- Warriors vs Suns coverage
- Golden State Of Mind Blog pal.
- If you go visit GSOM be sure to bring a Bud Light in honor of Don Nelson. There's a party in his belly. Oh yay!
Pregame Notes From Coach Gentry:
- Transition Defense is #1 key for Suns D then defensive rebounding
- Offensive, look for the Suns to pound it inside and not try and match-up with Warrior if they go super small
- Gentry said once again that he's been impressed with Amare's effort to get better defensively. He said that Amare's worked harder his preseason than he ever has before
- Gentry said that Amare has 8 charges in the last 9 games
- Talking about the lack of fast break points, Coach pointed out that the Clippers were focused on getting back in transition but that hurt them on the glass. Teams can either pound the Suns on the glass or get hurt in transition, per Gentry

Not going to be able to watch it tonight.
Here’s hoping that we can continue pounding the boards and get some fast break points.
Checking out the new Suns intro
thoughts…..
I am already tired of “R U Orang”
Music is Jayz of some kind (I had to ask Bret from AOL to know that)
Solid intro overall

yeah, I think the R U ORNG makes us look really stupid..
I hated it the first time I saw it on suns.com
it's not quite as bad as
the “DEE-FENCE” (with a picture of a picket fence) graphic on the jumbotron at Spurs home games.
Rookie Griffin
is on the side lines in blue jeans and a blazer. Rook needs to step it up

Amare

Amare
stood his ground a took a charge right in the chest from Randolph….nicely done
AR had plenty of time to avoid him too but choose to run Amare over

Nice job by
Dragic keeping his dribble w/ Ellis on him tight and then drawing help and finding LB for an open 3
I think that’s what a point guard is supposed to do

Turiaf shows flashes of having court vision
I wish he would just do it more consistently… we need that on this team

I love watching
little guys like Ellis and Parker get in the lane and hit floaters…
Best floater ever? Hornecek
Blogging Suns Basketball . twitter: @phoenixstan
Hornacek was an artist
It seemed like every time he floated the ball, it would be amazing and beautiful.
Nash’s floater isn’t quite in that league (which has a membership of 1, maybe 2 if you include Pistol Pete), but it definitely belongs on the next level.

broadband is driving me nuts
It worked fine for the Clippers game and the NY overtime tonight. Now that the Suns game is on I am staring at the message “NBA League Pass Channel 2” and can’t get out of it. Any help would be appreciated!
sorry
but it’s just NBA league pass, they aren’t streaming it and I have no idea when they’ll start even though they said they would. Try listening to the audio instead. Go to the top of the video screen and click on listen.
Same for me. I'm listening, but can't get video. Sucks. I was looking forward to that all night
But we’re WINNING!
Fanaticism is not logical
yes I was looking forward to it all day, and made sure I was ready for it. But oh well.
reconsidering whether to get nba league pass now
Yeah, is that something that will usually happen or just an early season kink?
Fanaticism is not logical
Still no Anthony Randolph
He played 7 minutes to start the game and hasn’t been heard from since….
Don Nelson…genius
Blogging Suns Basketball . twitter: @phoenixstan
...and Warriors fans...
SwishAppeal.com, women's basketball...covered SBN-style... twitter: @qmccall3
It's hard watching Amare
He just can’t get up to the rim at all.
He caught the pass in the lane and took so long to try something that he got blocked.
The he grabbed and OReb and tried to slam it home. Hit the rim and bounced off….
He’s just not got the hops at all
Blogging Suns Basketball . twitter: @phoenixstan
And it really doesn't look like, by the stats, that the bench has contributed too much.
True?
Fanaticism is not logical
Amar'e's woes
I’m still pretty confident he’ll play himself back into shape. He is very apparently not all there yet. Not even close. I think it’s going to be a longer haul than anyone expected. Hence, I’m not listening to anyone complaining about his effort and desire at this point. Dude’s body just isn’t where he wants it to be right now, and I have no doubt that he’s doing whatever he can to get it there.

I wish I could say it was in his head, but watching him last night and his stat line from tonight
It’s got to be physical. Even last year, half assing it, he was good enough to still semi dominate. He’s not even sixth man material right now.

It's just sad to watch

Thanks for the reply PHXgp. I should have read the earlier posts. I had tried for audio … said it’s loading but doesn’t. I’ll just watch this page and Yahoo Sport’s GameChannel.
With you... almost
I’m livid that I can’t watch the game. I’m sick and was literally looking forward to it all day. Still purchasing League Pass though. I plan on being a wicked hoop head by the end of this season.

if Frye deserves the credit, but he just broke up a 2 on 1 break but…putting up his hands

This is going to be a long season for the Ws
And the fact that Nellie won’t even play AR consistent minutes is going to make it longer…
How long till Curry finds himself on the bench?
SwishAppeal.com, women's basketball...covered SBN-style... twitter: @qmccall3
I am guessing that
Nellie took some crap either from the team or the media about AR not playing. So he starts him. Plays a few minutes. Then milk carton time

he’ll need some time before he starts dominating again but so far I’ve liked that he’s at least trying on the defensive end.
Not being critical
it’s just weird to watch….He’s a totally different player then he was a few years ago
If he can get his hops back and timing he will be much better for it.

You know what, imo
I’ll take a slightly less affective Stat as long as it tempers his attitude. I think that’s a fair tradeoff.
