Did you

put the W next to the Washington on purpose? Are you trying to jinx us? :P

No, it's right.

This game is practically lose-proof, so expect the Suns to make it harder than they need to.

I hope

we run them off the floor and no one plays more than 30 minutes.

Washington is 29th in the league in defense! Even the Dubs are ahead of them!

We have been really good with bad teams since Alvin took over, so this one should be fine. It’s the Utahs and Portlands that worries me more.

Wow

it’s quiet in here. I know they’re playing a horrible team, but still.

A lousy way to end the first half,

good thing I’m the only one to notice.

this game is ugly

hope we can hold on and win this thing

Suns are sleepwalking

They know how bad the Wiz are, so they’re just coasting. The trouble is if you barely beat the Wizards, what makes you think you can beat Utah, Denver, and Portland?

Jrich

has been on fire lately, I hope he can carry it over to games against good teams.

+1

He has to step it up against good teams, hopefully his shot will continue falling

Gentry

must have given them a good speech. Now let’s get the 2nd unit some time.

by Hawk42 on Mar 21, 2009 9:56 PM MDT reply actions  

Yes Sir!!!

This is what I am talking about. For the first time in 5 years, we have a bench that is as good as many teams. You have Lopez, Dudley, Amundson/Swift, Dragic, and Tucker. Is there any reason why that unit can’t give the old guys a break for 6-8 minute stretches?

Thats' what I like about Gentry.

Boosting the bench players’ confidence. Dragic is a totally different player now.

by troglodytes on Mar 21, 2009 10:27 PM MDT up reply actions  

Amazing

Since it was 63-61 4 minutes into the third, , the Suns (mostly bench + Richardson) have outscored the Wiz by 65-35. Nice.

Thing about Stromile Swift

He actually has about the same physical gifts as Amare. I heard someone say he is as dumb as a post. They say intelligence is the ability to learn. What does that say about Amare?

comparison

JaVale McGee 16 points, 5 rebounds
Robin Lopez 5 points, 0 rebounds

Just sayin’

but McGee

played almost 18 minutes XD

by Azrael on Mar 21, 2009 10:36 PM MDT up reply actions  

And he plays those minutes every night...

He’s still the better player, but hard to compare them when Robin never gets any burn.

by hcblankscreen on Mar 21, 2009 10:38 PM MDT up reply actions  

I'm just saying

McGee was my first choice, Speights was my second, and then Kerr comes out and says Robin is better than his brother.

Good Win

Now lets beat Denver on Monday to catch a “good break”…… :D

Whats up doc?

by RottPhiler on Mar 21, 2009 11:21 PM MDT reply actions  

Did my good break theory catch on?!

Or you’re referring to something else? :P

by gadogry on Mar 22, 2009 6:48 AM MDT up reply actions  

I ALMOST called it!

Earlier this thread I said “I hope we run them off the floor and no one plays more than 30 minutes.”

We did run them off the floor, although they came back in the 2nd Q

And other than JRich, everybody played less than 30!

I wish Lopez got more than 6 mins of pratice time, but still, can’t complain about this win.
