Re: Really excited about Robin Lopez
My favorite was that inbound alley-oop and damn I'm not even remembering now but I think it was something like Marbury to Amar'e?? No, that doesn't sound right. Was JoeJ involved? Or Matrix? Jeez my memory is horrible for my age lately..but that play was awesome!

Re: Really excited about Robin Lopez
Yeah same here it's so nice seeing Robin running the floor and actullay dunking the ball now instead of just laying it up everytime. I guess Brook Lopez must have gave him a few pointers on how to play in the nba
. I hope Robin keeps up this great play in the playoffs and the future.

Re: Really excited about Robin Lopez
After watching tonights game I guess this is what he would look like without the Nash pick and rolls and alley oops comming to him...

1. way to find the worst possible thing in a great win
2. its way too small a sample size
3. are you admitting how much nash helps this team

Re: Really excited about Robin Lopez
there is a reason that nash is a 2 time MVP. I think lopez is a good garbage guy and he understands his role. I think his peak would be an nba all star but thats a stretch.

gut check time suckas!

That dude could out-pass Steve Nash. He was ridiculous with that ball. It's really a shame he could never keep the weight off; he had a TON of potential.
Anybody remember the time the Suns won a game with 0.2 seconds left on an inbound pass from O at the half-court line to Barkley for a wham-bam-slam?
Oh god yes. I miss Oliver, thank you for jogging my memory. It's too bad he pulled an Eddie Curry.
That dude was a good shot blocker, had soft hands and good passing. I wanted the Suns to keep him but I guess he never could keep his weight down.

Bumpety bump bump. 30 and 12 for Sideshow Rob last night. Not too shabby. He & Dragic are really making the Suns' scouting department look good right now. Imagine if they drafted guys every year, instead of every 3 years?

Re: Really excited about Robin Lopez
Not quite ready to say that he has made it quite yet but I have been very pleasantly surprised with his production. I've noticed he actually moves pretty well, as in he's pretty co-ordinated for his height. I kind of cringe when he puts up those one handed hooks/floaters ... I'm still amazed he makes them even if they are from 10-13 feet.
He seems to be a lot more consistent when being the big man in the PnR, which isn't too surprising. I noticed that even when he was having a good game he wouldn't play more then 30 mins so I'm glad he got a chance to play quite a few mins.
He'll be a serviceable big man but he still has a lot to learn on both ends of the court. I actually think he could improve most on the defensive end rather then the offensive. He needs to learn to time his jumping a little better and he could comfortably be a Okafor-type player in regards to his stats. Not sure he'll ever be more then a 15-8-2 player but I won't be complaining if that's what he turns out to be.

That was the first suns game I remember watching If my 9 year old memory serves me right. Big O threw it off the backboard and Barkley grabbed it with one hand and sort of scooped it in.

Re: Really excited about Robin Lopez
Interesting findrsavaj.
Our offense has not dipped at all since Rolo became a starter which is impressive considering he was suppose to be an offensive liability before he became a starter. Our FG% has not changed, our turnovers have gone down by almost 1 and our FT% has not dipped either. Defensively the stats when Rolo is in are pretty impressive, an increase of 1.78DREB and 0.85 OREB. It shows that he's doing his job on the defensive end while offensively we did not have to worry about him being exploited.
