they shot the ball 33 times compared to our 48. That is quite a big difference for a half of basketball
i think suns will only score 118...they are going to come back down to earth...i beleive it will be a close game at the end
This is actually EXTREMELY frustrating. If you look at our stats, we are having a damn good game 2 turnovers in a HALF? 47 percent is never bad. T-Mac's getting to the line (yes, shooting 68 percent from free-throw, but at least getting there gets the suns in foul trouble/us in bonus). It just sucks. 2 turnovers?! I had to refresh my screen to double check that it is true. This game will most likely BE OURS. We have taken FIFTEEN MORE shots than them!! That's never a good stat (even though it's mainly due to them scorching us). This one just sucks. They just need to not be discouraged, and somehow pray that they cool off. Geez.
Maybe we will break a record and be the 1st team in league history to foul out every one of our players because we are so lazy we just want to slap at the ball instead of manup.
so we cant beat a stacked suns team with yao down, big shock for any1? I am glad we are playing well , and still think there are postives if we play a solid 2nd half.
only one team in today's NBA that will score 150 and their city is Denver, lol. They are crazy. 168 in 4 quarters.
Just today I looked at all the schedules !! NO has a really tough schedule coming up and so does Phoenix !! LA has a wussy schedule left so I think they will lock up that # 1 seed. The Rockets schedule is not too bad after tonight, yes we have a few tough games left on the road but we also have some sorry teams on our schedule..... We will make the playoffs !!
Man this hurts! Suns fans are basically laughing at us; who can blame them. This game demonstrates that the Suns are simply way more skilled. The refs haven't helped, but we haven't helped ourselves. Hayes, Scrubola, Mutumbo, and Alston have chosen the worst time to play like high schoolers.
I appreciate your "honesty" with saying they are stacked. lol. ur not exactly living up to ur name, though (hopeful). we are IN this game, believe it or not (hard to believe because we are down so much). we can beat this team. if they shoot 70 percent for the whole game, then hell, our streak would have ended tonight had it continued through yesterday, lol.
We need to run and gun up the court right now. Just turn into the Warriors or the old Suns. Get one athlete big man Either Woods or Landry at the 5, McGrady at the 4, Battier at the 3, Head at the 2, and Alston at the 1. Double team the big man. And bring shooters off the bench. Scola, Jackson, Novak. And a lil Harris.
Looking at what hornets did to the celtics in the 4th Quarter gives me hope. I believe we can pull this off. Get the lead to ~10 then 4th quarter is Tracy's time.
Sometimes I wonder what is going on with these guys. They win 22 tough games on the road playing gritty, hardnosed basketball and then they play like they are scared to break a nail. Even Battier is getting screened and losing his man.
