NBA Countdown: No. 14 Phoenix Suns

[da_suns_fan]

Spurfan holds the biggest grudges and lords over meaningless plays the most: i.e. Memorial Day Miracle to Spurfan >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Amare and Diaw suspended to Suns fans.

Other Spurfan talking points:

1. Amare pushups
2. Duncan near Quad-Double in Game 6 of 2003
3. Steve Kerr winning 2003 WCF v. Mavs
4. DeJuan Blair is the best power forward since Mark Bryant
5. 0.4 seconds
6. 4 rings
7. "What about the gnomes, the gnomes could be out"
8. Fire Pop (circa 1997)
9. "Javie sucks"
10. Stan Kelly
11. The Coyote
12. Bowen isn't dirty
13. Every other fan whines
14. We respect Pistons and their fans

You forgot Manu's 48 point game he had five years ago that they all have on DVD and love to watch over and over and talk about over and over and over again.......

LOL @ Suns fans talking about obsession...

It was last season that Suns fans were still blogging about Horry's hip check...

I was going to put it in there but didn't remember the point total and wasn't interested in looking it up. Let's not forget that Brent Barry was the real key to that game with his typical late-game BS 3 pointers.

Exactly. Memorial Day Miracle was 10 years ago, pushups were at least 4 years ago, duncan's game was 6 years ago... we're done with the hip-check.

FIVE.

Same with Manu's 48 point game. As if we obssess over every 50 point game Amare has had in the five years since then. Or Nash's 40+ performances against Dallas, New Jersey etc.

Nash +30 tonight. Dragic -28. Not good.

I really hope dragic develops, kerr could have drafted any crappy college guard and got better results in the short term at least. Phoenix usually has a decent PG and I'm getting concerned who's going to take over after nash. Dragic is big, but can the pussiness be trained out of him?

Good 'ole SUNS basketball. Yep. We've already been either eliminated from the playoffs or swept by the #1 seed.
This years team will be like a night at the movies. Take the family,grab plenty of snacks,get a good seat, sit back and watch the show....but remember,it's just a movie. The SUNS have no real intentions of doing anything important this year like:
a)guarding people
b)rebounding
c)competing against the elite teams who will do a) & b) nightly.

So again, if you're content with just being entertained, then more power to ya.
I'd rather watch my team take one in the chin,rebuild,shift the emphasis,change the culture and try to do the things it takes to win championships....rather than just do the things it takes to keep the fan base interested and entertained until they can get ahold of the financial woes and find their next OFFENSIVE superstar. Unfortunately after watching for the last 25 years its become pretty apparent that thats NEVER going to happen here(commit to playing defensive basketball over putting a show pony product on the court).

Channing Frye hits some 3 pointers in preseason and the flock of SUNS fans decide it was a solid FA addition. LMFAO
Meanwhile the team is predictably getting beatdown on the boards,punished in the paint by guys like Speights.....

If the plan was to stay an offensive-minded,defenseless fun n gun basketball team why the would you let the mastermind of that garbage philosophy get away in the first place? I hated D'Antoni towards the end but this front office is making very poor decisions and has absolutely zero direction.
This franchise is a joke anymore and it saddens me.

This is the first season in a very long time that i could care less about.

I will watch for 3 and a half reasons this year.
Dudley,Clark,Barbosa and maybe Lou.
Its really a shame that these players talents(minus Lou) have been and will be wasted playing in this garbage system.
Barbosa could have been a much more well rounded NBA guard if he hadn't been coached under D'Antoni's one-sided system IMO. He's got the physical tools to be a decent defender and was the only guy that showed any improvement under Porter.

I still say that i'd rather have Matt Barnes on this team over Channing ing Frye, but thats just the mentality here in Sarver/Kerr's world.....stupid.

Salient point, Mojo.

My guess is bandwagon Argentinian Spurfan is nowhere near done talking about Manu's 48 point game.

Nash +30 tonight. Dragic -28. Not good.

And now last night Dragic had a +32 while Nash had a -14. Wow.
