I love homer analysts

[texas84]

I agree with the home team analysts being homers... however, do any Suns fan or any neutral NBA fan agree that Phoenix would be the favored and better team in a 7 game series based upon the apparent fact they have 4 more scorers than the Mavs??

All I'm saying is make sense as a team's homer. Be somewhat logical.

Considering he starts on a regular basis, I find it hard to believe that he's out there just to "take up some space."

Let's get real - Penny Hardaway, Tom Gugliatta, Luc Longley, and Jake Voshkul are former Suns starters... sometimes you just need that one who takes up space because you have 4 other guys who are good...

Nash
Stoudemire
Barbosa
Diaw
(Marion, Bell, and Jones are irrelevant)

Nowitzki
Terry
Howard
Harris
(Stackhouse, Dampier, and George are irrelevant)

I'd call it more or less even, with perhaps a slight edge to Dallas that increases to a small edge considering how ball-dominant Nash is.

Lame attempt to cover your original post. Banks and Piatkowski can fill roles and points when needed (but only when Nash is on the floor). With Steve out, the Suns subs are worthless...

Banks has been a huge bust and Piatkowski has played, what, 30 minutes all year? It takes real talent to fail in D'Antoni's system and that's exactly what Banks has done. Even Tim Thomas looked like he was worth a in the desert.

I dunno how they do things in Phoenix, but here in Dallas, when Avery puts a guy on the floor, he's expected to make some sort of meaningful contribution besides "taking up space". and Buckner definitely does more than that.

btw Jake Voskuhl was the bomb in Phantoms yo, i dunno why you wanna diss him like that.

You want the biggest homers listen to a Heat game one time. According to thier analysts the Heat are the best at everything. They even think that Walker is good player.

Bulls

BULLS

you can't get anymore homer than them. I thought everybody knew about Chicago's analysts.

they even have a national TV homer with Marv Albert....although I dunno how big a Chicago homer he is now that Jordan's gone...but back in Jordan's heyday, there was no bigger Bulls homer than Marv Albert....it was like listening to a Sunday morning TV church service, except replace "Jesus" and "God" with "Jordan".

Banks is a huge bust, but Piatkowski has come up large in a few recent games with Diaw and Marion out, so don't knock the boy... I'm just saying Banks can pour in 20 points even if his plus/minus while on the floor ends up being a negative 60.

I think it's stupid that any analysist that says his team will beat the Mavs is automatically dubbed a homer. FYI, Phoenix is a tough team and they are capable of beating the Mavs in the playoffs.
