than #2. Losing JoJo will alter their style, but not that much. Jjax, Bell or Fins (if he comes) will still be able to shoot the three just fine. And it the Suns only need three to run the break in their style.

There's a long way to go until camp, but I will still go against popular opinion and say the Suns will be better next season. Probably not record wise, but they'll be a better team. They caught lightning in a bottle this past year.

Well, Houston won't win the division so that's a moot point. They'll be a very good, but they still have no bench whatsoever, and Stromile Swift is certainly not in the same league as Tim Duncan.

The Suns are still the best team in the Pacific, I'll admit that. But the division won't be the cakewalk it was this past season. The Lakers will be much better. The Clippers will be better. The Warriors - who beat the Suns twice - are going to turn heads.

I can admit when I'm wrong. Phoenix won't be a four-seed because they'll win the division, but they'll be the fourth best team in the conference. San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas should be better, and Denver and Memphis could give Phoenix a run for its money.

When it comes to winning a championship, the only ones who can "keep dreamin'" are the Phoenix Suns ;)

The sad thing for the Suns is that Bell and Kurt Thomas won't be enough to take them past the Spurs or any team that plays defence. Why? Because of their own style, too much fastbreak, too little defence, and D'Antoni, Nash and Stoudamire don't look like they are going to change it.

Keep telling yerself that. Amare has stated that his main goal this offseason is to work on his defense. They may or may not put a fill scheme D in, but Bell and KT are defensive minded players. Meaning when some one tries to score they'll try to stop them.

Ginobili, who has the same agent as Bell, Herb Rudoy, complained to Rudoy when he learned that his defensive nemesis was going to a team that San Antonio met in the Western Conference finals.

"It was funny," Bell said. "You know, Manu's a competitor, and I do a good job, I'd like to say, on him, but he's a tough guard for me. So it's just a respect level. It's cool to hear somebody thinks you're that way, especially being the All-Star that he is, so it was flattering."

Memphis is in complete disarray? They've added Eddie Jones, who contributes mid-teens scoring, a healthy 5 or 6 rebounds per game, and veteran leadership. They shipped out malcontent Bonzi Wells and added Bobby Jackson, a real spark plug. They lost Jason Williams and his 5:2 assists to turnovers ratio. Stromile Swift's departure is a negative, but aside from that, they're looking pretty solid. Perhaps not on the Suns level, but still capable of giving them a run for their money.

As far as "Dallas..yeah right," this year's Mavs team gave the Johnson-less Suns all they wanted in the Conference semis, tying that series up 2-2. It also took 2 overtimes and a career performance from Nash to avoid going behind 3-2, so I wouldn't be so quick to brush them off.

That's right, Johnson LESS. Yet the Suns still won.

MAYBE if Diaper has a break out season. And MAYBE if Dirk stops yelling at teammates. And MAYBE if Dirk doesn't mind being the last head of the "3-headed" monster. And MAYBE if Terry has an all-star season. And MAYBE if they want to play defense.

Right, my point was Dallas gave the Suns a good series without Johnson, whom they won't have this season. Dismissing a team that went 2-3 against Phoenix under those circumstances as a "yeah right" doesn't quite fit.

Maybe if they play defense...ironic coming from a Suns fan. Stoudemire might be working on his defense, and I believe he is, as he's one of the best players in the league. But he should really try to talk the MVP into joining him. Nash got lit up to the tune of 20 ppg by Tony Parker in the Conference Finals. Jason Terry averaged 17 a game against Nash, five more than his season average.

I agree with that last point. Dallas likely will finish third in the division, but that should be enough to make them fourth best team in the conference.

Why are Phoenix fans cocky? They have no reason to be. They think Bell on Manu is a good thing, they are delusional.

So Manu is unhappy that a defender that consistently roughs him up and commits flagrant fouls and such is going to one of the Spurs so called "rivals". Tim Duncan was probably feeling the same when Karl Malone joined the Lakers. So what? I'm sure Manu isn't worried about Raja defending him successfully, because we have all seen the stats Manu puts up againt Raja. I'm sure Manu isn't worried about having to defend Bell either, because we all know offensively he is average. So there is no problem regarding Manu being worried about facing him, Manu would have a much tougher time being efficient and playing his own game against other Phoenix swingmen, because Bell sure as hell does nothing to stop him.

Phoenix fans think that having Raja supposedly "annoy" and "rough up" Manu is going to somehow work to there advantage? Um, check out what happened in the playoffs when Denver and Seattle were consistently dropping Manu on the ground. Yeah, didn't really work out to well for them, and if Phoenix think they can do that with there team of softies and one rough player, they are kidding themselves.

Phoenix fans think Raja Bell is going to turn them into a Top 7-8 defensive team. Idiots.

rider/writer. Sorry, didn't mean to offend the spelling police. I was laughing too hard your spankfest over a quote taken out of context.


Spelling police? :lmao It's completely the wrong use of the word. You should have learned that in 1st grade.


I know the original quote came from our paper, but like I said - some Phoenix hack took it out of context.


It was confirmed by one of the three involved, the radio station and ESPN. So far NO ONE from Manu's side has denied it. If they ever do, please post a link.

The whoopin was for all of the homers here who said it was a joke. Now it's been verified by three SEPERAT parties.

Trust me I'll be remembering this thread.

If Bell puts up the same numbers as Manu we'll call it a landslide victory and monumental upset for the Suns.

So, for shits and giggles, if Bell "holds" Manu to his career avg of 12pts and scores 12, it's a landslide for Bell?

Right on.

A landslide and a first.

I still rmember fondly when Bell played for the Mavs and was getting bitch slapped by the Spurs in the playoffs, him bringing the ball up court, Parker pressuring him and Bell swinging a vicious elbow missing Parkers's nose by about a millimeter. Crawford nailed him for a flagrant and he commenced to whine. Bell has a long history of cheap shoting Spurs.

Not to add more fuel to the fire, BUT the agent was at the Bell press conf. BC mentions it WITH the agent there. Think he'd lie about something like that WITH the agent standing in the room?? I doubt it.

So to recap, BOTH Bell and Rudoy, the agent, confirmed Manu called to whine.

I don't get it. How is it that you can expect Bell to have a better defensive performance in the Suns, when even Utah was better defensively than the Suns (with Bell) and they still couldn't stop Manu?? I'm intrigued.

Kid, Manu was 21 pts, 4 rebs, 4 asts, in 29 minutes against Bell in the regular season.

He had a 31 pts, 8 rebs, 7 asts, in 35 iminute game when Bell started against Manu.

Hold on to your "he called and complain" story. Print it, blow it up, andnail it to your ceiling so it gives you something to beat off to. Don't you think the Ben Affleck poster is a little... you know.

Raja Bell is a punk who couldn't make it on the Spurs roster. He never stoped Manu before and he still wont. Why would any of you all attach substance to anything an agent says, haven't you all been watching and hearing the circus that T.O's agent Drew Rosenhaus is???

If the report is true maybe it was a joke. But I doubt that Manu, a guy who keeps attaking the rim against the Shaqs and the Ben Wallaces of the league, and the thugs like Jerome James and Denver's big men of the league...is afraid of anybody. You mean to tell me after all Manu went through, all the bumps and bruises that he obtained during the 2005 playoffs Manu is afraid of little ol' Raja Bell. C'mon :rolleyes

Also, do you guys really think Phoenix is doing a good job gearing up to take down the Spurs, by trying to stop Tim with Kurt Thomas, and Manu with Bell???

That said, if Manu did indeed ring his agent and complain about the signing in a serious way, that is odd. Doesn't seem like a Manu thing to do.

Still, it doesn't take anything away from my previous post about how Manu owns Bell.

Bell plays for the Virgin Islands, I believe they played only once against each other at National Team level. And Argentina routed in the game, Manu played like 15 minutes because that was enough to win. Now Bell will get another taste of that in the Suns.

Why would Rudoy say anything? He's not going to bust in and say "No, Manu didn't say that" in the middle of a press conference with another client. It sounds like whatever Manu said, if anything, has gotten blown out of proportion and Bell is riding the wave. Enjoy it while it lasts. See you on the court.

Facts? :lol You're an idiot, the only person making a fool of himself is you. Where, exactly, are your "facts?" Everything you've stated is opinion, same as me jackass. The closest thing to "facts" you've posted is this stupid story that was either taken out of context or an obvious joke. Why would Manu fear a bench hack like Raja Bell? I'm sure a basketball virtuoso like yourself knows Ginobili hung 31 on Bell back in March. I'm also sure you know this fact: 6-2 That's the Spurs' record against your beloved Suns. Fact that, fool.

Go register at phxsuns.net and post with the other paint sniffers who've deluded themselves into thinking the Suns aren't anything more than a one-year wonder.

Right out of Manu's spanish forum:

Y... la verdad es la siguiente:

Tenemos el mismo agente y hablando con mi agente le comente que era un defensor duro y demas (el lo sabe bien tambien). Lo demas fue mas anecdotico y gracioso que un hecho real. Nunca lo llame para decirle eso.

Espero haber aclarado la cosa.

Manu says that he called his agent and he told him that Bell it's a tough defender. But the rest it's just anecdotic and funny, he never called him especially to tell him about Bell, it was just a comment.

Thanks. It's nice to finally hear it out of Manu's own mouth and not some reporter or Bell who had no part in the conversation :rolleyes . I knew Manu was probably joking around while maybe talking about him.
