I guess it doesn't matter whether Diaw starts or not, then.

After the 0-4 start, Raja is now 6-10 from no-man land. Wow.

Ahhhh! It's always nice to jump into a game in which you are rolling over your opponents.

How are ya guys?

Nice Amare padding stats

Only really watched 2nd + 3rd quarters of this game and our offense in the 3rd looked very sharp compared to the 2nd quarter

our bench after guy #7 sucks. its no wonder DA wont play any of you scrubs.

I would much rather see the suns come out in the 1st and 2nd qtrs and build a huge lead than coast until midway thru the 3rd and then turn it on. something seems more professional about stepping on an inferior opponent early rather than later.

I wouldn't, because the Suns have been terrible at losing leads since at least when I started watching them 15 years ago.

man against the spurs bell and barbs combined fof 1-3 from behind the three point line

thats disgraceful, tonight they are 12 of 21

to only take 3 in that game shows something was missing, we need them combining for at least 12 3 point attempts per game

The Spurs D perhaps? They are known for stopping perimeter shooting.

no chance, there were shots for the taking, they just werent taking them

i know the spurs D is good at stopping the 3, but 3 attempts only is pure BS

I totally agree my friend, after watching that game I am convinced that our struggles against the Spurs now are 100% psychological. We have the tools to blow them out of the water but for some reason the team seemed to be just that little more hesitant to shoot and more tentative on offense. We just seemed afraid of winning.

Maybe that's why we're looking for a trade, we need to get over that psychological wall that plagues our veterans..
