Wow, Terry, that's insightful.

"What do you have to do to get back in the game?"

"Oh, we have to make a run and play some defense."

Where's the defense Porter was talking about?

You know what's funny about Diaw? He makes the shot if he doesn't go for the fake first, but once he hesitates, he misses.

Looks like more Lakers porn folks.

Hope they enjoyed getting punched in the face all night.

Watching the offense rely on Hill/Barnes jumpers and Boris hesitations is sickening.

This is absolutely disgusting. I'll give credit to the Laker's defense, but we are just way too predictable. Any defense will look good against the Suns totally predictable offense. Again, Raja was hot early on, but absolutely got ignored standing wide open in the corner several times. And it's not like he isn't busting his a** on D. Is it really against Porter's rule if we're hitting 3's in transition?

Boris was a beast tonight. He punished the small Fisher, made some sick spin moves, and was hitting his jumper. But what we do, feed Shaq.

Porter: We aren't a running team anymore. That's past.

Raja: We are a running team. We are built to run.

Nash: We need to run more when Shaq is out of the game.

Shaq: Championships is won playing inside-out not outside-in. Give me the ball.

(I wonder what about the 'Amare Stoudemire' project he talked about when he arrived PHX?)

Amare: I want to dominate, give me the ball.

Good thing is we're only 13 games in so adjustments can be made. I'm still holding up hopes, Porter.

Well you know? I'm convinced that you can't turn a bunch of bad or mediocre defenders (exceptions: Hill and Bell) into a defensive juggernaut. You can be Porter, Larry Brown or that guy with the unwritalble name from the Celtics (lol) you're not gonna make it.

Right now we are not playing to our streghts. We got Nash and Stoudemire and we never try a pick n roll and these two guys could be deadly doing it. Damn we all know it. Our offense sucks. We'll never be a great half court team. No way.

Boris was aggressive early in the game, but then we went away from him and was benched for too long. Can't expect him to stay hot/aggressive like that...

I never thought I'd say this, but this team is less fun to watch than that 29-53 team in 03-04...at least we had crazy rookie Barbosa and JJ/Amare tearing it up.

enigmatics · Post #135 » by **enigmatics** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 5:45 am

I've never seen a so-called "superstar" neutralized as much as Amare. Without spacing, it's like this guy is helpless.

They are just on, and we look like crap. YOu would think after

We need a good GM who can make smart moves and bring in the right players for this team. we have not had that for years now and that continues to today. Mitch has been smart with his moves in putting together a solid team.

I wish I was at the arena to punch those guys. And being there I'd try to punch Porter too.
