PHX fans are going to have quite the love/hate relationship with Shaq.
Zoo crew time!
32 point lead...just laughed out loud while rolling all over my floor.
wow they are really en fuego this afternoon. pouring it on, i love it.[smilie=rip.gif]
stuckey is really trying to be more of a distributor. he's not bad at it, in fact he makes some really nice passes usually. but i bet its years before he is helping us more as a distributor than when hes out there getting his own baskets. thats when hes at his best, attacking, and then passing second.
not really a knock on him. knowing how to run an offense like that is hard to do. most guys in the nba arent very good at it.
Put Dixon in! We need to win by 40.
i want to see some Walter and Juan on the floor!
Anyone that doesn't think that Steve Kerr just destroyed the Suns with that Shaq trade is nuts.
^ agreed. this is only one game. and i don't doubt they're get more accustomed to each other as time goes on.
but overall this was a HORRIBLE trade for the suns. not only does shaq hinder their team and not fit their offense, but he's not even HALF the player he once was. so he'll be almost insignificant for them come playoff time.
i know i'd love for us to go up against him. he doesn't scare me whatsoever.
Gawd, I'm so glad I saw the light on Amir. So happy he's playing.
think shaq will back down on his 'this is the greatest team ever assembled' statement.....?
stuckey can't hit a shot today.
i wanna see dixon!
He picked the right day.
17 for Jarvis? Someone cool him off!
Did I just say that?
18, that was a 3.
Oh, I heard Breen say it was 17.
Someone cool him off!
Shaq's going to throw his teamates under the bus once they get eliminated in the 2nd round of the playoffs...
d'antoni still think the suns are better than us?
he said to his team earlier that they will win this game because they're simply better than us. LOL
Yeah, I heard about that.
dixon!
D'antoni is an arrogant prick. You can tell when you look at him and when he talks sometimes.
Amir needs to work his strength, FT',s and jumper and a little ballhandling and he's going to be a stud.
This game gives me such a warm and fuzzy that I think I must be boozing it!
atta boy dixon- get in the boxscore, even if it is with a 'foul'.
If I were a Suns season ticket holder, I'd hang Kerr in effigy up in the rafters.
shaq is going to be a terrible fit till hes a good fit. they just got to adjust.
and kerr hardly destroyed anything. all phx ever was was a good pretender.
i figured there would be some tough growing pains. this one was brutal though.
Should have gotten more for Marion, that's for sure.
Expiring deals would have been better than Shaq/his contract, by far.
Unrelated, but I think it's funny how Suns fans only started bitching about Stoudemire getting suspended last year in the playoffs after they choked away game 5 against SA.
sheeeeeed!!!!!!
Oh yeah and looking at the Suns the past two games (Celtics, vs us), it's hard to believe they scored 124 vs. the Lakers.
marion already was an expiring.Quote:

even though daequan cook is a rookie, his shooting mgihtve helped the suns.
at this point, i think hill's lack of range is hurting the suns more than shaq's lack of being good.
Shaq played a key role in Phoenix smothering Boston 2 nights ago. He killed them on the boards and defending the paint.
That said, he matches up really poorly against a team like the pistons that doesn't have a kedrick perkins to keep him in the paint.
Denver tomorrow?
We're going to lose to Utah, so 3/4 on this trip will be nice.
GlennD my friend, you might want to at least hold off on starting the "LOL @ Steve Kerr" thread, even though the temptation is there.
PHX have the toughest remaining schedule though, so things will be interesting.
My bad, I thought that he had like a $17m option year (that he'd be stupid to not take).Quote:

i thought he had a terrible game today. if he can only play one way (the way he got 2 questionable mvps), then this trade will not work. he needs to slow down the game while shaq is on the floor. cuz shaq in A+ condition cannot keep up with the suns. hes in probably D to C shape right now. so he'll get better, but on his best day he still slows them down. if nash (and dantoni) dont accomodate, then its not working. to me, this could go a long way to justifying those mvps (or discreditting them).
It's funny to me that everytime Nash has a bad game his MVPs are questioned.
Who else does that happen to?
