Screw the Suns, they dont play with heart anymore, which is shame. F*ck Nash and his 10 tournovers tonight. Nash had his best years before but now I would rather play dj strawberry over Nash anyday. This team is horrible, thanx kerr for making this trade.

I said I was done earlier, but I'll still watch. Maybe it's my morbid curiousity. Any rate, this team is on life support and they have a tough road ahead.

Man, if they could just give a little more effort on transition D, they would be fine. But, because Mike D only plays 6-7 guys, they have to conserve effort and go half ass during stretches.

to all the bandwagon fans who have decided to not watch this team when the going gets tough......

dont let the door hit you on the way out

the suns need bandwagon fans as much as they need piatkowski

anyone who wants to criticise nash for a bad week or so of play, really, doesnt deserve to be a fan of this team

ill keep cheering, win lose or draw

see ya!

oh please. Look at your sig, and now you're calling for Kerr's head for making such a horrible trade. At least be consistent with which side you're standing by :lol:

I'll keep watching. Yes I've said numerous time that I hate the trade, but I'm still praying and hoping that things could work out and we go to the Finals. That's what being a fan is. I may not support all the decisions they made, but I'll support this team till the end.

Go Suns.

Oh COME ON man! First of all, there are about a billion threads regarding how much the team sucks already, so there really wasn't any reason for another one, and second of all don't let those bad games get to you that badly. Watching our team play this awful pisses me off, as well, but if you root for a franchise you do so no matter whether they win or loose. At least that's how I see it.

I still watch my team's games, wish we had your record lol. Nash is a top 3 PG in the NBA, how can you say he's no good now? Wade is struggling for us at times this year too(mostly due to injury), but I know he's still a top 3 SG.

I think Shaq was a bad trade though, tonight is why we traded him, 8pts 7rebs and a L happened all too often.

Marion is playing pretty good for us and I think he was your heart and soul. Plays defense better than anyone on your team and was your best rebounder.

Shaq is not providing any defense as you guys are still allowing a ton of points and now are without Marion's versatility on D. Not sure what Shaq can do to improve. His offense is non-existent if its not a dunk(he has to be within 2 feet of basket when he gets the ball) or alley-oop.

By the way guys I'm not a bandwagon fan. Ive been a Suns fan since 1998. This is what happens when a good team like the Suns never win a championship, i get into a panic mode because I love this team with my heart but when management makes stupid trades it just irritates me so much. Since we aquired shaq this team has player competely different, atleast with marion other teams were afraid of us, but now no teams kill us every single game.

Adios fairweather fans!

It'll be much more enjoyable pulling up some of the posts I see right now at the end of the year so the few of us who aren't jumping off a cliff can laugh.

That's what I was trying to say - I can rely to your feelings regarding the team: I hate this trade, hate that Marion is gone and can't stand watching Shaq playing for us, but it's not like I can change anything about it. And starting such a kind of thread immediatly after a loss we absolutely deserved is never a good idea, since of course you're being pissed and not looking at the whole thing in a rational kind of way.

I remember a game not too long ago when Raja's tons of missed shots really drove me mad and I started ranting on him all the time - then he starting hitting them and I felt like a dork :lol:

Everything is gonna be OK. The next 4 games are really tough but I think we are gonna beat POrtland, Denver , Utah and SA...yeah baby!!!!!!!

These games have to give us the momentum for the rest of the season. If we go 1-3 or 0-4 it's over.

P.S.: Our schedule is really hard.

Lol I just came back from work, the moment I saw the lost vs the Sixers I was imagining how our board would turn into Judgement day and the end of the world :rofl:


Shaq = is old, he is trying his best and hopefully he finds his niche and can pick his spots to be more effective.

Amare = been very consistent so far and prob the only reason the suns haven't lost every single game.

Barbs + Bell = Our notorious 1 2 punch chuckers have been very very streaky and as of late for the worse. Bell especially seems to getting a lot more flack to "guard" the opposing perimeter without Marion.

Nash = He's been having a rough week no doubt, part of it is he's not getting any younger, another part is he's always been the focus of the other team so when his shot is not dropping early he can be abused throughout the night. Honestly aside from the few blatantly bad turnovers, most of his TO's stem from trying to work the new system with Shaq inside. We all say he makes great decision, best passer etc.... but it's really hard to "figure" things out. Just gotta give him time to adjust to the post Shaq era.


So yeah we're not playing our best ball yet but you can't honestly question the heart of this team. We just have outdated defensive schemes, players confused about their new roles etc... They are trying, don't bail on them while they adjust.

@RisingSun: your current signature might come back to hunt us if the team keeps playing the way it did recently - good this is, though: at least we're still contenders in this respect ;)

If you don;t want to watch the Suns now, please don;t jump on the wagon when we are hitting in all cylinder. Is this team playing like s*i** yes, but I'm Suns fan thru thick and thin. Some of you are getting as bad as the Lakers fan, when they come out only when they are winning.

So if you want to get out, get out but please don;t come back in again. GO SUNS!!!!!

Yeah I'm in for the long haul, but goddamn it is frustrating knowing what these guys are capable of and seeing them fluff around and look beatable no matter who they play.

Grow a pair and man up. Make other teams NOT want to play you, cos as it stands now EVERY West team wants us first round of the playoffs.

I will never jump off this team. I have been with them for 28 years now. But I will criticize them. First off, DA has to play his bench, hands down. Some of our guys are not getting the job done, and are not playing with heart. We are an old team, and DA can

I am not quitting this team. Been a fan since 1991.

But out of all the years, this has to be the most gutrenching. Hell, even during the 03-04 season when we were 29-53 it was fine. Because we dumped talant and salary to get better the next year, which we did with Nash.

But whe you have a team filled with two all stars (a future HoFer in Shaq and Nash), it's tough watching them lose. If we were nothing but scrubs and our best players were Bell and Barbosa.... well losing to teams like the 76ers would be fine.

Every loss this season seems a lot harder because I think deep down everyone feels this could be a last legitment season at a title. Whether people will admit that or not is another story.
