Spurs vs Suns Game Blog

[Kori Ellis]

:blah

[bonesinaz]

Hi Kori-
Hubby just told me that he heard the suns have the flu. He said Marion is questionable according to suns report--didn't hear who else.

[travis2]

Since I'm an hour closer to the action tonight, I can actually watch the game without turning into a zombie. I hope.

:lol

[milkyway21]

Suns injuries: Steve Nash (right ankle sprain) and James Jones (sore right foot) are day to day. Amare Stoudemire (left knee surgery), Brian Grant (right knee surgery), Kurt Thomas (right foot stress fracture), Nikoloz Tskitishvili (right ankle sprain) and Dijon Thompson (sore right knee) are out.


Suns projected inactive list: Stoudemire, Thomas and Thompson.

Key matchup: Tim Duncan vs. Boris Diaw. At 6-foot-8, 215 pounds, Diaw hardly looks like at a center. But after two forgotten seasons in Atlanta, he's one of the NBA's most versatile players. Diaw had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in Sunday's victory over Dallas while playing good defense on Dirk Nowitzki. He's guarded Duncan for stretches in both of the teams' previous meetings, sometimes using his athleticism to front him. Duncan averaged 21.5 points and 13.5 rebounds in the two games

---------------------------

so, there's a chance Nash might play tonight. Good.

i hope Duncan will have a good game. And the Spurs finish the game scratch-free.

San Antonio @ Phoenix 10:30 pm

0-6 The Suns are 0-6 in games decided by three points or less.

.472 and .426 The Spurs are currently pulling off an impressive combination of having the third best shooting percentage in the NBA (.472), while holding their opponents to the lowest field goal percentage from the field in the league (.426). The last time that a team finished the season first in both categories was in the 1980-81 campaign (76ers).

1 Suns forward Shawn Marion is the only NBA player ranked in the top 20 in points, rebounds, steals, blocks, field goal percentage and minutes. He's averaging career-high 22.0 points (16th in the NBA), career-high 12.3 rebounds (2nd), 1.8 assists, 1.95 steals (T-4th), career-high 1.86 blocks, 46 double-doubles (1st), career-high .518 FG in 41.3 minutes (5th) in 2005-06…

1-1 The Spurs and Suns have split the season series in 2005-06, with the home team winning both times.

3 Suns forward Boris Diaw could become one of three NBA players averaging at least six rebounds and six assists. His 12.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists (T-17th), .515 FG in 34.4 minutes per game are all career highs. Diaw, who has two-triple doubles in 2005-06, became only fourth NBA player (Jason Kidd, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade) to accomplish that feat multiple times this season with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists at Dallas on March 5.

7 Seven Suns are averaging career highs in points per game this season, including Phoenix point guard Steve Nash, whose 3.9 point per game scoring increase represents the second highest ever following an MVP campaign. Larry Bird posted the greatest increase (4.5 ppg, 1985-86).

7 Seven Suns are listed with injuries: Nash (right ankle sprain) is day-to-day; James Jones (right second sore metatarsal phalangeal joint); Amaré Stoudemire (left knee surgery) is out; Brian Grant (right knee surgery) is out; Nikoloz Tskitishvili (right ankle sprain) is out; Kurt Thomas (right foot stress fracture) is out; Dijon Thompson (right knee loose bodies) is out

12.3 Recently acquired Suns forward Tim Thomas is averaging 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.67 blocks in 26.0 minutes in 3 games with Phoenix.

16-4 The Spurs are a league best 16-4 (.800 winning percentage) in games decided by 6 points or less. Nice!

22 Phoenix has reached the century mark in scoring in 22 consecutive games, the most in the NBA since the 1994-95 San Antonio Spurs (22). Should the Suns reach the century mark tonight, it would be the NBA’s longest 100-point streak since the 1992-93 Suns did it 43 games in a row.

25 and 11 The Suns are a season-best 25 games above .500 and are on a pace to finish with 58 wins. Phoenix’s current 11-game win streak matches club’s longest since rattling off 11 victories in a row from Dec. 5-26, 2004 and is the longest active winning streak in the NBA.

61 If the Spurs win tonight against the Suns they will set the record for the best record through 61 games in team history, which was set by last year's club, who went 47-14 through 61 games.

98-85 The Spurs were on a seven-game winning streak before falling to the Clippers, 98-85, in their last contest on March 7.

1990-91 Nash could become the first NBA player since Magic Johnson (1990-91) to average at least 19 points and 11 assists per game this season. Nash is currently averaging 19.4 points and 10.8 assists per game.

2005 The two clubs met in the 2005 West Finals, which the Spurs easily captured, 4-1.

[milkyway21]

61 If the Spurs win tonight against the Suns they will set the record for the best record through 61 games in team history, which was set by last year's club, who went 47-14 through 61 games.

:wow

[E20]

:wow
I would go :wow, but knowing that the Spurs could have done twice as better makes it unnoticeable.

[AZLouis]

Nash will not be available tonight. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AiDn1omQM4zYVjpeDuaTwdC8vLYF?slug=ap-suns-nashout&prov=ap&type=lgns

Barbosa will sit as well.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Suns injuries: Steve Nash (right ankle sprain) and James Jones (sore right foot) are day to day. Amare Stoudemire (left knee surgery), Brian Grant (right knee surgery), Kurt Thomas (right foot stress fracture), Nikoloz Tskitishvili (right ankle sprain) and Dijon Thompson (sore right knee) are out.



:wow what kinda voodoo is going on the right side of the suns? thats just nutty.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Nash Out, Barbosa Out...Says my Suns Source in Pho...

I posted this in another thread ....


Nash, Barbosa out vs. Spurs

Paul Coro

Mar. 9, 2006 08:07 PM

Steve Nash will miss his first game of the season tonight against San Antonio because of the ankle he sprained in Monday's game but the Suns got even worse news when Leandro Barbosa went to the emergency room at a local hospital this evening with a right groin injury.

James Jones, who missed last game with a toe joint injury, will start the game in place of Nash. That likely leaves skillful center Boris Diaw and shooting guard Raja Bell to run the offense until Eddie House enters the game. Andre Barrett, at the end of a 10-day contract, may also see some time tonight.

Nash had not tested the sore right ankle until this evening but it was not ready to go.

"It's precautionary," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He's just not 100 percent. We're not going to parade him out there."

The Suns have four games in five days starting Sunday.

[milkyway21]

how about those 2 who have flu? is it true.

or they're just chicken?

[1Parker1]

Man, it'd be kinda sad if the Suns still manage to beat the Spurs tonight....

[dimsah]

Let's see. It's 10:44 eastern time, and tip-off hasn't happened. Yep, I'm going to be a zombie at work tomorrow.

[Spurologist]

Dammit no OT in PHI-DEN game please

[Spurologist]

lol if the Spurs lose this game they suck ass.

if they can hit shots with players in their face all night like that last J Jones shot, they deserve the win.

[1Parker1]

I thought the Suns were crazy trading away half their starting 5 from last year, especially after all the success they've had. But, they actually have a really good team...and next season if Amare is healthy....Amare+Nash+Matrix+Diaw could be deadly.

[nkdlunch]

I was a little worried there for a second.

that's why I thought too. Damn Phoenix fans suck

[Tek_XX]

stupid suns fans cheering because tim got banged in the knee

Probably more for the foul

[Vingianx]

if they can hit them against the boa constrictor defense of the Spurs, you know they can't make all threes....good luck to the suns

[Vingianx]

[Spurologist]

suns packing it in and getting burned as a result

[1Parker1]

Damn, Manu making 3 pt shots and Tony making Jump Shots like nothing. Of course Suns are managing to answer at the other end, but still...fast paced game. 22-15 Spurs.

[Vingianx]

Duncan will punish them

[Vinnie_Johnson]

This is a high score for 5 min left in the first.

[boutons_]

Suns are opening up the interior, pulling our bigs out, and clearing the paint.
Our bigs will have trouble guarding their "bigs" playing so far out.

[WalterBenitez]

Chickens are coming SA 28 PHX 23

[Vinnie_Johnson]

How long has Boris Diaw been in the league? Is it just the Suns offense that has made him break out...or was he always good, but never got playing time with the Hawks?

End of first SAS 38 PHO 29

[Pinto Bean]

38 points in one quarter O.O

[boutons_]

what was that Kerr Komment about Spurs putting Nick on ice to see if he can be ready for the playoffs? Giving Beno his big chance? first I've heard that. This board is slipping badly. :)

[Tek_XX]

I don't think I've ever seen two teams shoot this well.

Suns probably do this more than the spurs.

[1Parker1]

I don't think I've ever seen two teams shoot this well.

Seriously, and to think Duncan only had 4 points on 2-3 shooting!

[Manu20]

Spurs shot .714 (15-21) in the first quarter! :wow

38 points in the 1st quarter, I believe that is a season high. :smokin

[Vinnie_Johnson]

How long has Boris Diaw been in the league? Is it just the Suns offense that has made him break out...or was he always good, but never got playing time with the Hawks?

Third year the last two year his ave was 4 points this year it's 12.9 :smokin

[Xylus]

Looks like this is going to be the Parker-Diaw show. I wouldn't be surprised if they scored 40 each at this rate.

[Spurologist]

that godfather game looks tight

I love the VW commericial

“What does this do?”

“It sucks in air.”

“It’s definitely sucking.” :lol

“German engineering in da haus, ja.”

[dimsah]

I can't wait till Burke comes in and lights it up like the rest of this generic lineup.

[Vingianx]

right now the suns are dictating the tempo, spurs need to slow it down and kill them, because everyone knows phx is not a good halfcourt team

[mikejones99]

Rasho not gonna see much action tonight?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Nice no call there.

[travis2]

WTF was that rugby scrum on the Spurs end of the court?

[Vingianx]

phx fans love MANU

[nkdlunch]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!

Bell picks manu up and throws him on the floor and no call!!!!!

fucking ref!

[Tek_XX]

Fucking spurs can't rebound worth shit.

[dimsah]

Bull shit call on Duncan!

[Vingianx]

It's Ok, I T's Ok .....spurs Are Not Openers....they Are Closers

[dimsah]

How come the Suns can double team TD when he doesn't have the ball?

[Vingianx]

Because They Are Scared

[Vingianx]

lol

[Spurologist]

Barry + Beno = Bench

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Damn I can't think of two teams shooting better to start a game,

[nkdlunch]

nah Barry is doing good. good D

beno is fucking up. Manu had to actually go and speak into his ear on what to do

[TDfan2007]

[dimsah]

Because They Are ScaredWhat constitutes defensive 3 seconds?
Does the defensive player have to be in the lane as well?

[Xylus]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!

Bell picks manu up and throws him on the floor and no call!!!!!

fucking ref!
Manu is a flopper. Bell is a dirty defender. It's going to be a battle all night, as Manu continues to get phantom calls, and as Bell does his best to get inside Manu's head.

Think Suns versus kings/dallas/memphis

[travis2]

As long as the defender is within arms length of the man he's guarding, he's legal.

Defense be damned. Pop will pop a few blood vessels at halftime.

They finally missed a shot.

Stuart Scott from Sportscenter mentioned the knicks were a slump buster. He might want to add the suns to that list. This is a season coming out party for beno/barry.

About what exactly? Did I call for a Suns victory or something? Listen, you're going to have to get used to hearing harsh words about Manu from me. I love TD and Parker, but Manu ranks as one of my least favorite players in the league.

[dimsah]

Tony Is In The Bench To Close Out The Entire Second Half
He went what? 5/6
Nothing like 20 minutes on the bench to keep you warm.

Great now we're going cold and we still aren't playing D.

Why would anybody dislike the classy Manu - he is a winner, an unconvential star who will eat an opposite teams heart out.

[Xylus]

Alright, alright, I get the point. I was addressed directly, so I responded...:rolleyes I'll keep the rest of my comments on the game.

The defense isn't very great tonight, from either team, but it looks like the Spurs are not going to play down to their opponent tonight.

[Vingianx]

Can someone please tell me why they're doubling Tim so much? I mean there's smart doubling and then there's being retarded.

[boutons_]

Holy shit, what a shooting match!!

Spurs beating the Suns at their own run-n-gun game, AGAIN!

Spurs defense has settled down and is seriously bothering the Suns.

[Xylus]

Suns playing swiss cheese defense tonight. I think they're paying just a little too much attention to Duncan, and it's costing them dearly.

[Supergirl]

Spurs have a 15 point lead with 2 minutes left till halftime, and TD only has 6 points so far.

[Spurologist]

Looks like the effect of Chip Engellend is being displayed early.

[dimsah]

Spurs 18 assists on 25 made fg's.

[Tek_XX]

Is Nash the key to their D, i don't get it?

[nkdlunch]

Spurs beating the Suns at their own run-n-gun game, AGAIN!




AGAIN AND AGAIN

[Vingianx]

Spurs defense has settled down and is seriously bothering the Suns.
THAT'S RIGHT, THAT BOA IS STARTING TO TIGHTEN UP

[Hook Dem]

Giving them some of their own fast break medicine! :lol :lol :lol

[wildbill2u]

we're not getting any layups in the paint. We aren't gonna keep making 20' jumpshots from Parker and Bowen.

[exstatic]

Bruce Lee kneed the ball out of bounds :lol
He thought it was Wally Szcerbiak's head...

[DDS4]

I've never seen Parker with so many jump shots tonight. Maybe he'll launch some 3's for a heat check.

[Supergirl]

BTW, the prediction of 70 by half time isn't looking so crazy now. Spurs up 60-45.

[exstatic]

we're not getting any layups in the paint. We aren't gonna keep making 20' jumpshots from Parker and Bowen.

Bowen lives off of jumpers, and Parker will hit until they come out and play him...and then he'll drive.

[Spurologist]

Rasho is having a shitty game.

yeah. some minutes would be nice

[DDS4]

I like Diaw. If he gets a consistant jump shot. Watch out.

[dimsah]

Pat Burke? The new Bill Russel. FUCK

[midgetonadonkey]

Matt Burke looks like a cancer patient.

[DDS4]

Burke looks like Ferry on 'roids.

[Vingianx]

That's Right, The Spurs Need To Slow It Down

[Vingianx]

It's A Wild Wild West Shootout..........almost(spurs Shooting Better)

[Supergirl]

Who the hell is Burke? He looks like Boo Radley.

[Manu20]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

Tony just said the Suns don't respect him.

[wildbill2u]

Bowen lives off of jumpers, and Parker will hit until they come out and play him...and then he'll drive.

I hear what you say about Bowen--although he's about made his quota for the game already but...I can't share your confidence that "Parker will hit until they come out and play him"

Last year they left him out there and he couldn't hit. I know he's shooting better this year with the new coach and all, but reliable? I don't believe in his jumper quite yet.

Of course if he ever masters it, they will have to put in some new rule to limit him because he'll have it all.

[Spurologist]

In 2-3 yrs, tp will be an all world pg.

[Vingianx]

That's Right, I Got Barkley's Back Saying The Suns Can't Beat The Spurs

[boutons_]

If I were the Suns at halftime, I'd be really depressed. Shooting 57% and DOWN -14??

As Steve K said, forget about the Suns defensive improvement, it ain't there tonight.

Spurs playing on both ends.

[midgetonadonkey]

That's Right, I Got Barkley's Back Saying The Suns Can't Beat The Spurs

He's right.

[bendmz]

damn Reggie has some hugh ears !!!!!!

[dimsah]

Marion played the entire first half.
Spurs at 60% shooting, but Suns at 57.5%
Need to clamp down in second half to conserve some energy.

[Slomo]

Barkley: Dallas improved its defense this year - well it couldn't get any worse than it was... :lmao

[foodie2]

Damn Reggie is a stupid-ass motherfucker.

[Vingianx]

damn Reggie has some hugh ears !!!!!!
LOL

[ObiwanGinobili]

He's right.

yes yes he is.

Sir Charles has certainly come a long way.

[nkdlunch]

Charles Barkley has officially lost it. He's talking about Radmanovic doing good in the Clippers and Clippers winning the west if Duncan is hurtin

[midgetonadonkey]

Ernie's face doesn't look that bad.

[Vingianx]

That's Right Fear The Silver And Black

[Spurologist]

damn Reggie has some hugh ears !!!!!!

Chuck "He ain't got a problem hearing"

[Manu20]

Spurs with 19 assists at the half! :wow

[Peter]

The only reason Reggie Miller is on this broadcast is because of his brother.

[Hook Dem]

Charles Barkley has officially lost it. He's talking about Radmanovic doing good in the Clippers and Clippers winning the west
Nope! He just called them the darkhorse.

[Vingianx]

The only reason Reggie Miller is on this broadcast is because of his brother.I THOUGHT IT WAS HIS SISTER CHERYL MILLER

[nkdlunch]

The only reason Reggie Miller is on this broadcast is because of his brother.


u mean Shemale Miller, I mean Sheryl Miller

[nkdlunch]

Nope! He just called them the darkhorse.

If Spurs don't come out of the West, trust me, Clippers won't in a million years

[Spurologist]

Charles Barkley has officially lost it. He's talking about Radmanovic doing good in the Clippers and Clippers winning the west if Duncan is hurtin

He has taken a liking to Eltan Brand. Coincidence? 'undersized low post player.'

Brand is the MVP this season

[Vingianx]

u mean Shemale Miller, I mean Sheryl Miller
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :LMAO

[picnroll]

Parker is showing us a glimpse of the future when he has a money mid range shot. Unstopable.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Screw Shaq no one cares about Fat Albert he is three years away from joining the clowns on TNT.

[TDfan2007]

Reggies just saying that there's a chance that San Antonio won't win the west. And he's right, it's not set in stone. But the rest of the west has to really improve to catch the Spurs.

[travis2]

Oh I'm gonna need a lot of alcohol to burn the image of that suit out of my memory...

[TDfan2007]

LOL @ the V.C. cell phone commercial.

[ObiwanGinobili]

this is really an important game, Dallas needs to prove that they can beat bad teams


:lmao :lmao

[nkdlunch]

are the Spurs seriously not gona shave tilll playoffs!!!

that's a loooong way, I would get fired if I tried to go that long

[ObiwanGinobili]

I'm sure Stern will put a stop to it :lol

[Vingianx]

THAT'S TOO LONG THEY'RE GONNA END UP LOOKING LIKE ZZ TOP

[midgetonadonkey]

They should all just let their mustaches grow and shave the beards. A team full of guys with Burt Reynold's 'staches could not be beat. It's impossible.

[spursparker9]

timmy and diaw both have chance to get Triple-Double

[Vingianx]

LOL THAT REMINDED ME OF THOSE SNL SKETCHES OF BURT REYNOLDS PLAYING JEOPARDY

BURT: "WELL THAT'S YOUR OPINION"

[nkdlunch]

hahahahah

[Peter]

While we're talking about SNL, I'm thinking about a 'The Young Bruce Bowen' video parody...parody.

[Vingianx]

Love That Heinekn Commercial

[nkdlunch]

Steve Nash got that look like he wants to go in the court and play. Love that. respect to Nash

[Vingianx]

Everytime The Spurs Play The Suns The Shake Off The Boring Labeled Many Put On Them..but I Don't Think They're Boring But Then Again They're My Favorite Team Lol

[Vingianx]

25 Attempts A Night On The 3 Point For The Suns, That's Ridiculous

[Vingianx]

Game's On

[Spurologist]

Mike D'antoni at halftime "We can't just let them hit shots"

ughgh if you leave your man everytime for wide open jumpers Mike, that's not exactly stopping people.

[midgetonadonkey]

Bowen used his hands and his feet
And he kicked and he punched with his hands and his feet

[exstatic]

I hear what you say about Bowen--although he's about made his quota for the game already but...I can't share your confidence that "Parker will hit until they come out and play him"

Last year they left him out there and he couldn't hit. I know he's shooting better this year with the new coach and all, but reliable? I don't believe in his jumper quite yet.

Of course if he ever masters it, they will have to put in some new rule to limit him because he'll have it all.
The problem with the way that the Suns are playing him is that they are SO far off that he can take one little dribble towards the basket before he shoots. I'll bet his jumper percentage is about 10 points higher when he does that.

[Rummpd]

I wish someone would mention that Parker has played Nash pretty even the last couple of years and may in fact be even better based on what we are seeing tonight - Suns simply do not seem to have a defensive scheme when Spurs are sharing the ball.

[Vingianx]

And One

[TDfan2007]

Here they go again, doubling and tripling Tim who only has 8 points and leaving Tony wide open. D'Antoni is an idiot. Coach of the year my ass.
