Predicted Player of the Game
This is kind of a tough one. I think Nash and JRich will have their hands full with Gordon, Stuckey and Bynumite. Hill hasn't been shooting well and will be facing two young defenders in Jerebko and Daye that are both really tall. I could go with Amare against Ben Wallace and CNuv or Frye to have a good shooting night at home but I think I am feeling a little Barbosa tonight. Not exactly sure why but at home in a change of pace kind of way I see LB having a solid game.
Pregame Coaches Notes:
- Coach Kuester said Charlie VNuv will cover Frye
- Austin Daye only played a couple of minutes last night in Utah but he's not injured. Coach K said he's still learning about what he's supposed to be doing
- Gentry said it doesn't mean a thing that the Pistons played an OT game the night before...that's one of those things coaches say. Of course Ben Wallace playing 43 minutes last night makes a difference
- Suns will play some zone but Gentry would prefer to be able to match-up man-to-man
- Pistons locker room note says to run against the Suns. They will often use a 3 guard line-up so and are smaller than Phoenix so look for an up-tempo game
- Gentry talked about wanting to have his team use runs to build or extend leads and not have to use that to claw back
[Note by Phoenix Stan, 11/22/09 5:50 PM MST ]
I asked the guys from Motown String Music why Jonas Jerebko was starting over Austin Daye...here's the answer:
Jerebko is the better defender than Daye and I think that's why he has been starting over Daye. Jerebko is one of those guys who never seems to stop running around, constantly being a pest, and causing problems on defense. I think he complements Big Ben nicely and compensates for what Charlie V lacks on defense. While Daye is long, he moves slow laterally and can't defend guys in the post like Jerebko has shown he can.

Not good -
the Piston’s make a run – lets see how we respond.. I wouldn’t call it terrible just yet rsavaj.
Let’s not get extreme – we haven’t hit anything and JRich was fouled at least 20 times under the basket for the no call

So we still arne't coming out with intensity?
And the only reason why Detroit isn’t winning is because they are worse than we are as far as emotion is concerned?

that’s what Frye said….Dragic wore them for the first time the other day. I think in the Toronto game.

Great end to the First half!!!
Smells good – I really like what I saw with Nash and Dragic in the game – it was super collapse time with both of them on the floor – Nash drives once, the D drops down – he dishes to Dragic, they collapse even further cuz he’s shown the ability to bust to the rim, then he kicks it out to a wide-open whoever!! I want more.
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
What
Dragic may lack in mental stability at this point – or one-on-one ball handling ability he makes up for a bit with his great vision and excellent passing- So to have both Nash and Dragic who can make things work offensively in a half-court and blow shii up on the break in at the same time is a definite match-up problema for opposing teams!
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
Since Nash is one of the best shooters in the history of the game
I really like having him work off-ball. We should be able to take advantage of his shooting ability a bit more w/ Dragic out there…I’m loving the two PG lineup. We used to run three guards out there in the 90s w/ KJ, Kidd and Nash, and a lot of teams are playing two PGs this season(lawson/billups, blake/miller, felton/augustine, etc)

That year in Dallas, when Nash played with Nick Van Exel, was one of the best of his career..

one aspect of our game that is brushing the off-season dust the slowest.. It’s good to see us shooting well tonight
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
I guess the Amare aspect is coming around pretty slowly too - but that was expected

This R U ORNG commercial where we're just staring at Amare staring at us?
Wow. That’s not really enticing me to go to a game. I miss the 04/05 promos…Marion running up and down the bleachers, Nash shooting FTs, Joe Johnson dribbling crosscourt over and over I think. I don’t remember what Q was doing, and they showed Amare rebounding(lol!)
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."
Good to hear the coaching staff lit into the guys at halftime even with a 16 point lead

Great game so far!
hey what’s up guys, I’m a die-hard fan from California, currently going to college in Atlanta though. I’ve been following this blog for a long time now and I finally decided I want to join in all the orange fun! We’ve really played a great game all around so far (except for maybe the turnovers) and I can’t wait for the second half!

I understand posting Rich and the smaller defenders
But dude thinks he’s Kobe out there. And he’s not.

what do mean?
usually he does a pretty good job posting up smaller defenders. Ben Wallace was camped out in the lane for 7 seconds on that play
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
He generally does pretty well, but I think he gets a little too trigger-happy some times
His shot selection in general needs some work IMO. The end of the NO game is a good example I think.

Frye's drives are like Brad Miller's drives.
Except faster. And a lot less awkward. And generally more successful.
So I guess that they’re nothing like Brad Miller’s drives.

W-I-N
…is how I spell relief.
Good solid game, good defense, the starters were clicking and the bench chipped in their usual good effort. Frye’s Jekyll and Hyde/Home and Away shooting still concerns me; I guess it’s just gonna take time to get that confidence on the road. GG anyways.
Laker fan
Kudos to the Suns. Best record in the league. Playing very solid ball. I just don’t think you can match up with the Lakers. That first game head to head meant nothing. You guys had played 7 games in 10 days. Dec. will be your true test. If you pass that I will be surprised. Anything can happen in this game just ask the 81 and 86 Lakers. Both lost to an inferior Rockets team. And the Rockets went on to the finals both times only to loose to Boston! We’ll see!!!
