hunter is to clark, as schnakenpopanz is to hedo...

as rocket/suns/theman44 is to... ?

I never understood that phenomenon. I haven't seen any of those in Australia despite knowing quite a few Italian people.

Maybe it's because we don't get Jersey Shore on free TV.

That's probably why the awful Ed Hardy clothing line went out of business in Australia.

New Jersey is apparently down the Yellow Brick Road.

Gentry, beware of the fire!!!!!!

[CALPURNIA]

I really do not see a solution for this.
Every 4 man in the opposite team kills us in every game.
The roster is completely descompensated and it is really difficult to apply a different system when you have almost no interior defense, no rebounders, no shot-blockers and nobody willing to do the dirty work.

Gentry isn't getting fired. It looks like he's doing exactly what the FO wants him to do--Just like he did last season and the season before that when he took over for Porter, who was ALSO only doing what he was asked to do.

The issue here is that the Suns defense is one of the worst I've ever seen. When Nash plays and the offense is brilliant, the defense can be overlooked to a large degree. This team simply has zero defensive talent...Yes, defensive talent. Defense isn't just about playing hard or 'wanting it', it's about employing individuals who are talented defensively.

Outside of a personnel change, the defense isn't going to fix itself. Nash can't get back soon enough...

Not much good to be gleaned from this embarassment. Have to say that Brown has done a nice job with the cats - they play well together - and we could use a SJax on our team


this was a bad one - shake it off, rub some spit into it, walk it off, pound the old Budweiser and let's get to the next one

I'm with you, this is a personnel problem not a coaching problem.

gentry shouldn't be taking the blame.. he's working with what he has to work with... a POORLY constructed team.
