Suns @ Kings Game Thread

[Zack]

When will we figure out how to finish quarters?

 

[VF21]

I think Brockman needs to come in and claim the paint as his and no one shall dare try and enter.

While that might work against some teams, it won't work against the Suns. they'll just stand out at the perimeter and lob long shots all night long...

When will we figure out how to finish quarters?

as far as i know - we finished every quarter we played this season

 

[TIG Kings]

When will we figure out how to finish quarters?

When the real PG will have the ball in his hands!

Nice to see you're already in full form for so early in the new year.

easy to stay in shape when you don't play every game and you have good man to back you up

the same way we've been finishing OTs

 

[piksi]

the same way we've been finishing OTs

absolutely, we finished those too

Noc had a chance to pass the ball to Evans but instead chose to shot. What a ball hog. He hardly ever passes the ball.

I think his hustle will help for rebounds and putting a body on people.. hopefully hard enough to knock them over.

that was actually a rare good decision he made considering that defender was playing the passing lane

Suns got a bigger rim.

Every team has a bigger rim against us, all part of David Stern's grand plan.

I don't know. I replayed it and it looks like Evans was opened. Oh well, the play is over.

 

[piksi]

ouch - we don't need this

 

[Rockmeister]

Nice pass by Donte to Casspi and now Donte is hurt.

 

[xrzn]

There goes all of Donte's potential.

 

[Fresno King]

Uh oh Donte... hope that's not serious...

 

[Sluggah]

wow. not cool.

 

[VF21]

OUCH! Well, look at that. More Kings luck... All it took was Garcia being cleared for full-contact practice, and it looks as though there will, in fact, be room for him in the rotation.

I certainly hope Greene is okay...

 

[xrzn]

From the looks of the replay, it didn't look too serious.

 

[piksi]

these rim sux

someone tear them up and put a pair of new ones

 

[VF21]

Now, on the good news side, it certainly looks as though the brace is no longer bothering Evans in the least.

 

[Armadillo]

From the looks of the replay, it didn't look too serious.

On the other hand, he bolted to the locker-rooms, which isn't a good sign.
He must've been in a lot of pain..

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Wow, PHX shooting 55% already...we're only down 6 though. (even though I still think we'll lose by 16 or so...hopefully they'll surprise me. )

 

[piksi]

Suns are getting abused by Nocioni. You don't get to that every night

Welcome back Francisco Garcia!

I've seen the Suns in person more at Arco than any other visiting team. For the most part, the Kings lose before the Suns win because they try and play the Suns game. If they manage to avoid that pitfall, they're generally in a position to win. But alas, the lure of the fast-break and run-and-gun basketball is strong...and our kids are young.

 

[Aenadin]

phoenix commentators drooling over evans.. nocioni foul on dragic and now that drive knocking amundson...

noc why werent you like that against the lakers?

 

[M_Barragan]

JT is just awful in the Post. It makes me want to vomit just how bad he is in there.

 

[xrzn]

Greene is back on the bench!
