Is Phoenix religious? It will take an act of God for the Sons to keep Duncan from dropping 40+ every game against them.
So, in other words, wishful thinking is gonna guard Duncan."The biggest question that I repeatedly received over the past couple of months was, 'Who is going to replace Kurt Thomas?' The answer is a tag team of Brian Skinner and Sean Marks. Brian is big, active and can run at our pace. He's an excellent defender and shot blocker. Marks will surprise some people this year – he can really shoot the ball and may get more of an opportunity to play given our roster makeup. Both will help as the season goes on, depending on matchups and situations."

i dunno...kerr played with duncan so maybe he sees something in those two that might work and he has always said that was one thing the suns were missing.
I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants when I read your sage analysis/criticism of the Suns roster. That was pretty damned funny. So according to you, after the starting 5 the suns roster is pretty much worthless. Very funny for a Spurs fan to say, since you have exactly 3 good players on your team (Duncan, Ginobilli, Parker). The rest of that Spurs roster is straight poop. Garbabe. Role players. Aging veterans. Mediocre to sub-par talent at best. I mean, c'mon: Bonner, Mihinmi, Horry, Udoka, Barry, Elson, Bowen, Oberto, Vaughn, Washington, Finley? Are you serious? Those guys collectively are not as good as Barbosa and Diaw! None of those guys would break into the Suns starting line-up. Some of those guys wouldn't even crack the rotation on the Celtics! Gimmie a break!
You see, this is what is so comical about Suns fans. Yeah, you're right. Bowen, Finley, and Horry aren't worth their salts in the playoff. The best shutdown player in the league, a former all-star who can still hit shots at any time, and the one of the biggest clutch players in NBA history.
Phoenix would give their left arm (or more aptly, wing) for a guy like Bowen. Well, maybe not, since he isn't flashy and doesn't score a lot. He also plays defense, which gets you traded if you're in Phoenix.
...and Suns ignorance continues...

So by replacing Kurt Thomas, Skinner and Marks are going to "Gaurd" Tim Duncan. The last thing the Suns want is for Amare to take Tim on the Defensive end.....haha, this is going to be easier than last year. Way to go Kerr. This makes me think Kerr is still on our payroll, lol

Bowen definately serves a purpose...he's still probably the best wing defender in the league.
But I wouldn't trade any of our players for Finley or Horry. Finley is pretty washed up and Horry is completely useless other than being a player who can get opposing team members suspended.
But I doubt thats gonna work again.
You notice in that quote that when mentioning Marks, he immediately started talking about his jumpshot. No mention of how he would actually do anything on defense
Its great that a guy who never played d is in charge of a team that doesnt play d
I just don't see Kerr's logic. How is this suns team going to stop the Spurs. By outscoring them? That has never worked.
No, whats going to work is what has always worked, Best Defense in the league.
The Best defense in the league could only get a 2-2 tie with Phoenix (with two of three to go in Phoenix).
And now Horry, Bowen, Barry, Duncan, Ginboili, Finley etc. are a year older.
I think the Suns take it this year.
maybe if we put it in another language "IGNANCE"!!!!!
Horry is completely useless other than being a player who can get opposing team members suspended.
What have the Mavs won? I must have missed their NBA Championship celebration.
Nash, Hill, Piatkowski, Bell, Marion, and Skinner are a year older this year, I think the Suns are just to past their prime.
And the best offense in the league could only win 2 games? Ouch...
One more Finals appearance than the loser team you root for
da_suns_fan and yourcheatinheart must have convinced all their ass pirate buddies to stop 69'ing each other for a few minutes and sign onto ST.
Agreed that the Mavs are the only team that can really threaten the Spurs. No other teams have the roster makeup nor the mental edge to beat the Spurs. Yes, I know it's funny to talk about the Mavs' "mental edge", but I do think they are the only team in the entire NBA that really believes they can beat SA in a playoff series except MAYBE Detroit.
Disagreed that Udoka and Darius Washington will have any noticeable effect whatsoever on the matchups. We heard the same stuff about Elson and his supposed ability to guard Dirk last year, and in the final game between the two Dirk dropped 21 points on 50% shooting on him in a game that frankly didn't even matter for the Mavs. If you really think he can keep up with Devin Harris, you are absolutely crazy.
As always, the games between the Mavs-Spurs will be decided by the performance of the Spurs big 3. Fortunately for you guys, those 3 are extremely, extremely good. But the rest of the roster are pretty much scrubs that tend to have zero noticeable impact on the game (at least with the Mavs). I've watched Darius Washington play for a few years at Memphis.
I think the Suns have a serious chance at taking on the Spurs or even Mavs this postseason and finally getting past both. Especially if they meet up with the Suns they will have that extra motivation factor that may take them over the top.
My biggest problem with the Suns is their style of play is great for regular season games, but that style doesn't equate well in the playoffs where you face the same team for 7 straight games and they can make adjustments. It's easy to score points, but it's harder to stop the opposing team and play defense. You're not going to have as many blowouts in the playoffs as you will in the regular season. Suns need to learn to make crucial stops in close games and I just don't think they do that well enough.
You're a total freaking idiot. The Mavs have been to the Finals ONCE since they were founded in 1980. The Suns have been in the Finals twice: 1976 Vs. the Celtics, and 1993 Vs. the Bulls. Jackass.
My last post was for you, because you're probably too stupid to figure it out without directions.
Sorry rag, I guess I should have said this decadeMy last post was for you, because you're probably too stupid to figure it out without directions.

It's funny how the only time the mavs beat us in the playoffs was the year amare was out for the season and diaw was our center that wasn't our best post season performance don't forget we almost lost in the first round to the lakers and a lot of people didn't even think we would make it past the clippers
Can we get a Suns troll forum where there and only there are known trolls allowed to post? Seriously. I can only do so much. I can only take so much... I'm sick to death of logging onto Spurstalk.com and opening threads only to findout PhxSuns.net/AzSportsFan.com has invaded this site. If I wanted to read the schlock posted at either site, I'd have joined their sites!
I hate this effin !
