I will say this... The Suns have no chance of making any noise if they can't rebound the damn ball. Common... Brewer was looking like Moses Malone out there at times.

well marion being out is hurting them on the boards... its more of a must win for Utah then it is for suns. Losing while out rebounding the other team is just not good.

The officiating is laughable

Amare still couldn't hold position vs a non post player like memo. In the past I defended Amare when they called himn horrible on D but now I ran outta excuses

Meh, everyone in the world except for D'Antoni has realized that Amare is not a center and shouldn't be counted on to anchor the team's defense every night. Our permiter D lets people get to the hoop at will leaving Amare the only person down there to defend, and he just can't do it. We have Skinner who should start at center along side Amare to keep him out of foul trouble and greatly improve our post defense, but our braindead coach will never let that happen. Maybe if Diaw, Marks, Nash, Hill, and Marion miss next game.

To me that would be the best idea to play skinner at center and amare at PF moving marion to sf or the bench

" IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT! YOU DONT LIKE NBA BASKETBALL! "

A T'Wolves fan watching a Kings game?

Blasphemy!

Garcia with the big shot. Kings win.

Rudy Gady was impressive except for that turnover at the end of the game

Thank God I went out last night and didn't have to rely on basketball.

yea i understand why the starters played so many minutes, I'm just making the point that its not like they are trying to make playoffs.. they are locked so they should have trust in their bench and give them some experience going against the spurs especially when they are up because next time they most likely wont be up by 20.

We've been complaining about it all year. The Pistons bench this year is actually pretty damn good. But when push comes to shove, Flip will run his starters into the ground.

In fact, the only reason the starters have averaged so few minutes, is that they had alot of blowout type games where the bench played the entire fourth quarters which skewed the numbers.

The Dallas game, it was the bench that actually cut the deficit down to 5 going into the half. But Saunders rode the starters for 15 minutes to start the 2nd half and that 5 pt deficit became a 19 pt deficit and then he surrenders and played the bench the rest of the game.

So the bench mpg look nice, but the context in which he uses the bench is the problem.

John Salmons last night, against doctor's orders, plays with the flu and puts up 28/11/7.
