Is playing at home Bell's problem? 

Post#1 » by KJ7 » Fri Jan 4, 2008 8:19 am

Boy does this guy suck at home!

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3467

33% and 28% FG & 3pt %'s respectively. OK, he has only played 9 games but that is downright atrocious!

He is actually getting similar avges as last season if you only take his away form into consideration.

So are the new rims or something else his problem with playing at home?

Maybe the church bell sounds at home, coupled with another 50 or so people ringing mini bells in the stands is driving him nuts. :nod:

At this point I think he would welcome a name change to even something like Raja Gong.

No. I think playing hurt and long minutes is Bell's problem.

I think playing at home is this TEAM's problem. We drop one to Houston, get ANNIHILATED by the Lakers, get blown out in the 1st quarter by the Sonics, and drop another one tonight to NO. Geez.

One of my biggest criticisms about every Suns team that I've ever seen is that we don't dominate at home enough. Maybe it's our running style but we should be taking losses at home personally.

This is particularly evident in the play-offs against the more challenging teams. Even when we have home-court advantage we always manage to slip up at least once.

It's very annoying!

BEING A DOUCHEBAG IS BELL'S PROBLEM

and he's been gimped up lately. i thought his defense was getting better but last night i assumed he got injured after the first few minutes.

great game to play banks instead. raja is too slow to play sg w pargo and paul out there. he cant guard pargo but pargo can guard him.

we lost this game tho when barbs guarded peja like 3 or 4 possessions in a row. WTF? that was the first time i wanted coach mike to get fired ever.
