Seattle bout to drop one to the effing Clippers, too!Oh, glorious evening.
This is what you call a trifecta.
Where's the Suns fan who was saying the Spurs were overrated because they lost to Uta? Now who's overrated? Phx lost by 6, SA by only 1.
Hmmmmmmmmm?
Just a trifecta?
Spurs 1
Phoenix 0
Seattle 0
_allas 0
And for the trolls:
Lakers 0
Minny 0
Portland 0
And Rasho had 4 blocks....
Oh, what a night![]()
Anybody else watch the end of the Rockets/Mavs game?...McGrady did a mini version in the fourth of what he did to the Spurs....Dallas was trying to come back and McGrady just broke their back...slammed down a monster dunk and then hit three threes in a row on the break...a friggen 11 point turn in about 45 seconds...that team is dangerous...
Who was doing an impression of Miss Cleo yesterday predicting that the Suns would blow out the Jazz?
Boutons, was it you?
Me, for one.
Got to same I'm shocked the Jazz could beat the Spurs and Suns back-to-back. How many other teams in the league right now could do that?
Miss Cleo, just another black-on-black criminal.
Sure, the Spurs and Suns should have beaten a horrible Jazz team.
Spurs gave away (played badly) their 6th or 7th game to a lesser team, Jazz.
..... while the Suns played their defense-less/offense-only game and got beaten (not give-away) by a hot Jazz, who were probably still on a euphoric roll after beating the Spurs, and got Matt back, too. The Suns, best in the West, could have had a let down after beating the best of the East the night before in a different city. The Suns have yet to play badly, giving away a game to a lesser team.
What happened to the Suns happened, that's sports, and it's fun to watch.
What happend to the Spurs was caused by the Spurs playing badly, and that sucks to watch, and to play.
Phoenix is going to rout the Spurs on the 21st.
Id say iving up 115 points and not giving a crap on the defensive end, is pretty much akin to what the Spurs did.The Suns have yet to play badly, giving away a game to a lesser team.
This is a foreshadowing to whats gonna happen to Phoenix in the playoffs.
They play a team that hustles adn plays D, they are gonna get beat.
When the Spurs get there playoff mode on, the Suns will have a hard time getting to 100, and there 0 defense, will be a godsend for the Spurs.
I agree with you assesment.
Nevertheless, your prediction sucked.
Although for different reasons, I am glad to come here this morning and see some, Jazz support, although for us playoffs is a long shot, back to back games like this give us hope. to shoot over 50% two games in a row is great. We will see how deep the Jazz are tonight when they face the Kings, another win tonight would be huge!
About Arroyo not playing, I think Sloan is mad at him, and since Mcleod is lighting it up who cares if Arroyo is unhappy, the salt lake news today reported possible trade talk with Arroyo, and thats fine, he can go be y on someone elses team. Athens got to his head big time.
"your prediction sucked."
No, it didn't. PHX went in there last night and PLAYED THEIR GAME, as consistently as always, which is what I predicted (the Spurs DID NOT play their game in there), but PHX didn't win because Jazz played out of their heads, which I didn't predict.
"Id say iving up 115 points and not giving a crap on the defensive end"
NOT playing defense IS the PHX game plan, dammit.
The Spurs NOT playing defense is NOT the Spurs game plan.
Among the top teams, only the Spurs put defense first, so Spurs defensive failures are PRIMARY failures.
Not so with PHX, who league best record was achieved allowing their opponents 99 PPG, 24th worst in the NBA.
Somebody predicted the Jazz would be blown away by the Suns and therefore Suns >>>>> Spurs.
I can't find the thread.
If it was you, boutons, then your prediction sucked.
If it was not you, all is well.
My prediction that the NBA-best Suns blow out the road-kill Jazz, each would play its average game. I was half right. Suns played a good game that is good enough to give them the best record, but the Jazz played out of their minds.
In comparison with the Spurs-Jazz game, the Suns played their consistent game, the Spurs didn't.
I think English is not your native language, so I excuse you if the only verb you know is suck.
Have to give credit to the Jazz. Phoenix has some excuses about being tired on a back-to-back but the Jazz just played really well. Plus they hacked and grabbed Phoenix all night long. Suns had more turnovers than usual (14) and went to the line 36 times.
Suns cut it to one point but the Jazz made every big shot they had and when they missed they were pounding the offensive glass.
This is a tough stretch for the Suns. This was the second of three straight back-to-back games. Then at the Pistons on Monday before coming home to face Memphis and San Antonio.
I guess they have to lose some games sometime. Time to start a new winning streak I think.
mighty fine backpedalling boutons.....
I admit my prediction was wrong, BFD, but the prediction was in the context of comparing how the Spurs and Suns would do @Jazz.
My point that the Sunds would play the Suns game better, more consistently than the Spurs played the Spurs game was accurate, consistency being the Spurs' huge problem, and the Suns' great advantage. This more interesting point (vs won/loss) is undoubtedly too subtle for many readers.
Do you or smeagol have anything intelligent to add beyond "nya nya nya, your'e wrong"?
or is "suck" and "backpedalling" all ya got?
