That play wasn't anyone's fault. And it still worked out ok because he did went to the FT line. It's not that LB is a selfish player or a ball hog or he dislikes Shawn, he just isn't Nash that can make pass that no one else can see.
Normally I agree with most of your points Mkot but i disagree about LB not being a ballhog. I don't know if you guys saw this change in Barbs but he's gotten the Imthenewkobebryant complex. He was a great secret weapon X off of the bench but I think the turnaround point was when he scored that big buzzer beater vs Chicago a while back and then everyone was so hyped up about him he started believing his own hype.
I'm not saying Barbs is a bad shooter, he's a great one. But his shot selection at times makes me want to toss my comp out of the window. Like sometimes he really THINKS he is kobe and will toss random bricks out of the left field instead of running a smarter play or even better passing it back to Nash who will prob make a better decision for him.
This is strictly my two cents but honestly I think the whole getting out rebounded thing and playing supposedly bad D is getting out of hand. We get out rebounded most nights not cause of lack of hustle but rather because MD likes to go small. We give up rebounds but we burn them with speed just as much, making them tired etc... Also when shots actually fall in for the suns, there is nothing to rebound and even on our best wins we still get out rebounded because our shots went in.
Playing D on the other hand can be easily seen when rotation is lazy, defender not moving up on a screen, or bad communication opening up the lane etc... like every NBA team plays bad D at times. We're no better or worse. Our Achilles so far is random stiff that goes inside which gets countered when we insert our own goon in Skinner.
Just getting sick and tired of stupid commentators who sees the defender putting a hand in his face and playing him tight. Shot goes in and it's bad defense, shot misses and it's great defense. Like give me a fu#%$# break fu retards.
Amare is a gaping black hole, Barbs is a hole, Bell wants to be a hole. Either MD or his brother need to bang their heads to get them to play teamball a lot more. The mental lapses is what kills this team if anything.
