Do you recognize that sound? Can you hear it? That's the sound of the Phoenix Suns Bandwagon filling up to it's capacity. Yes, just like 2004. Hey, there's still room, feel free to jump in!
Suns Basketball is officially back. Steve Nash is the best PG in the NBA, they are leading the League in scoring, three point shots are raining over opposing teams, nobody can stop the Nash - Amar'e pick and roll and the bench is freaking awesome. But wait, did I say bench? But that was not a part of Suns basketball before...
Indeed. The starters on this Suns team are not the only ones who can run and score, They are not the only ones who can make big shots and make the opposing defense work. The days of the 7 man rotation are long over. The Phoenix Suns have players coming off the bench who provide energy on the defensive end and can score in a variety of ways. They are the reason the Suns are buzzing in the news while winning games. If the bench continues to play like this all season... The Suns will be among the top 3 seeds.
But before we even think about that, there's an important challenge tonight, some people might even call it a measuring stick. The Suns are going against the defending NBA Champions. The Los Angeles Lakers.
But make no mistake, this is only one game. If the Suns beat the Lakers tonight it will feel really good, I'll give you that, but it will not mean that we are better than them. Not yet. There's a lot of season to be played and a lot of things need to happen before we come up with that conclusion. Now that we got that out of the way, let's focus on how the Suns can Beat LA!
Oh, and before I forget: To all of you doubters out there, I'm not ashamed to say I'm drinking the Suns Kool Aid... at least I'm not writing this kind of stuff at the beginning of the season.
More after the jump!
Let's not forget this is the second game of a back to back and we suck at those. What's working for us is that most of our starters are rested since we blew out a depleted Hornets team last night. Nash should be fresh and the young guys shouldn't have a problem playing with intensity. There's still a risk of being tired though. The Lakers, on the other hand, are rested and playing at home and it's no secret that we bring the best out of Kobe Bryant. Which leads me to point #1 on how to beat them:
- Make Kobe work hard for every shot: There's really no way to stop this guy so why even bother? At least we have to make him work hard. I expect Grant Hill to be all over him and hopefully we can slow him down. He's going to score on you but what makes him dangerous is when he starts to get his team mates involved. If I was Gentry I would not double team him unless we recover fast to cover the open man.
Phoenix is shooting a ridiculous 50% from three point land. The addition of Frye has spread the floor for them and it's paying dividends. Goran Dragic and Jared Dudley have also worked on their three point shot which helps the team continue to spread the floor even with the whole second unit playing. That's big, to say the least and this is point #2:
- Keep raining threes: Don't get me wrong. I don't want them to fall in love with the three point shot but if it's working you have got to keep on shooting. Besides, most of the three point shots are wide open looks due to the great ball movement they have shown. If it's not working, I know our team is mature enough to get away from that and try something else.
Truth is, the Suns have improved their defense and everything starts with the attitude. They are rotating and talking to each other on the defensive end, they are pointing at players who are open and holding each other accountable. But most importantly, they seem to care about defending and seem to enjoy when they get a stop or a hard fought rebound. A perfect example: Barbosa fighting for position with David West last night. Although he got called for a foul, he certainly wasn't going to back down from a bigger and stronger player. Really cool. Which leads me to point #3
- Defense Sparks: Grant Hill, Jared Dudley, Sweet Lou. These guys have to continue to bring it. We have to show LA we want it more than them. Defense and rebounds is all about who wants it more. Having the extra possession in this game is going to be huge.
Final Thoughts
Let's try to enjoy this game. If we lose, that's fine. Just like Stan said, it might be better for the team to realize they're not that good yet. If we win, it'll be a confidence boost and we will all feel great (which doesn't hurt either).
Forget about Stats, rankings etc. We know how to recognize a good team. There's one thing I know for sure and allow me to quote Kobe Bryant, which I seldom do...
"The Suns are as hot as a Pistol"
You are damn right about that.

"They're a much more talented team than us and they're the world champs," Nash said. "I don't think we're sitting here saying, 'We're better than the Lakers.' We want to continue to get better every day. If we go and play well, we can beat them, sure. I don't think it's a situation where we're, all of a sudden after two weeks, going from a team that was supposed to be out of the playoff picture to a team that's going to win a championship. We've got to be humble." - Steve Nash

First
Aren’t we 1-1 on the back of back to backs?
And New Orleans firing their coach, that sounds like panic to me.
Fanaticism is not logical
by SunDolphin on Nov 12, 2009 12:39 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
seriously...
GM jeff bower definitely hit the panic button. honestly, what else were you going to get with that team? allow me to explain…
chris paul is the real deal. he is one of the best, most exciting, and most promising point guards in the league. there’s no doubt about that. and david west, as he has proven, is an all-star talent, even if i don’t like his game very much. he can play the game, and is enjoying the luxury of being set up by a superstar point guard.
now…devin brown. remind me again why he’s in the starting lineup? oh wait, it’s because they don’t have anyone better to put there. new orleans made the mistakes of giving guys like james posey (who was big on that celtics team for what he did, but overall, shouldn’t be counted on as “the guy” off your bench) and peja stojakovic big contracts. it’s been well documented that peja has had back problems for most of his career. they fell in love with his dead eye spot up 3-point shooting, which is what he’s been reduced to.
they traded tyson chandler away for emeka okafor. i liked that move in the summer, and i still like it, for the hornets. they got rid of chandler, who was an injury risk, and picked up okafor, who is a more talented defender, even though the talent level is kind of a wash (when chandler’s healthy).
new orleans has picked up a promising (if unspectacular) point guard prospect in darren collison. that’s about the depth of their bench. hilton armstrong is mediocre at best (and i emphasize at best), julian wright has proven so far to be a flop (even though he’s still young), and the rest of their bench is a joke.
the hornets have learned a valuable lesson this year, the hard way: with chris paul unhappy about the talent and pieces management has surrounded him with, they are still about $3 million over the luxury tax line and unable to cater to his wishes. here’s the bottom line: don’t overpay for players who have a breakout (or career) year, unless they honestly show promise. i think a lot of teams overvalue veteran role players that come from championship winning teams (a la james posey), and think that that player will “get them over the hump”.
there’s trouble afoot in new orleans, but you have to think that with the coaching change, the team will be fired up, and possibly post a semi-respectable season, even if it takes chris paul taking over and setting career (or near career) high’s in every category.

the worst part about this for them...
is that their coach is guaranteed a good chunk of the remainder of the contract ( much like Porter ) so if they’re trying to shed salary, paying 2 coaches is not the way to go…

weren’t familiar with the Suns situation and chemistry issues called the firing of Terry Porter panic.

Porter wasn't fired 7 games into the season. End of discussion on that one.
What pot was smoked in that New Orleans front office? If a coach is not your guy, change it in the offseason. If he’s your guy, stick wtih him until at least December!? I think I saw that the GM is now the new coach. Not sure on that. I feel bad for the Hornets and their fans. The GM, especially in light of what Paxton said, should fire himself.
I’m not saying this wasn’t a decision that had to be made, but there’s a time and place for it, and if there was real chemistry issues then the GM should have made this move before the season. Maybe he gave the guy one last chance, but to me that’s like playing with fire. If whatever the FO saw last night was enough to can the coach (the last straw), they must have been seeing it weeks ago, or they’re just nuts.

The Suns have fired a coach 7 games into a season
And it wasn’t panic. Jerry Colangelo fired Butch Van Breda Kolff 7 games into the ‘73=’74 season and took over himself. It was the right move because VBK was clearly a mistake. The Spurs did the same thing with Jerry Tarkanian. The difference here is that BYron Scott is a proiven commodity. Now the Hornets wiil have to retool on the fly. I think they might have trouble making the playoffs.
This may be a good thing for the Suns. Unlless George Shinn comes up with a solid coach, Chris Paul will probably decline his option and be a free agent in the summer of 2012. It just so happens Nash’s contract expires after the 2012 playoffs.

Agree Panama about Kobe's scoring....
He is going to get his points. When the Lakers kill you is when the other guys all get involved. I agree they shouldn’t double Kobe, except for key possessions like coming out of a time out or at the end of quarters.
Don’t let Farmar, Fisher, Brown sit out beyond the arch and bury 3’s. THAT is what would kill us tonight! Not necessarily the fact that Kobe gets 40. In fact, I kind of hope Kobe shoots alot, gets 37-40 PTS but the role players are relatively silent. I think that is the perfect formula for a Suns win.

Kobe is posting up now.
Oh noes.
Remember: if we lose, it doesn’t mean much of anything at all. We’re on a back to back and on the road.
If we WIN, it does’n’t mean much of anything at all. They’re without Pau.
Still though….I want this win terribly badly.

Yeah, we need the W
There are positives and negatives to losing and winning this game, but bottom line is we need to make the playoffs and get the best seed we can. That means cut the pyschological bull shit and just win games. I wish we had that Orlando game back. We need this one. Every game we play we need. I don’t know what will go down in April, but I’ll say this, if we don’t win now it may not matter much. And if we COULD grab the #1 seed, it may not matter if LA is the better team. Anything can happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong
I haven’t watched very many Lakers games this season – but I know Kobe’s tendency in the past has been to lay back and conserve his energy in the first half and get his other guys involved, so that he can come on strong and close out the game in the 2nd half.
- One thing that has worked for Phoenix in the past against Kobe is to tire him out til he runs out of gas in the 4th – In recent history and as Raja Bell declined in offensive threat level and as our team identity slowed to a snail’s pace, Kobe never got tired in games against us and we haven’t been very much competition for the Lakers.
I think it will be key for us to make Kobe constantly work. Both on the offensive end by D-ing up his supporting cast so as to force him into “score-mode” earlier than the 2nd half, and on the defensive end. I am confident that a combo of the slashing and cutting and scoring Grant Hill and JRich can do that. One thing Ron Artest has added to the Lakers is the ability to guard the hot hand on opposing teams (a role Kobe primarily fulfilled previously) and thus giving Kobe that defensive court time to rest and explode offensively. Both Grant and JRich (and whoever comes in, LB, Dudley, Dragic) need to be scoring threats tonight especially.
Mobile Big Men – this is an advantage I think we will have tonight with Gasol out. I don’t think Bynum, MBenga, Odom, and certainly not Walton can handle either the masterful Amare/Nash pick and roll or the range of Channing Frye, it will be difficult for them to close out on Channing. Powell and Morrison might be able to, as well Artest is pretty good at running shooters off the line or at least contesting. I think we will be able to spread the floor and still get our primo-spacing against the Lakers. We just need to overcome the Staples center creepiness factor and continue to shoot well like Panama has already hit. (it always looks way too dark at the Staples center to me)
Last – Dragic needs to step up huge here. I’m a huge Dragic supporter and I’m dazzled with the things he’s doing this year – BUT the Staples center and the Lakers have not been kind to Dragic. He has choked pretty bad out there in LA and especially against the Lakers – he will need to overcome those memories and feast on the confidence he has snowballed here to start the season. We need productive minutes out of Dragic. Plus – I know Fisher and Farmar are going to pressure him in the back and front court just like he hates – so he’s going to need to be ultra aggressive like last night and put that rump move (he used it on Collison last night a bunch to shake him off and it worked a bit) he’s started to use into action again.
Should be a fun game to watch (but hasn’t every game been fun to watch!!)!!!

Plus, does anyone else
feel that we might be able to lull the Lakers bench into running with our bench (where we would have the advantage) and maybe even lulling some of the starters (I’m specifically thinking of Artest) into taking a lot of bad three point shots?

Agree with 2nd paragraph about making Kobe work
You are right about his tendency to conserve his energy and then take games over in the 4th quarter. That has been his pattern the last couple of season. However, with Gasol out lately he has been shooting and consequently scoring more in the 1st half. It will be interesting to see how he comes out tonight.

Love it.
Dragic needs to show up in a big way, and we need to wear the hell out of Kobe.

Dudley on Bryant?
Hello. I’m sure this is a stupid idea, but what if Jared Dudley guards Kobe Bryant? I have no idea if Dudley is any good as a stopper, but he has as much strength, energy and intelligence as Raja Bell used to.

He will certainly
get minutes on both Kobe and Artest but Hill and Richardson are the starters and will get the bulk of time.
As long as Barbosa doesn’t end up on Kobe then I am good with a mix of JRich, Hill and Dudz.
Putting LB on him is just not fair…

Don't think so....
Raja Bell used to do an incredible job on Kobe. And I know he really droze him crazy and got under Kobe’s skin, so much so that Kobe, being the cheap shot artist that he is, would elbow Bell in the ribs, neck etc. We saw that in the playoffs. Unfortunately, I don’t think we have anyone of Bell’s caliber defensively to hold Kobe down. We’ll need to do it with a good team D game plan and execution.

Dudley..
I think Dudley can be just as pesky as Bell was, maybe even more so because he has a little more weight on him. I was impressed by his defense on Paul Pierce, in that Celtics game who looked pretty terrible. He hustles more than Bell, and refused to give up!
by taybart13 on Nov 12, 2009 2:41 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Personally
I do believe that Bell was a star stopper in his prime and I thought he was a great tool for us at times… but his prime ended a couple of years ago.
On the other hand Dudley is just on the morning horizon of his prime – and from what he has displayed early I don’t think it is a stretch at all to say that Dudley is as effective as Bell was… as a matter of fact I would say that D-Day is stronger, smarter, and puts forth more effort than Bell did. And he does it non-stop.. no matter what the whistle is blown for. Bell had a frustrating tendency to be too theatrical and moody like it was his moon time… He would give up on plays, argue too much with officials and Kobe or whoever he was defending would take advantage of his emotions – and the thing that frustrated me the most was his arrogance at times.. he would get mad during a set and then foul somebody on purpose to stop the clock and walk over to the bench and pull himself out of games when he “wasn’t feelin’ it”. Dudley would never do that – D-Day is set on seek-and-destroy ALL. DAY. LONG.

If you say Kobe is a cheap shot artist then you must include Bell in that list also
Kobe on Shaq (2003) - "But this is his team, so it's time for him to act like it. That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court.....no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. Also, "my team" doesn't mean only when we win; it means carrying the burden of defeat just as gracefully as you carry a championship trophy."

let's all be realistic here...
in bell’s glory years, he was a MUCH better defender than dudley is. not to say that dudley is a bad defender, but bell had the moniker of being the “superstar stopper”. jack gave a good reason as to why bell was, and probably will be, more effective on kobe.
he really got under his skin. when kobe would give him elbows, raja would take the opportunity to either a.) turn up his defensive intensity, where other defenders might back down, or b.) turn that elbow into an offensive foul, further frustrating kobe.
now, kobe will be kobe, and kobe will score his points. i think we really need to just get someone out there and pester him the entire game. if we can bother him enough to the point where he gets angry and feels the need to jack up his shot over getting his teammates involved (which has happened, and has worked before), we’ll be in good shape.
if kobe shows up and plays team basketball, and plays the defense he’s known to be able to play, we’ll have problems.

a little lovedrunk over the amazing start the suns (largely due to the energy and hustle of guys like dudley) have had this season. dudley is playing his way into my heart as one of my favorite players on this team, and i love what he does for the team…but to say that he can be as effective as raja was is still a long shot. we will see, though.

I don't know about that
I think Bells reputation was a bit over sized. Tough? Sure. But he never really stopped Kobe. The best I’ve ever seen on Kobe is Batier.
I think Dudley has a shot of doing well on him. He’s active. Aggressive. Pesky. Bigger than Kobe. And like Bell works hard on ball denial.
A lot will depend on how tight they call it. Dudley will get right up into him and Kobe will try and drive and there will be contact. If they are calling that on JD it will be hard. Otherwise, JD and force him towards help and make Kobe pull up and shoot.
As has been said over and over. You don’t stop Kobe. You just make him work hard for his points and Dudley can do that.
Hill and JRich are both different looks. I think between the three of them we have better options than we’ve had in years. Marion and Bell were good but there was no third option.

It takes 3 years to figure out a rookie and Clark is the kind of guy with those skills that can show a lot of improvement between yrs 1 and 2.

I have a feeling he's going to be really good
He’s shown very promising flashes – he looks like he’s rushing everything right now. There will come a point where the game slows down for him and he’ll be able to show us what he’s really made of.
At least that is what I’m hoping. Let’s not forget that AG is really sticking to his preseason projections – that Clark is REALLY going to have to fight for his minutes.

Hes a rookie!
Give him time to bloom, he does show a lot of potential in my opinion, and hes playing along side a lot of All-Stars. He probably won’t get many minutes, unless its a night like last night though. He’ll progress just like our other rookies have in the past!

I was between Lawson and Clarke.
I just loved the idea of Lawson as a 4 yr starter at a top program. You can really see that he was ready to play. Clarke is still raw, but he has some good defensive instincts.

Bandwagon fans
I personally am sorry that the bandwagon fans, probably none of whom are here, have already come back. Does anyone remember Paola Boivin’s column defending bandwagon fans? It claimed that they simply are more demanding than non-bandwagon fans. Personally, I laughed at that idea and laughed at Boivin for suggesting it.
The explanation I would not not laugh at is that many viewers (not necessarily fans) feel the Suns have let them down too many times, that those viewers have lost patience, probably in the early 2000s. Before the Nash era, the last promising thing was Backcourt 2000—which was ultimately proven to be a mirage, perhaps even nothing but a marketing ploy.

Not sure if Suns fans hate Shaq
but regardless the Suns are a much better and more dangerous team now and I think they are probably better than the team that almost beat the Spurs. I saw the Suns game yesterday and Nash seems to be back to his old self. Honestly, I expected Paul to play better yesterday.

Hey, now kids...
One, let’s make our Laker friend welcome until he or she does something that warrants otherwise…
And two, let’s please refrain from the use of the phrase “deep D#$%ing” for the rest of the night.
From the Community Guidelines:
Profanity: So, you slipped up and said “shit” when “crap” would have sufficed. It’s OK. It happens. Please don’t let it happen frequently. Feel free to make liberal use of ampersands, pound signs, and asterisks if you must quote someone’s profanity laced post-game tirade. This isn’t a place for the faint of heart but there’s no need to be overly profane. There is no hard and fast rule here but like porn, we know it when we see it and by it we mean too much or improper use of profanity.
Thanks!

Kobe on Shaq (2003) - "But this is his team, so it's time for him to act like it. That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court.....no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. Also, "my team" doesn't mean only when we win; it means carrying the burden of defeat just as gracefully as you carry a championship trophy."

Why I got banned from Celtics blog
I mentioned something as to the fact that it was “ironic” how they finally admitted the KG was out for the playoffs after their playoff tickets were sold out. As a matter of fact it was the very next day. This is what it says when I go on there. Trip out on the name “TROLL” still cracks me up:
You are banned from CelticsBlog.

As usual, Bynum is beasting us
Our defense is atrocious, and Amare isn’t playing smart.
Somehow we’re in single digits!
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."

Coach put it on Amare’s shoulders tonight and he’s a little tight. He hasn’t played “dumb” per se. Just a little recklessly aggressive in spots.

Didn't bynum take 3 steps?
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."

They rolled over against the Magic, but I hope that was a one time deal.
