Very bad, very bad defense. But it's the 1st quarter against one of the fastest, high-powered offenses in the league. We'll see how the rest of the game goes.
that vaunted phoenix D is at it again.![]()

But Suns fans say Suns have underrated but good D...
It's true.
But I won't deny the Suns are inconsistent. They go through a few defensive lapses per game.
True. First quarter, second quarter, third quarter and fourth. That's it, unless of course there's an overtime.
lol.....well there is no excuse for giving up 45 points a quarter...Golden state is ssuch a better team with their captain in the line up
You guys should check out opponents' field goal percentage, or points per possession to get an idea of why I think the Suns play D. The Suns allow 44.4% FG per game (the Spurs allow 45.9%). The Suns allow 102.4 points per 100 possessions. The Spurs allow 103.3. The Suns are 4th best in blocks (the Spurs are 23rd). The Suns are 5th best in steals (the Spurs are 20th).
Do I think the Suns play better defense? No, of course not. But stats don't lie, and the Suns have played some good D so far this season. Inconsistently good D.
The problem with your fluke statistics is that the Suns give up a whole lot more possessions so who cares.
45 points in 12 minutes is also a stat. Count that one in there.
Really, when's the last time the Spurs have gave up 45 in a quarter?
Yeah, possessions per game is not a defensive statistic.
45 minutes in 12 minutes is an isolated instance, not a trend. The Pacers scored 46 points in a quarter several nights ago, but it doesn't make them an offensive juggernaut.
The Spurs haven't given up 45 in a quarter because they allow fewer possessions, and they're more consistent on D.
45 POINTS! Who are they playing?
EDIT: oh nevermind, of course![]()

Phoenix giving up 46 points in a quarter is horrible. It's the equivalent to the Spurs giving up back to back 30 point quarters to say a 4-9 team ... oh wait ...
Time to feed boy. Amare needs to have the ball on every possession.
This reminds me of the Lakers game earlier in the season where LA raped us. The Suns are being raped tonight.
stephen jackson made you his biatch tonite sonfans....
i make love to pressure in every n quarter
With no defense you guys have chance of getting back into these games. I watched this game when Spurs were on commercial and it is like 10 sg/sf going at it nonstop lol.
Not a good day to talk about other teams' defense Spurs fans![]()
We were able to almost climb back from ownage because of our semi-non- ty defense :read:
fun game to watch. hope the warriors make the playoffs again.
Your said team also allowed 50% shooting tonight, just like the Suns and the Mavs did.![]()
