    You are as good at interpreting what I asked you as you are understanding the game. I do not wish to argue with you, it is a waste of time for both of us. But i will leave it as this:

    If you weren't able to detect the obvious trend through out the game (drives to the basket/Successful Plays/Pacing the tempo), we can't communicate successfully. Maybe you missed it, but watch it again if you can.

    My only advice is, check the general consensus of the board, and their feelings about yours posts as well. They can't all truly be wrong since I am the r****d for pointing out your blatant ignorance.

    the suns were making shots that they usually make but missed in the 1st quarter. like the dallas game, the 1st quarter was a fluke. but we really need to fix the offense at the end of 2nd quarters, they usually are non existence.

    Hmmm...what else happened?!?!??!?!


    15-0 RUN while he was out, coupled with stupid plays and no penetrations to the basket.

    If brooks hadn't come in, WE WOULD BE DOWN RIGHT NOW.

    I think blowing big leads is more of a coaching problem; more time outs, more adjustments needed. Find a combination that works. But then again, sometimes nobody can hit anything. The Suns certainly turned up the defensive pressure.

    Our bench needs to step it up.

    Brooks is +12, chuck is +3, and our entire bench is negative, with lowry and landry at -9. Hopefully they will step up because they are the most crucial to this game.

    The problem also started when the Rockets stopped penetrating and just started shooting jump shots. They were doing fine when they were balancing the outside shots with the inside but towards the end all they were shooting were jump shots.

    It was pretty annoying.

    Contain Amare, and we win. Who can contain him? :confused:

    Actually, the problem was that they didn't try...even though their coach wanted them to.

    Brooks has had only 3 minutes of rest so far.. I wonder if that'll have a big effect if this goes down the wire

    the way we played tonight is so familiar, just like the game we lost to Kings.
    hopefully we could have a different outcome!!!

    I counted about 9 straight possessions of straight jumpshooting, especially 3s. When they drive, they have a better chance of going to the line and spacing the floor

    Good observation; seems like coaches could put a stop to that trend. Take it in!

    rox's games make me just like in a roller-coaster.
    hope this game will not follow the steps of that in dallas.

    while his shoot is hot, nobody could contain Amare except himself. :(

    In the dallas game, please excuse my language if you will, they blew their load in the first half.

    But rather than seeing this as a drawback, I am truly amazed at our potential, which was my biggest worry. This team will always play HARD, but I thought they would be starved for talent.

    As the season progresses I can see them being more stable and carrying the intensity, while managing effectively at the same time, from beginning to end.

    I'm not trying to have a Rex Ryan moment watching this team play.

    These guys going after it.
