Suns @ Boston - 3.26.08

[Xylus]

It sure seems like the Suns lose everytime I make a gameday thread. Maybe I'm the reason the Suns have never won it all. Maybe I should become a Spurs fan. :devil: Anyhoo...

Will KG embarrass Amare on D?
Will Amare embarrass KG on D?
Will Amare and KG put aside their differences and make passionate gay love at centercourt?
Will Ray Allen try to join them?
Will D'Antoni's 'stache kill some unsuspecting fan?

All of these possibilities seem likely...

[sribb43]

How long into the game b4 D'Antono head explodes over a call he thinks doesnt go the suns way?

[leemajors]

well, at least it's on national TV, unlike that game on monday i wanted to see.

[stretch]

KG is a better all-around player, but Amare is going to score at least 30. KG's defense is the most overrated among PFs. Give me Rasheed or Duncan's defense ANY DAY.

Only in my dreams...(where's the "sigh" smiley?)

[CubanMustGo]

Go Su ... I mean go Cel ... oh, hell, I have no idea who I want to win. Prolly Boston, just bc the Suns have been so hot and it would help the Spurs in the standings.

But if there was a way for Phoenix to lose without Boston winning, I'd be all for it.

[Xylus]

Amare's gonna drop 40 tonight.

Book it!

[Xylus]

I wouldn't mind that..I hope he dunks on KG 15 times!!!
All Amare can do is dunk.

[Kriz-Maxima]

The real question his how many times will Amare flex and how many time will KG pound his chest with his fist?

[ludda]

Go celtics.

[RonMexico]

How many pounds of chalk will KG throw over the front row?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Everybody wins when the Celtics lose.

[mavsfan1000]

Celtics will win. They got the better defense and that will be the key.

[Warlord23]

So far Celts are having their way with Phoenix on the boards and on the mismatches

[Allanon]

How the heck do you foul somebody shooting on his knees Doris?

[JMarkJohns]

Not good.

[ratm1221]

:lol :lol :lol

What's wrong with this Headline on Yahoo Sports....

Kevin Garnett and the Celtics play host to the Suns Wednesday night in a possible preview of the NBA Finals.

:lol :lol :lol

[jrod1986]

At least the Suns are keeping it close. It sure is fun getting out-rebounded with Shaq on the floor, though. Whee!

[ducks]

1 2 3 4 Total

Phoenix 20 14 34 6:40

Boston 33 6 39 2nd


TV: ESPN, CNE

[JamStone]

A lot of people were saying:

"I think Shaq is really going to hurt Amare's numbers."

[ChuckD]

Ray Allen and all of the Suns on one court? It's like The Crying Game, but the surprise is No Penis this time.

[Xylus]

Amare is baaaaaalllliiiinnn'

[ducks]

nash 0 points suns will lose if he does not score atleast 15

[jrod1986]

Shaq 2-2 from the line there. He actually seems to have some arch on his FT stroke lately.

[ducks]

New Orleans 56, Cleveland 50 half

[jrod1986]

Yes, Steve, that was a blocking foul.

[ducks]

nash crying

[Kriz-Maxima]

Dude your feet were on the line, let it go.

[ducks]

nash has no class I thought he did but his coach is wearing on him

[DazedAndConfused]

This game has me so conflicted. I can't root for either team because I hate them both.

[ducks]

throw him OUT

[ducks]

Throw Him Out

[ducks]

This game has me so conflicted. I can't root for either team because I hate them both.
you root for boston if you like the lakers dumbass

[BonnerDynasty]

This game has me so conflicted. I can't root for either team because I hate them both.

I'd rather have Celtics win it all if it means s0ns never getting a ring. That's how I look at it.

[Phil Hellmuth]

ric bucher needs to go back to just writing. he is horrible on camera

[ducks]

do suns not rember amare tech cost them dearly in detroit

[ducks]

suns are stupid
JUST PLAY THE FUCKIGN GAME LEAVE THE REFS TO LET THEM REF

[ducks]

ric bucher needs to go back to just writing. he is horrible on camera
you think he is that ugly?

[ducks]

:23.0 BOS - K. Garnett hit the first free throw
:23.0 PHO - Personal foul on A. Stoudemire
:23.0 BOS - K. Garnett steals the ball from S. Nash

nash needs to control himself
he cost amare a foul because of that turnover

[JamStone]

Nice defense.

[ducks]

amare would have had only 1 foul going into the second half
NASH CONTROL YOUR TEMPER

[Xylus]

Ducks, do us all a favor and leave the thread. You're disgracing my beautiful thread!

[Kriz-Maxima]

Yes it was almost as if there was no one there.

[ducks]

boston giving up 37 points to suns is so wrong
and people thought their d was awesome

[ducks]

Ducks, do us all a favor and leave the thread. You're disgracing my beautiful thread!

will it be beatuful if boston wins? and I leave?

[Xylus]

boston giving up 37 points to suns is so wrong

Their D is awesome, the best in the league. The stats prove this.

Sometimes great offense can overcome great defense for small stretches of time.

[ducks]

Nice defense.
that is not how the pistons play d is it

[JamStone]

Boston has great defense. But, they don't have anyone that can guard Amare once KG gets into foul trouble. Amare is playing like crazy lately.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Its like he has some sort of mental diarreah and he wants us to witness it.

[ducks]

no they got lazy
doc will get on them suns could get lucky to score 40 in the second half

[Xylus]

Its like he has some sort of mental diarreah and he wants us to witness it.
:lmao

As for Amare, there's really no one in the league that can stop him, at least no individual defender. It takes a solid defensive plan aimed at stopping him, and a committed team defense. And even then, you'll likely give up a lot to Shaquille. Pick your poison.

That said, the Suns still gave up 85 offensive rebounds in the first half. Disgusting. Grab the fucking rock once in awhile, Amare.

yeah but then amare thinks he would have no energy to score on the other end

[Xylus]

Suns - 62.2%
Celtics - 46.7%
GAME TIED

I swear I've seen that trend a million times this season. Despite what everyone says about them, the Suns are a decent defensive team--especially as of late, they've been limiting their opponents to a very low shooting percentage. But even with Shaq, those same teams are getting a ridiculous amount of second-chance points. It's not as bad as it was pre-Shaq, but it still needs some work.

trade amare and it would improve :devil

[ducks]

suns need to sign dennis rodman their rebounding would improve

[JamStone]

oopsie, Stevie

[Kriz-Maxima]

Rondo making Nash his bitch. Bend over and take it.

[jrod1986]

:(

[td4mvp21]

Why is Phoenix playing a zone?

[jrod1986]

Turnovers......whee.

[Xylus]

That was a great quarter. Suns had more TO's than shot attempts.

[jrod1986]

Moar turnovers!!

[Xylus]

What's with all these fucking turnovers? Just take care of the fucking ball.

[ludda]

Suns should try playing better defense, Celtics getting whatever the fuck they want. Even Big Baby is killing it.

[ducks]

suns need amare gone

[ludda]

heh..blowout? Suns look like they're just waiting for Celtics to miss shots instead of hustling on defense. Celtics are a great defensive team.

[ducks]

suns are fucking lazy

[ducks]

amare only cares about scoring not rebounding

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Celtics kicking the snot out of Phoenix in the 4th. Good news. Assuming the Spurs win, this will put the Suns 2 games behind the Spurs in the loss column.

[iamgodhere]

yeah you guys didn't look good against the spurs eaither fing homers

[ducks]

suns will blame this on the refs to

[The Nba Is Rigged]

I think the Boston Celtics will win the Championship this year, there defense is just too good. I wish my team had defense like that...

[iamgodhere]

yeah and like the spurs never complain about the refs give me a break loser spur fands

[Warlord23]

Meanwhile 20 assists, 1 turnover for CP3 and the Hornets pull it out. Amazing execution by CP3 and co

[RonMexico]

Celtics locked down... Suns turned the ball over too much.

Story of this game. And Xylus - stop making threads... it's bad luck.

[ludda]

Damn Hornets pulled that out.

[ducks]

Meanwhile 20 assists, 1 turnover for CP3 and the Hornets pull it out. Amazing execution by CP3 and co
you forgot his great shooting 5-17 :devil

[ducks]

Lebron shot the ball too early..you don't give any team 7 seconds left to set up a play.
HE IS SO FUCKING STUPID AND OVERRATED

[Warlord23]

you forgot his great shooting 5-17 :devil

Whatever, ducks. CP3 > Parker and it aint close

[ducks]

I think the Boston Celtics will win the Championship this year, there defense is just too good. I wish my team had defense like that...
giving up 37 points in a quarter is not great d

[ducks]

I bet cpaul assist would go down in sa unless they change their o
and yes paul is better then tp but not by much

[himat]

I bet cpaul assist would go down in sa unless they change their o
and yes paul is better then tp but not by much

Tony Parker is one dimensional.

Stop being a homer. TP could never do what Chris Paul has done in New Orleans.

[Allanon]

That was a serious whupping the Celtics put on in the 4th. Damn that team is good.

[The Nba Is Rigged]

The Celtics defense is just too good, wow...

[td4mvp21]

Tony Parker is one dimensional.

Stop being a homer. TP could never do what Chris Paul has done in New Orleans.

Oh no he isn't. I hate it when people that say that because they don't watch enough Spurs games to know. Parker is an excellent passer, a decent defender, has a nice midrange game and an obviously excellent inside game. He isn't one dimensional.

[Findog]

giving up 37 points in a quarter is not great d

What about holding Phoenix to 97? Are you trolling or are you that fucking stupid?

[sribb43]

Oh no he isn't. I hate it when people that say that because they don't watch enough Spurs games to know. Parker is an excellent passer, a decent defender, has a nice midrange game and an obviously excellent inside game. He isn't one dimensional.

true but he aint no CP3

[Findog]

HE IS SO FUCKING STUPID AND OVERRATED

He's one of the top four players in the League. Are you trolling or are you that fucking stupid?

[himat]

Lebron shot the ball too early..you don't give any team 7 seconds left to set up a play.

I see a lot of good teams do that including the Spurs and Pistons every once in a while.

They do that so that if they miss there is still time for a O-board and another shot. Also some teams are very confident in their defensive ability.

[td4mvp21]

true but he aint no CP3

I agree 100%. But Parker isn't one-dimensional.

[SpurForLife]

giving up 37 points in a quarter is not great d


And yet holding them to around 40 points in the entire second half is great D.

[anjlbitz]

Zebras siding with the other team again

/Nash and co.

[JamStone]

Stupid refs. The NBA is rigged.

[CubanMustGo]

After tonight the NBA is changing their "where ... happens" for Phoenix.

well atleast he does have the cavs in 4 place in weak ass east
not long ago they were not that high

james should have went to school to learn how to play the game
shooting with 7 seconds left is so stupid

[ducks]

And yet holding them to around 40 points in the entire second half is great D.
I POSTED THAT IN THIS THREAD SUNS WOULD BE LUCKY TO
BECAUSE SUNS ARE LAZY
THEY THINK THE REFS WILL BAIL THEM OUT
THEY CAN NOT DEFEND THE PAINT

THEY CAN NOT REBOUND
THEY NEED TO GET DENNIS RODMAN

[ducks]

Tony Parker is one dimensional.

Stop being a homer. TP could never do what Chris Paul has done in New Orleans.
QUITE BEING A HOMER
parker is not one dimension
spurs o is not a point guard dream
it will not lead to lots of assist

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=280301015

Down 1 point with 20 seconds left, no shot clock concerns, Manu Ginobili shoots and scores the basketball with 13 seconds left.


http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=280221016

Down 1 point with 10 seconds left, no shot clock concerns, Manu Ginobili shoots and makes a jumper with 6 seconds left.


Different situation when you're down points versus when the game is tied and you don't want the other team to get another shot. If you're down points, some coaches believe that you should shoot with a few more seconds left on the clock to allow for an offensive rebound or two.

[shelshor]

Does anyone have a still of Rondo giving Gnashie a stinkface in the 1st quarter at about 5:30?
Thanks

[JamStone]

Don't recall what happened in the 1st quarter, but here's that stutter in and out dribble Rondo put on Nash in the third quarter.

z866RCWOH54

[shelshor]

That was good too
Thanks
--the one in the first quarter, Rondo got called for the charge, but ended up with his butt on Gnash's face, with Stevie flat on his back

[Xylus]

Fucking fuck fuck fuck shit bullshit piece of fucking shitfuck fuck.

Never starting a gameday thread again.

Fucking fuck fuck fuck shit bullshit piece of fucking shitfuck fuck.

.......because that was the reason they lost

[Cry Havoc]

Whatever, ducks. CP3 > Parker and it aint close

Shocker, considering that CP3 > every other PG in the league right now. The only guy I would compare to him favorably is Baron Davis, because when Davis is hot, he's the most unstoppable PG in the game. Paul is far more consistent though.

[Xylus]

.......because that was the reason they lost
There's no denying it. I've started 4 gameday threads and the Suns have lost all of them. I have hard, scientific data to prove that I'm unlucky.

Baron Davis is especially hot on roller skates.
