It's becoming more apparent every game.

forget about all the things i said about the Suns being contenders in the west this is pathetic

Whatever, we've had a tough stretch of games, and this was the best the Heat have played all season. I hate to get blown out, but we're playing three of the top players in the league and having a terrible shooting night...just gotta shrug it off and look forward to the next one.

+1

These guys still played with 100% effort, even down 30. F*** Miami - lebron and his cheap shots, etc.

[JohnVancouver]

Ok, a rough night - but

Siler looks good, I think Barron can help and I thought Clark did some good things. Two impressive rebounds where he just took the ball -

we're gonna be fine

[blackjays1]

The second i heard the announcers say Nash has a groin injury i thought "shiiiiiiiet even if he plays we're getting blown out by 20".

If any of you expected us to win tonight then you deserve to be disappointed. And don't be bitching about how much we were blown out either, Orlando was raped by the Heat earlier in the season as badly as we were tonight. Ya'll think we're playing a team thats gonna finish the way they've started the season? By years end the Heat will have the best record in the east, if not the league.

I think the mindset wasn't there for our players in this game. We will definitely player better next time.

off course Bosh had to have a good game. the team just didnt have it tonight.

Exactly what I was saying. They looked like the lost before they even started playing.

[lilfishi22]

I think most of the guys counted Nash to be out for this game so they didn't expect to have much chance going into the game so they came out flat. Nash didn't really help the cause either by playing injured.

[ma_falaa_50]

if thats the case then the suns team should not have shown up to the arena then! I think the suns came out flat much like they did vs denver but they could not recover. I think the team is probably overwhelmed with the fact that everyone is going to have to bring their A game because they are basically a jump shooting team.

At what point am I allowed to be concerned about Goran's freethrow shooting.

I'm concerned about everyone's. If we want to not get rebounds, and if we want to give up extra points, then we damn well be 85% FT shooters.

[Blackification]

Reminds me of the cleveland game last year.. just one of those days where its a bad match up

[DRK]

Wait.. Since when was Nash playing injured?

Yeah, I was going back to that game constantly last night.

[BurningHeart]

Wait.. Since when was Nash playing injured?

Up until 10 min before game time, we didn't know whether his groin was going to be up to playing. He had to convince Gentry to let him play.

I would flush this one down the toilet. Nash was injured, and let's be honest, these types of losses are bound to happen agianst the NBA's elite when a team has such glaring deficiencies, like the Suns do. As Grant Hill indicated in the post-game, Phoenix had no margin for error...Unfortunately, the Suns were error'ing all over the place....

Let's move on, and hope we can rack up a couple wins during this tough stretch---and get the wins going when our schedule evens out.

I was referring to being ripped a new one for disliking his freethrow shooting this summer, and was wondering when I was allowed to be concerned about it. I guess my concerns were and are valid. I guess the person calling me an idiot was really the pot calling the kettle black. Thanks Frank, an apology can be given at any time.
