Not getting rebounds didnt help either, but thats been the PHX Suns for a long time nothing new. I think they are looking forward to a little rest before the season starts and were obviously a little tired for this game. Wouldnt read too much into this one.

there is nothing else that can be said. I thought that their rebounding performance was absolutely stupid. I will be less harsh on Amare because he played less minutes but he still should have had at least 5-6 rebounds. But Frye? 30+ minutes and 1 ONE!!!!! F’ing rebound?!? gimme a %^&* break!!! That is just flat out stupid basketball. I will not make excuses for a Suns team that wont (yes, I said WONT) rebound the ball. Disgraceful….

get used to it guys….to quote myself

Patience is the name of the game as there will be many nights when this team is shooting 50% from three and looks unstoppable and there will be just as many nights when they get beat by 20 on the glass and don’t look they can protect the paint at all.

I’ve seen him play… there’s a few reasons he’s not a solid rebounder:

1) he’s not a real center. He’s tall, but he’s not big.
2) he’s always out of natural position offensively. Wanna see him hit more 3s? let him stay on the perimeter. We want this, because Amare seems to love owning the paint (one of the reasons him and Boris never worked, or even him and Shaq at times).
3) We’re a generally small team, so you can put your biggest guy on Channing and you don’t have to worry about Amare being a beast on the glass
4) Amare is his counterpart on the glass, and basically doesn’t seem to care all that much about rebounding. If he was a Tim Duncan type defensive rebounding machine, you would place your best man on him, then hope your next guy can handle Channing.
5) We never got Channing in hopes of him being a 10/10 guy. Don’t put that on him now.
6) This one is opinion, but I’ve seen him play up close, and while he’s not intense (like say Lou), he is there and he tries… (more than I can say about some other guys on the team).

Anyhow, that’s my take

I can’t believe these poll results. People, you are severely underestimating the importance of DRAGIC!

I hope the Suns don’t sign Collins, we don’t need another “big” who cannot rebound.

This team will frustrate on given nights. Channing Frye is not a NBA starter, he is what he is, a role player off the bench. Suns are going to get hammered on the boards most nights unless J-RIch and Hill really get on the glass. We have been waiting for Amare to be a consistent rebounder for years, well we are still waiting.
 This will be a tough year, and will get tougher next year without a No.1 draft pick.
 Look out for the bumps in the road fellas.

we got to the WCF. Difference is that team had heart. Not sure this one does.

Still, this team will win 48+ games, just because we’ll lose to the bad teams, even up with the medium teams, and beat up on all the bad teams. Won’t mean a thing, though.
