Sonics vs Suns

[angel_luv]

Down with the whiners!

[sa_kid20]

Hopefully P.J. can get that first win tonight

[picnroll]

Early returns, Suns defense looks even wose than in years past.

[angel_luv]

So defense is no one's priority

haha- picnroll beat me to the observation.

[dirk4mvp]

Durant is gonna go off tonight.

[T-Pain]

Hookem Kevin!!!

[Walter Craparita]

Durant looks like a natural out there.

lol @ all these nice dunks the Supes are getting on the Suns.

Agreed.

Which means the Suns will still come up empty-handed in their quest for a le.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Collison just owned Marion.

[sa_kid20]

Nash already has 4 TO's

[StylisticS]

Collison just owned Marion.

And that's just being to nice. Collison made it look easy.
and yes, the Phoenix defense does not look good at all.

Sonics are my 2nd favorite team right now. They've got Presti and Carelismo, and they took Durant away from Texas (so he didn't play A&M for more than one year; I know he would have killed us if he developed more while in college). Oh, and the whiners & thugs from 2005 are gone. Go Sonics!

[picnroll]

Early returns. Suns aren't a real contender.

I'm baffled by two statements that Doug Collins just made. At the last timeout, in talking about the Suns, he characterized them as "talented," which I don't dispute, and "deep." A few moments later, when Amare picked up his 3rd foul, he immediately said that the Suns weren't that deep on the frontline. It would seem to me that if you are a "deep" team, you have backcourt and frontcourt depth. If the Suns don't have good frontcourt depth -- I'm fairly certain that they don't -- I have no idea how they can be considered a deep team.

To that end, one thing that has killed the Suns the last couple of years has been a lack of depth -- or at least D'Antoni's refusal to use whatever depth he has (see Game 5 of 2007 WCSF). They added Grant Hill, Brian Skinner, and two rookies, while subtracting Kurt Thomas, so I wonder where this great depth is.

I think Suns are notoriously slow starters. Didn't they start 1-5 last year and something bad like that the two years before?

Nice catch. Just further proof that Doug Collins is a dumbass.

I guess cause Pippen and Jordan won their 1st le after 4 years of playing together means that the Suns will do the same.

I hate it so much how it seems like all of America wants the suns to win the le.

[Pistons < Spurs]

That was a pretty sweet move by Durant...even if he didn't score.

And I really like Wilcox. He's on the verge of becoming a serious player in this L.

They have no defense and they have poor rebounding. Name the last NBA champion that couldn't rebound or defend?

[dirk4mvp]

Durant sure ain't afraid to put a shot up

[T Park]

One thing Mavs and spurs fans can unite on.

hatred of the Suns jockeying


I also hate the

"My heart says suns but my head says...."

WTF, your heart? WTF is with the HEART thing.

[yeahone]

low post players gonna love playing the suns they got no post defender...their defense looks terrible...and this is supposed to be their year timmy gonna average 35 and 15 against them..lol

[SpursFanFirst]

Sonics are really hanging in there! I'm surprised given that this is the 2nd of a b-2-b. I know they're a young team and all, but I still expected them to struggle.
Good for them!
