Next Stop - Milwaukee. Phoenix Suns Face Bucks, 6:30 AZ Time

Let's get one thing straight, the Phoenix Suns - they are #Winning!
Despite a good, bad, and ugly loss all wrapped in Tuesday's game against the vengeful Boston Celtics, the Phoenix Suns are in Milwaukee to play the Bucks riding a well timed surge. The Suns are 4-1 (.800) since the All-Star break, 11-4 (.733) in their last 15 games, they have won 5 of their last 6 road games, and they have won 7 of their last 10 games against teams with winning records.
Tuesday's loss in Boston was 'good' because of what the bench accomplished for the 2nd time in two games. They carried the team when the starters were playing horribly and are really starting to develop a unique identity much like our bench squad of last year did after the All-Star break. Aaron Brooks dropped a team high 17 and added 7 assists while Jared Dudley dropped 15 and was everywhere, Marcin Gortat had 13 and 13 for yet another double-double and the bench championed an 18-0 run that forced the Boston starters back into the game...But the 'bad' part was that the same 18-0 run was nullified by a deficit that started at 11 points after the first quarter - jumped to 20 at the half - and peaked at 29 at one point in the 3rd. It was too little too late. The 'ugly' came in the form of the Boston players on the floor and the Boston head coach in the post game interviews. It was Kevin Garnett openly jawing at Alvin Gentry and the Suns bench in the final seconds of the game (and receiving a technical foul for it), it was Paul Pierce blatantly mocking Channing Frye after a fast break dunk (and receiving a technical foul for it), and it was Rajon Rondo disrespectfully shooting a 3-point shot with a 10-point lead as time was expiring (and getting fouled hard by Jared Dudley for it).
Did we really expect a win? If you were slightly delusional like me and sort of did expect a win... you need to sober up like I have. How did I sober up you ask? I closed my eyes and made is so with the power of my mind.
But maybe I still am under the influence, because after the game I saw something akin to a fire burning in an ice-cavern, a light shinning from a veil of darkness, a lamb laying with a lion - it was this positive Tweet from our own Scott Howard.
I basked for a moment in the glory of such a positive take-away considering the source - and then I realized I am on a drug. It's called Eutychus. It's not available, because if you try it once, you will die and your children will weep over your exploded body. Too much? Jump it then fools and lets talk about the Bucks.
Match-Ups
Channing Frye - Jon Brockman
*I'm assuming VC will start - though he did look as though he might have suffered a stroke and/or a stage-mach-5 concussion after colliding with Channing Frye on Tuesday and receiving a 'mouth laceration'... so we'll see.
Key Bucks Subs: Earl Barron (Yes - that Earl Barron), Corey Maggette, Earl Boykins, Keyon Dooling, Chris Douglas-Roberts
Milwaukee Injuries: Andrew Bogut (Left intercostal muscle strain), Drew Gooden (Left foot plantar fasciitis), Ersan Illyasova (Concussion), Michael Redd (Left ACL/MCL), Luc Mbah a Moute (Flu-like symptoms - day 2 day).
Suns Injuries: Vince Carter? Channing Frye?
Actually - team physician's assistant (not really) Grant Hill tweeted last night an encouraging status report on Channing Frye and his recovery from the collision with Carter,
Attached was this photo -
Needless to say... I think he'll be fine.
Brandon Jennings
This awesome painting of Brandon Jennings was created by dpwatson aka wattdogg10 - one of our very own staff writers who is an amazing artist and accomplishes his works of art because he has tigers blood and Adonis DNA. Check out his portfolio and his other masterpieces at his website here.
When it comes to his play - Brandon Jennings is picking up steam after suffering a broken foot that set him back for a large chunk of the season so far. But now he is healthy - but the typical problem of young players he suffers from is consistency and execution down the stretch in games. Over the Bucks last 5 games - Jennings has played well against other sub-par teams, posting a 27 point, 7 assist, 3 steal game against the Timberwolves and a 21-4-2 game against the Pistons. But in games against tougher competition - Jennings is struggling significantly, he made only 2 of 6 and had 3 turnovers against Chicago and went a paltry 1-11 from the field with 4 personal fouls in 27 minutes against the Nuggets.
Steve Nash and the Suns should easily be able to contain Jennings for the second time this season - he went 2 for 10 for 6 points in their first meeting.
Rebounding and Execution
The scouting report from my armchair here is simple for this game. This is one of those should be #winning games. We know that earlier this year these games were still very scary - and even on this road-trip our wins against the Nets and the Pacers were too close for comfort... but here's the deal - Andrew Bogut is out, again.
Last time we saw the Bucks - they looked absolutely horrendous offensively (shooting only 31.1%) and we out-rebounded them like a gazillion to none (more like 54-39). We must win the rebounding battle and execute on offense.
I won't say it's absolutely necessary for tonight's game... but our starting unit REALLY needs to start pulling things together again. For 2 games in a row they have looked drained, tired, and just flat-out bad offensively.
The Bucks are short-handed and struggling - we on the other hand are healthy and rolling. Especially our bench.
BENCH MOB IS BACK
Is it premature to say that the bench is back? That it has developed it's own identity and poses just as much of threat as our starting unit? If you look at our bench production since the All-Star break I can say that with confidence.
Already on the season our bench was producing good numbers... but since the break? WOW.
Before the break the bench's scoring average = 39.2
After the break? 53.8 ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Not at all.
That's all folks - let's get this win and enjoy a capstone game in OKC before our boys come back to the desert. We've got to finish up this already successful road-trip strong with a couple of wins.
GO SUNS!

I suppose the Hammer wouldn't really like to have crap on him
But nontheless he will have to consider planting a few shuddering blows on the puny bucks…
I imagine this is a game in which our double-headed monster should thrive. Anything less than 30-20-3 split between Gortat and Lopez will be a dissapointment.
I would also like the Suns to establish an inside game early. Brockman + Sanders don’t seem to be even an avarage frontline so we should try killing it in the paint. I imagine penetrations from Hill/Peaches/Duds would help vs. shooting a ton of threes right from the start.
All in all I imagine some rest for the starters in this game – especially for Steve and Grant. Hope Brooks continues to improve his understanding of the Suns offense and that we start playing better team defense – the starters played very poorly also on defensive end against Boston. It mostly comes down on Nash/Lopez/Carter…
Let’s get it on!

unfortunately for Gortat
Bogut will miss the game again. Gortat really wants another change at Bogut after completely flubbing the first time (Bogut had 30+ points, 20+ rebs) when the hammer was still with Orlando.
Blogging Suns Basketball at Bright Side of the Sun
I take a win over Gortat's well being ;)
And I believe it’s too early for vengeance on Bogut. In form, he would still own the Hammer…

Very true...
Bogut is probably still a bit more than Gortat can chew at the moment. Give him until next season playing this amount of minutes with us, and we may have a pretty good match-up though.
From where I stand, Gortat is very much in Bogut's league
Bogut is about 15/14/2, and he’s an excellent defender, anchoring the Bucks very good defense.
Well… Gortat is about 15/11/1.5, and he’s an excellent defender, anchoring the Suns very good defense.
He’s not above him, but he’s def in his wheelhouse.
Suns v Spurs in the 1st round. Make this happen.
Bogut killed Gortat when they were matched head to head
Gortat seemed soooooo lost in that game. He was always overhelping on the high pick and roll and that ALWAYS resulted in Bogut ending up with a wide open dunk.
It's not the numbers.
It’s what he did to the Hammer.
He killed him 1-on-1.
He outsmarted him defensively.
He outplayed him on the boards…
Numbers don’t matter – we play just 2 games against Bucks so overall numbers don’t show the difference between them.

great preview!
I’m looking forward to this game to watch 2 of my favorite teams, Planet Orange and Planet Purple: the starters, led by Steve Nash and Grant Hill, and the bench mob, led by Brooks, Duds and Gortat.
I really hope Gentry goes back to last year’s ways of letting the hot hands ride out the end of the game.

Man, I'm still so pissed at the Celtics
I couldn’t even stand to wear my black and green Pumas today, even though they went perfectly with the outfit I had on. Had to change my shirt and now wearing my purple “Valley of the Sun” Vans instead. :)
I remember seeing a sweet pair of orange/purple kicks at Champs or Finish Line.
I think they were adidas and they had every big-name team’s color available (Lakers, Celtics, Magic, Suns, etc.). I just had to get them until I saw the price tag and the giant hole in my wallet.

Gortat!
should be starting! i dont care what anyone says! your suppose to put your best 5 on the court to start and its clear that while robin lopez is stinkin it up gortat is producing double doubles.
not necessarily true...
Look at what Jarron Collins provided in the playoffs last year… Enough defense for about 6 minutes to eat up some game clock and tire out the opposing center… Seemed to work quite well actually and he was by no means part of the “best 5”… But I agree that Gortat is a beast. I just think that you shouldn’t mess with a good thing. Robin has his moments and Gortat is a lot for a bench unit to handle, so when he comes in he can be game changing…
to receive the maximum effect of the two-headed monster, Rolo needs to keep starting...
that’s when he’s most effective— at the beginning of games (kinda like GHill, thoughsince Rolo is only half BAMF’s age it doesn’t make a lot of sense). Anyway, Gortat is always ready and always solid and gets the majority of minutes anyway, and is a double-double machine.

I don't think Childress
unless its as the 4th wing if people get in foul trouble. He just doesn’t space the floor enough.
The question is whether Duds or Peaches starts.

Apparently Peaches is starting
Also according to Coro twitter (same tweet…you’re dropping the ball Laugan). You think they just shorten up the rotation instead of give Chilly time? I tend to disagree but I’ve been wrong 7 times before.

“I was bangin’ seven-gram rocks and finishing them because that’s how I roll, because I have one speed, one gear. I survived because I’m me. I’m different. I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man. Dying’s for fools, dying’s for amateurs.”
It seems that he will be available against OKC though.

Suns v Spurs in the 1st round. Make this happen.
The #winning part made me laugh so hard.
I had a dream last night that I saw Vince Carter outside some store sitting on a bench. He was out of his mind saying the weirdest stuff. Supposedly, after the incident at Boston he never fully recovered and became crazy. I hope that doesn’t happen.
Let’s go Suns! Hopefully the bench can do work again tonight. I’m sick of my dad bashing Nash cause everytime he watches the game is when Nash is playing horrible/

the hobbit is coming out this summer.
i’m excited. my g/f hates when those movies come on because she thinks its dorky to watch them and I love them. To hell with her! (figuratively:)
yeah
I like the movies better than my teen kids do. They didn’t grow up on Narnia.
At least they’re into HP – loved that series. Movies too. Can’t wait for the second half of #7 this summer.
Blogging Suns Basketball at Bright Side of the Sun
and as far The Hobbit is concerned
is it made by the same guy that did the Lord of the Rings movies? Peter Jackson?
Blogging Suns Basketball at Bright Side of the Sun
you mean "Sir" Peter Jackson?
haha, yes it is… It should be good… I’m hoping that it is treated more like a prequel to the first three, kinda like the Star Wars movies… If it is more of a stand alone movie it would be disappointing…
Yes it's Peter Jackson. Awesome
If you haven’t read the book, it could either be done as a prequel or stand-alone. There’s about 80 years between the two. I also hope it’s a prequel, sorta like Godfather 2. Bilbo was pretty young when he took the precioussss from Gollum. He kept it for many years. Then his young nephew Frodo shows up and so on. The ring bearers all had extra long lives. (Oh dear, here I go!)
I'm pretty sure they have already done all of the casting...
It looks like there is quite a bit of carry-over (i Just saw this today when I saw it was finally coming out), so it will probably be like a prequel… Bilbo is going to be much portrayed much younger, it looks like its martin freeman…
That's funny because I actually really like the Horse and His Boy
too bad people probably agree like you and that’s why they didn’t make the movie…

i keep hearing that gentry is reluctant to play chilly because he doesn't space the floor enough...
…but wasn’t he a decent three-point shooter when he was playing with atlanta and in greece? i know he’s got that unorthodox, marion-esque jump shot, but i thought i remembered he hit threes at about a 35% clip. i know that he had the broken finger to start the season, but that should be healed by now…
Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."
~Jack Burton, "Big Trouble in Little China"
part of the requirement for proper spacing
is taking enough 3-pt shots. He made 35% but on very low volume, and this season he hasn’t made a single one I don’t think. So, he’s not a threat, which means his presence does not create spacing on the part of the defense. They can cheat off him and he won’t make them pay.
Blogging Suns Basketball at Bright Side of the Sun
Yep. You beat me to it, Alex.
He only averages taking 1 per game for his career. So, for his career, he averages scoring 1 PPG on 3s. Defenses aren’t worried about that.

Yeah, but ...
… do we need all of our wings to bring the same perimeter shooting game? Don’t we have room for a slasher, tipper, lay-up under the rim guy like Chil? Marion was at best OK from outside but a very effective all round player with his athleticism. I don’t see Chil having that kind of upside but he has some pretty effective skills, doesn’t he? I accept that he probably won’t play any time soon for continuity and chemistry reasons. I just wonder if his style would be that problematic. For example couldn’t he play with Frye as the main outside threat?
hasn't made one out of what? 7 attempts?
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
Yeah, I Twitter - @Eutychus12
Saying that we cannot play Childress because he can't shoot threes
is absurd. In Grant Hill’s first year as a sun he shot 30 percent on threes on 1 attempt a game. He was not a three point shooter, yet we still played 30 minutes a game for his slashing, defense and energy.This is exactly what Chilldress does. In his last year in atlanta he averaged 12 points and 5 boards a game with 57 % shooting. In his time for the suns he provided the same hustle plays, slashing to the basket and rebounding. Considering that Hill is 38 years old, why can’t Chilldress alleviate some of BAMF’s stress.
As a sidenote, Hill is shooting 40 percent from three this year on one attempt. Considering that his career three point % is 31%, this is an impressive leap that can be attributed to playing in the sun’s system. Childress shoots 35 % from three for his career, so it is not a stretch to believe that, like Hill, his shooting % from three will increase with time in the Suns system.
by gophoenixsuns on Mar 4, 2011 3:03 PM MST up reply actions
Hill has a great medium range jump shot...
..and Hill has classic form and puts it up fast with his shot, Childress doesn’t, there is no comparison between the two, Childress outside shot looks like a one handed 1950’s set shot, his form is unique and crippling, his FG’s are mainly layups.

choice, but I am cheering for NO as they are more easily passable and I would like to see the Suns get 7th over 8th. But, that can backfire.
Anyway, the way these 2 teams are playing right now, I would be surprised if this game is even close.
At this point, we gotta win these "should win" games.
There’s been a lot of optimism around here lately, including from me, but this team can’t afford to F around more with losing to weaker teams. There simply isn’t enough time left to recover from any more of those. So, I’m filing this game in the, “you’d better damn well win it” category.

Well you can still respect those that you hate.
Even if that hate is entirely irrational, but quite pleasing.
Eric's list of freakin' demands:
1. Jordana Brewster, freakin' marry me.
2. Steve Nash, sign my freakin' jersey and win a freakin' championship already.
3. All powerful being that may/may not have been responsible for the creation of our universe, please just freakin' remove the atrocities known as the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers from the NBA. I'm freakin' serious.
4. BSotS, stop freakin' hating on Vince Carter. It's freakin' stupid and it needs to freakin' stop.
look at his clutch stats
he’s one of the most clutch players in the game…unlike Kobe
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."
I don't think you can call what the Heat did last night "clutch".
They’re one of the better defensive teams in the league, yet they allowed the Magic to go on a 18-0 run. So their offense must be pretty atrocious to not be able to score for a 6 minute stretch.

Didn't the Celtics let some other team go on an 18-0 run?

The corpses didn't play.
I assume you’re referring to the 2 O’Neals.

not to mention:
he basically gave up in the eastern semis against boston last year
Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."
~Jack Burton, "Big Trouble in Little China"
I wonder if Earl Barron will be UP for this game
against his old team. The beast has awoken! Tremble, puny mortals!
Suns v Spurs in the 1st round. Make this happen.
You know how we make bad teams look really good and revive player’s careers even if they aren’t on our team do you think there’s a chance that happens to Barron?
Don't trade Dudley!
If we lose tonight due to Earl Barron going off on us.
Then I will probably give up hope of making the playoffs. Seriously.

I remember rooting for atlanta few years ago just to make the playoffs
Jchill is good those days, not the kobe type, or LBJ, but there is something about him. I miss it. hopefully tonight he will play regardless if it is a blowout or not
the platinum rule
NO Gasol, NO Shaq equals NO Championship.
It's nice to see someone supporting the Suns in a city where they don't have a basketball team.
Like Vegas. I saw this really hot girl driving a really nice Mercedes with a MASSIVE Phoenix Suns sticker on her back window. I gave her a thumbs up at the stoplight and she just smiled. Now that I think of it, she probably had no idea why I gave her a thumbs up cause I never mentioned the Suns…oops.

P.S
We need to win tonight and for the Memphis to lose. If it all goes well, we’ll be one game from tying with Memphis!

So I'm watching the AIA 5A div II finals game right now
And I can’t help but wonder if the reason all these young guards keep licking their fingers after every play is because they watch Steve Nash here in AZ…
Steve Nash, “I am a role model…”
Just a thought

No wonder they get sick.
If Grant Hill, Dudley, Frye or anyone on this team catches the flu I’m blaming Nash.
Don't trade Dudley!
This is why they need Alando Tucker.
Make it happen, Babs.

Not so happy about VC going down..
I think we might see that he is actually missed…
As for the floor spacing with Chil, I think a big part of the issue is him playing with second unit, because we already have Hak and Gortat who are not floor spacers….so he was the odd man out, when AG or the FO, decided to stay with HAK (presumably because they felt he was a better 4).
I can see that they would be somewhat concerned to play him with the starters.
Hey Euty!
What are you doing up so late?
