No comment.

No, I have to say something. Whats the problem here? It like you purposely let the Nets catch up and win. The Suns are a very talented team. But their best talent is allowing the other team to play their best basketball. Players are always having career nights. I dont mind if you dont want to play any D (thats a lie) but, damn, you had better make you’re open looks and handle the ball. There’s far too many turnovers going on.

Ya know, I’m just going to stop now before I end up breaking something.

Grant Hill was horrible tonight…3 turnovers, and constantly getting into bad positions on the floor…the only two players without a turnover were Lopez and Raja…

what I want to know is, what are we going to do against any team with a penetrating point guard? they are torching us, and will continue to do so until we can learn basic pick-and-roll defense. I still think Singletary is too small as adefender and would like to see if Dragic can do anything against these point guards from a defensive standpoint.

Overall, this team is a mess. I mean complete lack of focus in the fourth quarter. part of it is that they are pressing too hard, part of it is their inability to play defense…most of it is the turnovers…i don’t sense any of it getting better any time soon.

That’s about the nicest thing I can say right now.

The turnovers killed us again, that and Devin Harris (must have been a career high for him or close to it). Oh, and that boneheaded Amare getting T’d up twice and ejected sure didn’t help. I knew when Gary what’s his name was talking like we were going to win (Phx was up 94-90) that we weren’t.

It’s pretty easy. Clean Up the turnovers and you will win the game. Devon Harris 47 points. Guards continue to have career nights against the suns. Do they play any defense on the perimeter?……The 1st quarter was solid. The ball moved across the court, they had low turnovers, open shots.

My opinion to trade Diaw does not change….The suns play their worst basketball when he is on the court. He was torched by everyone under rim, passed it when he should have just took the shot. He turned the ball over 3 times in 23 minutes (that one with like a minute to go made me cry), but didn’t do anything make up for his sloppiness. Did I mention he makes 9 million dollars.

Next 3 games hornets, mavericks, and jazz.
Time to suck up and start playing some solid hoop…..

If you look at the box score you would of thought they won the game…..oh wait 21 turnovers.

When the Suns start playing the better teams in the league.

Even worse than the 21 turnovers seemed to be the timing. Doris threw away 2 of this 3 on awful passing during the crucial tight time in the fourth.

I don’t blame STAT on the ejection, as I think both Ts were inappropriate. Having said that, he knew he had one … Although he “disappeared” in the second, I don’t mind that because he had strong 1st and 3rd periods and was working on a good 4th. During the first, however, I was thinking, “Why doesn’t he come out ‘on fire’ trying to be ‘the man’ when Nash isn’t playing?”

from the fans wanting a trade. I’m one of them. But I dont know who I want to trade away.

Obviously we want Marion back. That man gave us 8-9 fantastic seasons. All he wanted was a contract extention (which we couldnt give him until we had the money, but Miami isnt giving it to him either). We need his solid D, we need his speed, we need his ability to drive to the rim AND shoot the 3 ball (even with the ugliest shot in NBA history, its relatively effective).

Trade away?
Everyone is calling for Diaw. And to an extent I want to agree. Diaw is a very talented player. And I would hate to see him leave before he can play at his full potential. But do we have the patience for it? This is Thunder Dan’s project, and h has never let us down in the past.
Barbosa wouldnt be bad either. But we’ll most certainly lose much needed speed coming of th bench. Not to mention he’s a very emotional person, and to be traded away from friends in the same season as losing your mother, he’ll be devestated. I mean, Barbosa cried when we traded Starbury.

I dont think I would mind Steph coming back to the team playing for the vet min and coming off the bench. He’s still very much a solid player and could be one damn good backup PG.

I have to say I am a bit shocked. You want Marion and Starbury back? Because we lost a couple of games? People were calling for their heads while they were here. Remember Marion the Locker Room Cancer? And do you really want to pay $20m to Starbury to be the back up PG? Really?

Assume we were to get Marion where does he play? Who’s going to back up Amare? Do we move Amare back to Center and then Shawn at the 4 and Barnes/Hill at the 3? Haven’t we seen that tried before?

The only deal I am slightly intrigued by would be to somehow move Bell and get back Sergio Rodriquez. The salaries are way off but somewhere out there is a way to make that work with another player or two thrown in.

Besides, I love Boris Diaw. He had a crap of a game last night for sure but he’s not the only one. He’s been playing much much better this season and would be nearly impossible to replace. I always thought they overpaid him and rushed into that extension (thank you D’Antoni) but he’s also too valuable to let go unless you get some serious talent in return. And right now there’s no question that Diaw at $9m is better value then Marion at $17m.

The only real positive to take from this one was the strong start, and not to let the Suns off the hook, but Devin Harris was flat-out out of his mind last night. I’m thinking of a pull-up jumper late, where he started a drive on Nash to create space and then stopped and just canned it like there was nobody else on the court with him—nobody could defend that one. Gary Bender commented about how he made it look so easy and that was spot on.

Bad, bad timing for Amare to meltdown last night, and while I usually don’t notice or just ignore the officials, those were some pretty weak techs. Nash also clearly robbed on the 3.

I’m all for patience and the long-view, but 5 weeks into the Terry Porter era I’m not liking what I am seeing. I really didn’t know what to expect when they hired him, but I was thinking it was going to be adding a little more defense to the “it sure ain’t broke” offense. What I’m seeing is very little (if any) improvement on D, and the offense is just hideous. The turnovers are killing the team, period. Oy.

The Suns when they pull their collective heads outta their behinds or our fans in full panic mode until then.

Sarver-one of the worst owners in the league.

Kerr-one of the worst GMs in the league.

Porter-a resoundingly below-average coach.

Get rid of any one of them and you’ll see an improvement, however slight.
