they are down by 4 against Twolves at the moment (start of 4th) Lanki is hot 9pts, 4rebs and 3assists
They only lost by 2 to Garnett and the Timberwolves. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Suns go on a winning streak.
i was watching the suns on telemundo, and then it hit me: that team is just not that good. there is no reason why they should be ahead of us in the playoff race. they have 3 players, no bench (langhi gets consistent minutes) and no shot blocker. They've only gotten this far because of terrific play by marbury and marion. Stoudemire didnt do much today but miss half his freethrows and a lot of shots. he actually took a "jump shot" today, and bricked it badly. Hopefully they will continue to stay cold and keep losing those games.
Thank you to Toronto!!! I'm nervous about when Penny returns. They played pretty well for a while with him out, but it eventually just fell apart. I'm hoping his return does not get them back on track. In the meantime, we need to take care of our business. Getting into the playoffs is entirely in our hands. I think the Suns are a team much like the Rockets, with more veterans, but less chemistry. I wouldn't say we are really too much better than they are, talent-wise, but we have been together longer and should be able to overpower them . . .
I agree the Suns are not that good. Marion and Marbury are consistent offensively, and Amare is fairly consistent overall, although I think the league is adjusting to how to guard him. They do really miss Penny--just as we missed Rice more than many admitted, and Tskalides would help them too. What I have been noticing is they are losing on the road even when they get their expected production from Marion and Marbury. That is not a good sign for them. We do have a much deeper and better team overall, but Francis, Yao and Mobley just have not been as consistent as the Suns trio and that is why we are virtually even with them in the standings. We get that more steady production from our 3 key guys--we should be able to get some distance and secure a playoff spot.
No, I don't think that would be a good idea. People too lazy to type out KeepKeepKenny would use your initials, KKK. You might get a reputation.
