Anybody see Brent Barry ripping on John Schuhmann for his NBA.com power rankings?
Mostly because the Suns were #1 on his list?
Not that I necessarily agree with them being #1, but i’m sure he would have been ok with it if the Spurs and their 2-3 record were in the top 5 instead.

Frye needs to watch out
he cant get too comfy with that 3. He’ll start to depend on it and it’ll really hurt the days it dont work. He needs to play more inside. Right now, everyone knows he’s going to be out there. Teams are going to play him based on that. He needs to focus more on the paint and the glass than the arc.

Rodney Carney is one of the fastest players in the league?
Why does every team think they have the fastest player in the league? It seems like every team we play, the other teams announcers like to compare one of their players to Barbosa as far as speed.

I put the struggle down to Philly hitting everything and we’re hitting not much. We’re gonna have these nights though.
Hopefully we’ll pick it up in the 3rd but if we don’t, meh. The season isn’t built on this one game.
by keify34 on Nov 9, 2009 5:57 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
Have to credit the Philly D
They’re picking pockets, cutting off passing lanes and denying the paint. Jumpers aren’t falling for the Suns, hence the ugly start.
By the way, now might be a good time for Alvin Gentry to come up with some kind of back-to-back offense the Suns can go to to help the old guys.

UGLY. We look tired and there doesn’t look to be any of the hustle we’ve already grown accustomed to this season.
We’re losing out on rebounds we should be winning, loose balls are going to Philly and even the wild shots that Philly are throwing up are going in. Just plain UGLY.

Well kinda say the letdown coming
I know it’s only halftime, but this just had the feel of a letdown game. Still happy with the road trip overall though.

cant knock the trip
we did say we expected to come home 3-2. We just expected those losses to come from Orlando and Boston. Beating Boston shouldnt be an excuse to lose this one. We should be winning this game.
Dudes need to spend the half taking a quick nap or something.

A list of things to do for the second half:
Deny Philly penetration.
Hustle. Hustle. Hustle.
Go more to J-Rich.
Go more to Grant.
But like Turamba says, we’re disappointed because we’re 3-2 on this trip rather than 4-1. I never thought that would have happened, so overall I’m still happy.
It’s been a great start to the season.

Whats up doc?
by RottPhiler on Nov 9, 2009 6:16 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
Came in at the end of the 1st quarter
Thoughts:
1) On both ends, the Suns look a step slow…
2) …unless Nash is finding them for an easy bucket. 9 first half dimes is not too shabby…
3) … unless paired with 4 turnovers. I’ll take it though.
4) Philly is simply on fire. I’m hoping those jumpers don’t continue to fall…
5) …and the Suns defensive effort picks up. Can’t just give away open looks.
I have a feeling Gentry is going to give a “2nd game of back-to-backs are no excuse” halftime speech. Because 8 games in, the Suns need to decide if this is how it’s going to be or if they can find a way to get crafty and gut these games out.
by Mike Lisboa on Nov 9, 2009 6:16 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
I’m still confident that Philly won’t continue to shoot the lights out in the 2nd half. They’ll start missing jumpers, so we’ve gotta force them to take more and drive less.
Oh and the thing none of us have mentioned- Amare. He needs to step it up in a big way.
by keify34 on Nov 9, 2009 6:18 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
agreed, Amare looks clueless out there.
by Larfleeze on Nov 9, 2009 6:21 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
I know this is borderline irrelevant right now but I think a few of these types of games together with a handful of losses and we’ll see where Amare’s head is really at. Personally, I feel like if we don’t win at least 55 games and compete in 95% of them, he’ll be off.
by keify34 on Nov 9, 2009 6:25 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
they won’t stop hitting unless we make it harder for them… it reminds me of last 4 years when some teams would look like champions on us, scoring 120 on our D
by zeze_999 on Nov 9, 2009 6:21 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly
Their FG% – 26/43 – 0.605 is way higher than usual…Its just a hot shooting half from Philly, a couple of adjustments here and there and I bet it’ll come back to normal…. :-)

More on Amar'e
The hesitation at the elbow bothers me a little, but the pause and re-group method helped him get a couple of nice deuces in the paint just now. He’s thinking more.

we play “score point more” in this one, rather than “allow point less”… I’ll take W in any case, but we need to change our mentality…

by RottPhiler on Nov 9, 2009 6:38 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
Disagree
He should have shot as soon as he received the ball instead of hesitating. Of course, then he goes and bombs away and misses. But he should have the green light until his shot falls off (49% this season).

True
But you gotta let shooters shoot. Also, no way he keeps up 49% on the year.
by Mike Lisboa on Nov 9, 2009 6:45 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah but you're right
If he gets it, shoot immediately, but if he has to hesitate to get better looks he’s better off passing back to Nash…

If they’re going to put Amar’e in with the second line, this needs to be worked on in practice. Dragic is a big enough offensive threat to make this very potent weapon.

Schuhmann has us as number 1.
Who would have thought we would be #1 in the Power Rankings two weeks into the season? Now, we are considered, “The Team to Beat” by many people’s standards.
Damnit!
This scares me. We are already getting media attention, and way too soon in my opinion. I thought we were going to have the luxury of being a dark horse this season. These guys have been playing great flying under the radar, and the fickle media is warming up to us way way way too soon. Number 1 in the Power Rankings? Does Schuhmann really think we are a contender?? Whoa, whoa, whoa, lets slow down a minute. I don’t want anybody setting their expectations too high. I still do not think we can hang with the heavyweights. Especially in a 7 game series. I don’t want our boys feeling too much pressure.
I will be at the Suns/Lakers Game this Thursday. I might get my ass kicked if the Suns pull this one out…Gasol and Bynum will both most likely be in uniform for this game. This game is going to be a true test….and a very hard game to win…we better be on fire.

It will be a very difficulty game — and more so than normal since the Lakers will be sitting on three days rest and we will be coming off a game the night before with the quick, elusive Hornets. The dam NBA league office did that to us last year too if I remember right (the first away game against Lakers was 2nd half of back to back games).
I am thinking about writing a post about what I expect strategically in Thursday’s game. Of course, we as fans definitely will not overlook the Hornets.

I agree man...I love being under the radar!
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."

Question is
Will bad teams play us harder because we appear average and they can smell a win, or will bad teams play us harder because they think we’re the Lakers and want the challenge? Or will bad teams simply fold because they think they know they don’t have a chance because people are hot on us and we’re hot on ourselves?
Don’t have to worry about the good teams. The Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Magic are going to play us hard no matter what our record is or what others say about us. When we play the Lakers, I think we’d get their best game whether we’re 82-0 or 0-82.
Fanaticism is not logical
