New Orleans Hornets at Phoenix Suns, Nov 11, 2009 8:30 PM MST
[Note by Phoenix Stan, 11/11/09 7:47 PM MST ]
Coach Gentry Pregame Notes:
- Asked about a match-up like Paul and Nash Gentry said it is fun for the fans but not so much for the coaches that have to figure out how to stop those guys
- His biggest surprise so far is the rebounding. He credits Hill and Richardson for doing really well and Frye and Amare for "holding their own". Said that Suns are never going to be great OReb team but try and limit the other team's OReb's
- Plan all along has been to have the defense tighten up in the last 5 or 6 minutes of games and Gentry is happy with that on the road trip
- Being 7-1 is better than the other option but he once again said it's going to take 20 or 25 games to know where this team really is
- Asked if the Suns can continue with such a high 3P% Coach said the Suns can be in the mid 40's if teams don't adjust and take away those open looks (which would create more space in the lane)
- Amare is getting better and better each game but still has another level to go to. Gentry again praised his effort and stated that simplifying the defense has helped since there are fewer decisions to make
- Richardson is much more comfortable and not deferring and not concerned if he puts up 20 shots
- Coach pointed out that the Suns were a better free throw shooting team with Shaq. Go figure
- Talking about Dudley's ability to play guys tight and defend smaller, quicker players Gentry joked that they don't know how he does it either. He said Dudley is very smart and gets more out of his abilities than pretty much anyone he (Coach) has seen
- Dudley has figured out that if his man doesn't have the ball he can't hurt him so he does a great job on ball denial
- Talking about the Suns' fast break, Gentry praised Nash and Hill's creativity and said that Nash has a way of making coaches look good
Sorry folks. Busy day so no preview and I can't make it to shoot around either. Life, etc....
Here's some links to tide you over and feel free to drop in some previews in the comments throughout the day and we can mash them up.
Besides, what else is there to say? Chris Paul has torches the Suns over the past two years. Of course he's torching everyone this season and the Hornets are still only 3-5 so stay home on their shooters and let CP3 score but not get everyone else involved.

- Notes: Suns' Kerr sees team bonding
Frye is going through a process that all new Suns shooters have battled - turning down shots the coaches want him to take. Is Frye OK with firing away after misses? "Heck, no," Frye said. "They have to yell at me about it. I was 2 for 6 (to start Sunday's game), and I felt like the whole Earth was crashing down. They were like, 'Channing, keep shooting.' "I'm still working through it. I think ahead of myself. When I drove and nobody collapsed, I was like, 'Dang, now I have to shoot it,' instead of being aggressive. That's something I'll get progressively better at."

Let Paul score but cover the shooters and we'll be all right
Same strategy that limits Nash should limit Paul
Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."

not so easily done
Paul is a friggin monster. He’s so good at what he does. The reason the same strategy works on CP3 as well as Nash is because Chris openly admits that he modeled his game off of Nash’s. Chris may be one the top PGs in the league, but I think his best days are still ahead of him. I def see at least one MVP trophy going to him at some point soon. Only problem is that only the top team in the league gets the MVP…otherwise, last year it would’ve belonged to D-Wade.

the Hornets
right now don’t seem to be getting the production out of those other guys though and as a team they are struggling to gel and there are rumors that they are not clicking with their coach.
Against the Suns right now that’s not a good strategy. Against the Hornet right now it should be.

They quit on Scott last season...
Byron Scott’s extension was so baffling to me because he clearly has lost that team. Chris Paul and David West just look pissed all game every game and there’s times when you’ll see Scott try and talk to Paul and he’ll look as if Scott’s insulting his mother.

MVP...
LBJ deserved it last year. Yes, Wade had a VERY good year and is one of the elite players in the game but what LBJ did with that supporting cast was just unbelievable. Only 2 losses at home with a coach who doesn’t know the meaning of drawing up a play, a center who for all intents and purposes died 4 years ago, Varajao, West…hell, he even turned Mo Williams into an All-Star. Say what you want but LBJ earned that trophy.

Lebron was a better player than wade last year. The cavs and heat are my roommates favorite teams so we always watched them. Wade gambled constantly on defense and it really hurt the heat. He seems to have simmered down some this year….

Key will be the big men
You know you’re going to get production/playmaking out of the PG’s. Tonight’s matchup will probably turn on the most on whose front court imposes their will. Can Amare/Channing make shots and extend the Hornets defense before they try to pound us down low and attempt to outmuscle the Suns in the paint?
Also – type in the preview. Not TNT, rather the game is on ESPN.

Starters need rest tonight
I kind of hope this is a blowout. Honestly, I kind of hope it’s a blowout either way. I know it’s terrible, but I’d prefer a blowout loss to the Hornets followed by a competitive, rested, starting five against the Lake Show tomorrow. Of course, best case is a blowout win tonight, followed by a competitive starting five tomorrow.

sticking to our preseason expectations
it will be better to play hard and sure-up a win with the Hornets… they are a team like us in the middle-caliber strata of West, and possibly just like last year we will be battling them for playoff position more than we will the Lakers.
I don’t doubt that the Suns can win both tonight at home AND in LA. But I would continue to take the season one game at a time just like we have been. Monday the Suns showed amazing resilience by not giving up on the back end of double header and a get-away game of a long East coast road trip and coming back to beat the Sixers. This team has heart. One win at a time.
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...

Hello. Good point, sir. Beating the Lakers in this particular game does not count for much in the long term, in the entire-season view of things. I had Tptman’s attitude, because I am full of anti-Lakers rage, but I was wrong.

Well, for me a W against the Lakers would mean MUCH more
than a Win agaisnt the Hornets. The trap and danger is of course that the Suns look ahead to the Lakers game and LOSE to New Orleans. Then, of course, you are potentially facing back to back losses — I think that is what Eutychus is getting at. If I could choose to win only one of these two games however, I thinking beating the LAKERS is much more important. I don’t think there is even any comparison.
Do I want to beat the Hornets, heck yeah. We have suffered some heartbreaking losses to them over the past two seasons. This is why I am so mad at the NBA and the schedule they hit the Suns with. They really left us in a crappy spot — a team we need and really want to beat in New Orleans (based on recent history), and then the LAKERS, who are really our measuring stick for how far we can go this season.

I agree with your best case
But I think the cards are stacked against us tomorrow. Back to back road game against the defending champs? I don’t like our chances. I’d much rather win the game that we can win and then let the chips fall where they may tomorrow.

I understand your conservatism rsavaj......
BUT , I don’t like your choice of words here:
I’d much rather win the game that we can win and then let the chips fall where they may tomorrow.
What you’re saying here is that you don’t expect the Suns to win tomorrow night. I think that is a defeatist attitude. And, acknowledging that I am a newcomer on this site and not wanting to step on anyone’s toes, it seems to me alot of you guys kind of have the attitude that we aren’t good enough to beat the Lakers. I don’t see it that way. I think the team, and the fans has to be ANGRY and really want to beat them, and then you have to focus and channel that anger into your performance on the court. It is not like the Lakers have superior talent. They don’t. In the past their advantage has been coaching, preparation and execution. They kill teams with offensive rebounds and second chance points. If you take away the 3 from them and limit the second chance points they are very beatable.
If think we as fans have to be more positive and pump our team up rather than have the attitude that we don’t have a chance. The schedule and the back to back thing sucks. Yeah, it will be hard. But am I going to say that we don’t have a chance. No, definitely not.

No worries about stepping on anybody's toes or anything
I think that if all other things were equal, we’d have a good chance at beating them. But the back to back just really kills my hopes. We got pounded in Orlando, fell behind in Philly.

I agree with your sentiment about passion for the team and the game
and I do think that we can win both of these games, but looking at our back to back with philly, that may be a good indicator of how physically tired our team will be. No matter what your will is, if your body won’t go, then you can’t play at a high level, and that’s what happens when your team gets old. I think the key in the Lakers game will be the bench, then, for their lively legs and energy. If they can pull together significant minutes on the court I think we have a good chance.
Then again, I think we need to focus one day at a time and take full strength into New Orleans. Sure beating the Lakers will give us a big boost, but this isn’t the BCS. The team’s W-L record is the only thing that really matters here when it comes to the postseason, not whether we could beat the Lakers. A confidence booster, yes, but necessary, no.
by PHXgp on Nov 11, 2009 1:30 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
You're right PHXgp!
Ultimately it is the W-L record that matters most. As I wrote in my fanpost “Suns vs. Lakers 11/12: What I see” , this team can compete with and beat the Lakers, even in the playoffs. BUT I also believe that to beat them in a 7 game series we will need to have HOME COURT advantage. A Game 6 or 7 in LA would just be a tall order with the officials giving the Lakers every close call and calling fouls on Amare in the first three minutes etc. More than anything I think the home court advantage is HUGE because the referrees would give the Lakers much more license. So much so that it would determine the game and the series I think. For this reason HOME COURT is vital.
So, I think you are correct PHXgp that tomorrows game is not an end all and be all game. It is ultimately the best record and winning the Pacific Division that you have to have your sights on. I will add however, that with tie breakers the head to head is important. In addition, if we were to lose Thurs., I do think it will then be imperative to win the next game against the Lakers. IF you lose the first two, then I think the team will have doubts start to creep in as to whether they are capable of beating the Lakers — that is what I meant in my other comment about the psychological importance. But, yes, I think you are right that it would not necessarily be the end of the world if the Suns lose on Thursday (especially because of the back to back thing).

I get
the fact that you are interested in the strategic aspect of playing the season out. But in all your posts here you haven’t given one reason why you think we can beat the Lakers. (As an aside, realize that I have not hatred towards the Lakers) Most of your statements are “I believe” and of similar nature. Well, I am glad that you believe that, but it still doesn’t mean we can or will. If Bynum and Gasol are out I think we match up well and will likely beat them, but if one or both of them are in they are simply too big to beat conventionally. We can crash the boards all we want and it wont be enough to get the rebounds we need to beat them. We will have to grind it out and hope that we hit our shots.
Now granted, I didn’t read your post yet. Maybe you said your peace there but from what I see here it sounds a little too fluffy and uncritically optimistic.
Go read a book!
by N8lol on Nov 11, 2009 5:34 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Okay, fair enough. Here it is;
Here is why I think the SUNS can beat the Lakers. And I want to specify that I think we are at a huge disadvantage tomorrow night because of the scheduling of this game. Elsewhere in comments I have detailed how the NBA hurt the Suns and went out of their way to help the Lakers. That being said the Sun have this going for them:
1) Steve Nash. Not only is Nash playing revitalized basketball, but as others have noted, he is “happy.” Happy team leaders make better team leaders. Right now Nash is leading this team. He is hitting his shots, and more importantly he leads the NBA in Assists if you haven’t noticed. He dished out 20 the other night against Philly.
2) Derek Fisher sucks. This is related to number one. Fisher has no chance of stopping Nash. In fact, Fisher is one of the main reasons the Lakers are a beatable team. He comprimises their entire defense when the LA opponent has a quick, experienced point guard who can either penetrate and score or hit the open J with equal efficiency. Nash can do both. I have seen this many times. The LA sports media spilled alot of ink last year and spent alot of words about the need to let Fisher go into the sunset. He is a gritty vet who can occasionally hit big shots, but he sucks at the defensive end.
3) Bynum is inconsistent. He has yet to show that he can be a dominating force on the boards night after night. He will have one great game and follow it up with a clunker. In addition, he tends to pout when he doesn’t get enough touches and then will proceed to disappear on the defensive end. Long and short, he has great potential but is still immature and you can’t count on him.
4)Gasol is injured and probably won’t play. Unlike Bynum, Gasol does bring it every night and he is a stud on the boards and on the stat sheet. He can score down low with either hand and has a variety of offensive tools to hurt you with. I think the fact that the NBA allowed the Lakers to make that blatantly one sided trade with Memphis (Kwame Brown for Gasol, LOL,) is the MAIN reason the Lakers are wearing rings right now. That being said, Gasol is injured and the latest word is that he probably will not play on Thursday night. This is a big advantage for the Suns. Amare should be able to operate inside with some efficiency.
5) Suns bench is better than Lakers bench right now. Alot of people have been praising our bench play thus far. And rightly so. They deserve alot of the credit for the fast start. Goran of course, and especially Dudley have really given the team a spark. In contrast, guys who the Lakers have gotten big play from in the last two years are stinking it up; Farmar has been average and Sasha has just been terrible thus far. The Laker bench doesn’t scare me right now. They could get there by mid-season, but right now I give the Suns the edge here.
6) Jason Richardson has exloded offensively. I always knew he was good, and always liked JRich, but right now he is just playing spectacularly, particularly in his 3 point shooting. Potentially having 3 big scoring options is key. I do fear that Kobe might decide to exert the energy to lock down on JRich, in that case other would have to pick up the scoring slack, and, the point I didn’t mention in my fanpost was that if Kobe does this it is likely to hurt his offense at least somewhat.
Those are the main points. With more time I could think of others. Certainly there is enough in our favor to win. It might even make more sense to extrapolate this over a seven game series, but of course alot can change between now and May (injuries etc.) and we will just have to wait and see. Suffice to say, I certainly don’t cower before the Lakers or bow down to them in an act of concession. By the way, who have the Lakers beaten recently: Memphis, Oklahoma, Houston,…. It’s not like they have beaten the Celtics in Boston — WE have.

Good points man
But I have some counterpoints
1) Derek Fisher may suck, but we don’t cover shooters, and he’s a shooter that will hurt us if we leave him
2) Bynum is putting up better numbers than Amare right now for the season, and historically plays very well against us
3) Jason Richardson is going to cool down eventually!
4) They have Kobe Bryant

3 isn't debatable
He shot 72% from 3 on this road trip. You really think he’s going to keep that up?
Under D’Antoni we never averaged 40% from 3. Right now we’re shooting 47%! You think we’re going to keep that up?
As far as Bynum goes, yeah, he’s injured, but when he’s healthy, he beasts us. Let’s hope he’s not healthy on Thursday.
And I love the Gorilla but unless he can play D on Kobe….

The Spurs always seem to start slow.....
and then the time they really start to get locked in defensively is when the take the Rodeo Roadtrip, which they have every year. That seems to be the time that they come together and gel, both emotionally and on the court. They get their engines running(so to speak) for the playoffs. I don’t see any reason why this season should be any different.

I do not think the SPURS will be as good as they were 2 or three years ago. Yes, they did add Jefferson, but he is well past his prime. Duncan is two years older with more wear and tear, and so is Ginobilli. You could argue that of their core players, only Parker has improved significantly.
My main point was that the Spurs know how to pace themselves over the course of a long season that includes the playoffs. They don’t burn themselves out early in the year. Popovich deserves alot of credit for this. The Rodeo Road trip is sort of a good mid-may point for them to ramp up there game, and I think Pop presents it and frames it that way. All that being said, I do not think the Spurs will Win the Title or even get to the Conference Finals this season. I would take an even money bet with anyone that the SUNS finish the regular season with a better W/L recored than SA.

pretty sure most of the team is ridding quite a high at the moment and were back at home hopefully we take this one. does it seem fair to ne1 that we had this tough road trip and come back have a game home then go play the lakers who are well rested?

Pregame Stat of the Night
The team puts out these pregame quick fact sheets before every game.
Most of it is standard stuff like “4 – A win tonight would give the Suns their fourth-straight victory and allow Phoenix to register its second four-game win streak in the the season’s first nine games.”
But there’s usually a couple that are pretty good like this one:
“There are 20 NBA teams whose overall shooting percentage is lower than the Suns’ three-point field goal percentage.”

Interesting idea...
I like his and Hubie’s reasoning though. It takes the pressure off referees to make or not make game-changing calls. Hubie mentioned something about the ABA having a 6 foul limit, but instead of being DQed, every foul on that player after the fact resulted in not just shots, but possession of the ball as well (in effect, making it a technical foul). There’s still a penalty for exceeding the limit, but it doesn’t result in the loss of said player. I think it’s worth considering as it allows the teams to still field all their players but still keeps some bite to the foul limit.

But at some junctures
Your post-6-foul penalty can be worse than ejection.
Imagine if a team is up 4 with 2 seconds left, and some bonehead on that team commits a loose ball foul which happened to be his 6th? So instead of just getting ejected, the other team gets 2 FTs and the ball back, and can conceivably win the game.
I think 6 fouls is fine. I mean, I can’t think of anything that brings more improvement than new problems.

I suppose
but you could just as well throw in an ad-hoc stipulation that changed the rule back to ejection during the last minute

Yes
but the fact that coaches yank their guys in the 1st Q when they have 2 fouls bugs me more than the 6 foul limit.
Instead of taking a gamble if your star can stay in the game with those fouls, they handicap byself by not playing those guys first. Is there a difference between a minute of the star in the 4th Q and a minute of the star in the 2nd Q?

HOw about..
The refs don’t give stars the star treatment and fouls are called because they are fouls and not because they want to give the LeBron’s and Kobe’s of the game 40 points a night and foul out their defenders…
The stars who are stars will no doubt play well and put up big numbers… they don’t need the help of the officials

I'm on the fence about whether there is really a significant amount of star treatment
but on the other hand I thought it was hilarious tonight when JVG said something along the lines of “and refs don’t want to give players like Howard quick fouls” like before they blow the whistle on Dwight they think to themselves, “well, now, its only fair.”

I was on the fence until
last year when LeBron fouled JRich on his 360… Oh I mean blocked* JRich.
Say what you want about “JRich shouldn’t have been throwing down a 360 this isn’t an AND1 video blab lalablablal”… LeBron got that call because he’s LeBron. And I like LeBron but I was steaming. To top it off… after the season was over LeBron in some interview said that was his favorite block of the season… because he knows it really wasn’t a block.

No star treatment? It’s been this way at least since MJ’s hayday.
In Tim Donagy’s book that’s one of the biggest points he makes. That there IS star treatment, and that it pretty much operates across the board with all refs…

Avery is on crack. “The Suns are as good as advertised, probably a 7 or 8 seed.”
Best record in the West is what is advertised, and that equates to a 7 or 8 seed? Come on, douche bag, say what you mean and mean what you say. You think we’ll slow down and will end up with a record simliar to what “experts” had expected.

Nice Job Suns
Steve Nash, my favorite individual NBA player, looks as good as he ever has and Grant Hill, Amare and J-Rich are all doing magnificent jobs. The Hornets never had a chance and it’s nice to see the Suns getting back to their running ways. Hopefully, you guys beat the Lakers tomorrow. I’ll be watching (after 49ers-Bears, of course!) P.S., I plan to make the theme music on the Phoenix Suns’ radio network my theme song. In fact, I’m listening to it right now!
