Pick the choker from the game...

[BillsCarnage]

A. Suns for blowing a 9pt lead w/ 5+min left

B. Timmeh for missing 2 FT's that would have sealed the game..

C. Raja for missing ONE FT that would have likely won the game.

D. The Suns D while guarding Orberto.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf gives a shit, we won thats what matters

[Cant_Be_Faded]

raja bell can't play when he looses his cool, hence the silly foul in OT
i'd say that was pretty costly.

D. The Suns D while guarding Orberto.

I'd say A. Suns probably had no idea that Oberto would go 11/11. Though, after he went about 8-8 in the first half, you'd think D'Antoni would tell them to guard him.

Suns just collapsed under pressure in the final 5 minutes. They had the game...up by 9 and with all the momentum swinging their way. If they want to be considered a championship-caliber team, they need to learn how to keep leads and play some defense in the crunch time.

[Borosai]

Raja...he missed the game winning FT and he got some good ole heartburn to go with it.

But TDs missed freethrows blew chunks out of my ass.

[sabar]

C, that would have done it

[ShoogarBear]

Can't give it to Raja when he hit that amazing three that got them to OT.

Hard to give it to Tim when the Spurs ended up winning the game . . . but DAMN!

Have to go with D. Some of those were garbage points, but more than a few were just complete defensive brain farts. Next time the Spurs play the Suns, I want to play center.

[MrChug]

Not D. Oberto's a seasoned, highly skilled player. He knows how to move without the ball and the Spurs ballhandlers were good enough to find him and at the right time.

Neither B nor C would have happened if A didn't happen first, so A's my choice.

But this has been the problem thus far for the Suns. They've collapsed or lost composure in all of the games they've lost. Even the one win against the Clips never felt put away until the last minute of the game. It's like they're an all rookie team that doesn't know how to win suddenly.

[theroc5]

all things had an effect on the game but the diffrence was the spurs choked less and did a better job overall in OT and the 4th Qt

[ShoogarBear]

Not D. Oberto's a seasoned, highly skilled player. He knows how to move without the ball and the Spurs ballhandlers were good enough to find him and at the right time. Yah. So we can expect these with regularity then.

If the Suns has made even a token effort to defend Oberto, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

[Texas_Ranger]

C

[dirk4mvp]

C)

Woulda won the game for the Suns barring any miracle shot from the Spurs.

:danceclub Time to fire D' Antoni and hire Larry Brown :danceclub

[regio]

It has to be C) just because I hate Raja so much

you look a little chapped in the avatar.

B in my heart, but C for my Fantasy Team points.

[duncanchick21]

i'm gonna go with c one this one

[Kori Ellis]

Bonehead play of the game: Raja for flopping and injuring himself.

[T Park]

What is his injury, anyone know?

[Kori Ellis]

What is his injury, anyone know?

He acted like he broke his ribs, but I don't know for sure.

[veronicamae]

Well, truly it's B, but since B didn't cost us the game, I'll go with C.

[RC's Boss]

Did Johnathan aka chow start this thread?

:lol :lol

[Fabbs]

101-97 after Tims 3 pt play.
Phx inbounds with 10 seconds.
We have a foul to give.
7 seconds left. Bell pump fakes then brings ball all the way back down in set position. GNob is right on him.
Anyone wonder why GNob did not wrap him up with the foul to give?
Window of op when he brought the ball down, I'm not talking about fouling him in the act of shooting. Wonder if GNob was gun shy after the Dallas fiasco?
Would make Phx have to inbounds the ball again, chew a few more seconds off the clock.

Biggest choker of game was the greatest offensive coach of all time having Duncan on the floor for the inbounds.

B

Bonehead play of the game: Raja for flopping and injuring himself.

Dunno about that. On the replay Manu put his shoulder down and drove into Raja. If it had been a flop and the ribs were injured by Duncan then wouldn't he have been grabbing the back side, not the front?

BTW, postgame x-rays were negative on a break, but he might have bruised them.

[boutons_]

Raja's a rough, physical player. He got last night as good as he gives. Justice.

[Martin R]

C. Raja for missing ONE FT that would have likely won the game.



I choose this one because it was the FIRST free throw Raja missed this season ! :nope

[SAGambler]

Let's put another choice in there.

E. Amare for committing 6 fouls in 15 minutes of play.

If he keeps himself in the game, Suns probably win.

[LilMissSPURfect]

E. All Of The Above

All of the above.
