Dodged a bullet in taking the 1st half, although this game isn't over yet.

Ultimately I figured if the Suns choke, it'll be down the stretch. Was pretty certain they'd come out strong, and again they led by 14 and couldn't maintain. Sir Charles was right in saying two games in a row they should've been leading by DD at half..

Hey Nash,

diogee · 04-22-08, 10:33 PM

Already doing hack a Shaq...wow
But yeah they are chokers.

SBR Lou · 04-22-08, 10:36 PM

Guys I think it has more to do with being out coached than anything else..

Two games in a row they've been up 14 or more, yet SA always finds a way to take the air out of the balloon. Like leaving Ginobli wide open for a 3 to end the first Q when the second unit was in.... that's poor coaching or just a bubblehead decision on the players part.... They can't give him looks like that. So they go into 2Q down 9 instead of 12, little things like that over and over again.

Shaq too, you'd think the guy would practice free throws sometime.

mathdotcom · 04-22-08, 10:56 PM

Please tell me why Shaq is worth anything. I'm not a basketball player/expert/anything, but all he does is stand by the hoop and plop balls in without even having to jump. How can any b-ball player so pathetic on free throws? After warming up for 15-20 mins even I can break 50%

He was effective in the 1st half, Suns came to play and were confident the 1st 24 minutes. Then, in usual SA fashion esp at home, they make some adjustments and put a defensive clinic on. Suns have 2pts the first what 8 minutes of the 2h? That's inexcusable..

I wasn't watching very closely having already cashed the 1H but how in the hell do you score 2 points in that many minutes, with that explosive offensive?

Panic · 04-22-08, 11:40 PM

How do you think Suns management and fans are feeling having that huge albatross around their neck for the next 3 years?(That being Shaq) His salary will stop them from getting any quality talent any time soon.

FreeFall · 04-23-08, 12:02 AM

I'd love to play too if I never had to play defense and no-one ever held my feet to the fire for it. The biggest travesty I can ever think of in sports is Stevie Wonder being labeled "Most Valuable Player" not once, but twice by this league. Said it before -will say it again - the guy couldn't guard my grandmother in a locked closet.

You're right but when you need points and that offense is clicking, there's no one else you want shooting the ball. Aside from Amare pounding it in or taking a jumper of his own. I can't get pissed at Nash because I've won more first and second half wagers than I've lost w/ Phx and he always has a hand in it. He is what he is.

ChuteBoxe · 04-23-08, 12:59 AM

D'Antoni is a horrible coach, Diaw is garbage, and so is Grant Hill's D. But am I the only one that thinks the Suns take the next 2 in Phoenix? I just have a weird feeling.

Probably not the only one - considering they'll be a fave in both....and it's great for Mr. Stern's TV ratings.

diogee · 04-23-08, 01:07 AM

This series will go at least 6 games...no way the Suns choke away those large leads at home.

Highly doubtful, this team has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. Everyone likes to believe the Suns are a great team b/c of their offense, but the problem is they are identical to the Denver Nuggets, they outscore shit teams and get beat by any team with talent. At some point you need to play D to hold on to a lead you create, you can't just depend on shooting 60% like they did in the 1st Half to keep you ahead, eventually you are going to go on a cold streak (and when the Suns get cold its a fukin glacier cold I mean a 2 pts in 8 mins cold) and the other team is going to play normal and overtake you. The fact is Denver/GSW/Phoenix all offense no defense teams will never win a championship b/c they would need to make everything for every fuking series they play and it's just not possible, defense truly does win championships and the Spurs are proving that every single game, it doesn't matter how little you score just as long as you outscore your opponent.
