Does anyone have a fork??

**BillsCarnage** · 03-01-2008

The Suns might be just about done...

This Philly game was a key game in the Shaq experiment. If the Suns had any energy, passion or desire they should have beaten the 76ers, but they were as flat as they've been at any point in the season.

With their schedule coming up the could end up with a 6+ game losing streak.

I'm really starting to think the Suns will be the team in the west that doesn't make the PO's. They are horrible right now.

Hey on the bright side if the Suns don't make the PO's they could potentially have two lottery picks..

Oh wait, they GAVE away their actual pick to Seattle to dump KT.. In the off season!!!

Presti looking like the GENIUS he is more and more every day.

**SAtown** · 03-02-2008

No forks, but plenty of sporks in the Spurs forum.

**JamStone** · 03-02-2008

I think the Suns can still be a 7th or 8th seed... LOL

**BillsCarnage** · 03-02-2008

close enough.. A spork would probably be less painful than watching the Suns right now.

**Don Quixote** · 03-02-2008

Right on. And we're loving every minute of it. Watching Phoenix go down in flames is almost as satisfying as seeing the Silver & Black add yet another trophy to their collection. So how's Shaq working out for the Ringless Wonders?

So, yep, stick a fork in em. Either now, or in the playoffs. But they're done.

There's comedy: (e.g., Everybody Loves Raymond, 2½ Men (allegedly), old Family Guy, According to Jim (allegedly)).

There's high comedy: (e.g., Frasier, Seinfeld)

There's the highest of comedy (e.g., the hippie dinosaurs on Austin, Texas, public TV).

And then there's http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb/...isplay.php?f=7

Enjoy

holy crap! i just checked out their remaining schedule

It's even worse than the Nuggets remaining games.

**ElNono** · 03-02-2008

The only guy I feel sorry for is Nash. He's a good guy, wants to win and his window is closing fast. Other than that, I'm loving every minute of it, especially because of Dumbare and tantrum D'Antoni. Now I'm waiting for Shaq to start complaining that he doesn't get enough touches, and that's when you know it's all over.

I don't feel sorry for Nash. He seemed like a big proponent of the Marion-Shaq trade, so he gets what he wanted.

**E20** · 03-02-2008

Shaq is motivated and is really paying off.

A good defensive player and rebounder and scorer and verstaile SF for 90 year old Shaq who can't really do anything, sure paid off. Okay Marion crumpled like a little in the PO's, but at least he helped them reach the PO's.

**ElNono** · 03-02-2008

Don't despair, help is on the way. Maybe Giriceck can suit up for the next game.

**1Parker1** · 03-02-2008

Shaq isn't the problem. D'Antoni is the problem. If he was a better coach, he would have designed a much better scheme to incorporate Shaq into their offense. However, D'Antoni's continued reliance on Nash and lack of belief in defense hurts the Suns. Really, I wonder what exactly does D'Antoni do as a coach? He seems to have almost no game plan against the opposing team, the play calling and devising seem to be left up to Nash for the most part, and D'Antoni spends more time ing to the refs and stamping his feet on the sidelines than making neccesary adjustments in games and actually coaching his team.

Suns are way too talented a team (yes even with Shaq) to have made such a drastic turnaround since his aquisition. It has to be something else that's wrong with the Suns; their system.

All I can say about the Suns collapse is it couldn't happen to a nicer fanbase!

Agreed 100%. And i really believe that D'Ant will be out if they miss the PO's or get bounced in the first round.

However, i don't really see any other coach out there that could get any more out of this current roster than D'Ant does.

And, between Shaq and Diaw's contract this franchise is in a world of hurt for the next 2+ years.

**E20** · 03-02-2008

What can you do with Shaq? People are deluding themselves.

I'm sorry but on this forum we use these:

**picnroll** · 03-02-2008

I call collusion. Kerr helping Presti out by trading for Shaq, getting the Sonics another lottery pick. Where the 's the trade committee?

Well, I can't really think of any coachs out there who are available right now except Larry Brown, so I'll get back to you

**nkdlunch** · 03-02-2008

a monkey could have done a better management job than Kerr

I know where your coming from, but even if D'antoni implemented a new system it would take time for players to grasp it. Time they do not have.
